 shoots appeared, and May 26 planted 200 

 in the open ground. On September 22 

 he is reported to have lifted a erop writh- 

 ing 420 pounds from his two pounds of 

 seed .1 W Maiden also topped his 

 plants when they had grown a few inches 

 and planted the cuttings just as though 

 they were pelargoniums. Each eye 

 served to start a plant, and lie was able 

 to plant an acre of land with L75 pounds 

 of seed. The plants were set thirty 

 inches apart, in rows thirty-two inches 

 asunder. Of course, to make a success 

 of this method it is necessary t,. begin 

 early, not later than March, because the 

 cuttings must be nice little plants in 

 pots by the time for planting outdoors.

 winter and read what our brother florists 

 over the whole country are doing. — C. W.
