FORCING LILAC. 



Will you please give cultural ilirections 

 for bringing the white lilac into bloom 

 for pot plants for Easter, directions to 

 include propagation ? C. W. 



Writing about lilac for Easter is a lit- 

 tle out of season just now, but this is 

 not a bad time to order your plants of 

 some good, reliable importing house, of 

 which there are plenty. Unless you are a 

 large grower it is better to buy through 

 a large firm who import thousands, than 

 it is to import a small lot yourself. You 

 will find it cheaper and the big firms who 

 import largely get a 1>etter article. Dis- 

 miss the propagating part of the busi- 

 ness, for you can't begin to raise a plant 

 from a cutting and prepare it, well set 

 with flower buds, nearly as cheaply as 

 you can buy the imported plants. The 

 forcing for Easter is most simple. When 

 you receive the plants in November or 

 December, store them in a cold frame 

 protected from severe frost, or a cool 

 cellar, but keep the roots moist. As East- 

 er was very early this year about six 

 weeks in a night temperature of 60 de- 

 grees brought them in flower all right. 

 Next year Easter is very lat« and as the 

 flower buds will be more advanced, four 

 weeks may do, but there is no harm in a 

 cool, shaded house for two weeks. Plen- 

 ty of water at the roots and a daily 

 spraying till the flowers are open is all 

 there is to it. W. S.
