ABOUT SPECIMEN DAVALLIAS. 



Editor of HORTICULTURE; 



It was with much interest I read Mr. 

 Sherwood's note on specimen Davallias 

 in your issue of June oth and in reply 

 would like to say the following: 



In my article on the species in the 

 issue of May 29th I should have said; 

 It took more than two years to grow 

 this fern to this size, instead of: 

 "It takes more than two years," etc. 

 The fact is, I did not try to see how 

 big I could grow the fern, as it is now 

 plenty big enough to suit our require- 

 ments. No doubt but what the plant 

 could be as big again if we had fol- 

 lowed the method advised by Mr. Sher- 

 ^iood, but it would then be too big for 

 ordinary purposes in decorating and 

 very awkward to handle. A plant in a 

 10-inch pot can easily be moved about 

 and can be used to good advantage in 

 decorating. 



I am not prepared to say whether 

 the plant here is D. f. plumosa or not, 

 as I am not an authority on ferns, it 

 is the only Davallia here outside of D. 

 bullata. 



(I can send a frond to Mr. Sherwood 

 for comparison with his specimen.) 



Our plant is watered overhead daily 

 as it can not be avoided on account 

 of the orchids which are suspended 

 from the roof and which are syringed 

 every bright day, but discoloration 

 does not take place so easily, on ac- 

 count of the dense shade in which the 

 plant has to grow. It is true, however, 

 that the fronds will discolor quickly if 

 watered overhead in strong light.

CLARKIAS AS SPRING BEDDERS, 



It is a great surprise to many culti- 

 vators that the various clarkias, easily 

 managed plants of great floviferous- 

 ness are so little cultivated for these 

 purposes; and others. The best mode 

 of growing these annuals is to sow 

 the seed in the month of October, and 

 place the pots 4 1-2 inches or 6 inches 

 in diameter in a well ventilated, low 

 house or cold pit from which frost 

 cm be excluded in the winter months; 

 and when the seedlings have grown 

 an inch or two, thin them out, leav- 

 ing from 10 to 14 in each pot. Wate'; 

 should be afforded in moderation 

 during the cold months, keeping the 

 pots near the roof glass, and apply- 

 ing air during the warm parts of the 

 day, tickling the soil to prevent it cak- 

 ing, and removing the weaker plants 

 if there is a risk of their being crowd- 

 ed over much. When mild weather 

 ensues in late spring the plants may 

 be inured for a week or two to the 

 open air gradually, and subsequently 

 planted fwithout the pots) In prepared 

 beds. They will make a pretty display 

 in May and June. F. M. 



As advertised in our issue of last 

 week, the third big annual sale of 

 decorative greenhouse stock by Wm. 

 Elliott & Sons will take place at high 

 noon Tuesday. June 22. Growers 

 looking for such goods will find much 

 in this anniversary event to interest 

 them. It was a great success last 

 year.
