Kdiror lIOltTICULTURE.— I'lwise ask 

 some of yuur experieucd readers the best 

 way to tri'at Baby Rambleis. sn as to 

 have riiein in tlo'i'/L-i- for Christmas 



IJ.\ltVMORE. 



It talies about nine (9) weeks to 

 bring the I'aby Rambler rose into 

 bloom from a semi-dormant state: it is 

 now Sept. 12tb — about fourteen weeks 

 until Christmas; this allows about a 

 month from date to dry the plants off 

 a little, in order to get the wood in a 

 hard and ripe condition. In drying the 

 plants off caie should be taken not to 

 overdo It; sprinkle them occasionally, 

 just enough to keep the bark from 

 shrivelling. In starting the plants in- 

 to growth the night temperature for 

 the first three weeks should be kept 

 as near fA\ rlegrees to .55 degrees as 

 possible, after which time the tempera- 

 ture might be increased to 60 degrees 

 to (5.5 degrees at night; the day tem- 

 perature may go higher, without In- 

 jiirv, provided plenty of air be given.

TO BLOOM BOUGAINVILLEAS IN 

 SUMMER. 



I have a lot of large Bougainvilleas 

 which I desire to use for outdoor deco- 

 rations in summer, but invariably, with 

 exception of a few stray flowers, they 

 fail to bloom. My way of treating 

 them has been to plant them out in the 

 spring and they make a luxuriant 

 growth. In the fall I cut them back 

 and put them in a house kept at about 

 50 degrees. They start to grow to- 

 wards spring and would bloom in the 

 house, but as soon as I transfer them 

 to the open the result is very few 

 flowers. Should be pleased to hear 

 from some one that had experience 

 with said plants for early summer 

 bloom. R. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM. 



Of the several forms of this useful 

 border flower the latest was recently 

 shown at the National Dahlia Show. 

 It is certainly a grand novelty and far 

 surpasses King Edward VII and Top 

 Sawyer. Messrs. J. F. Groves & Son 

 of Cedar Nursery, who exhibited it un- 

 der the name of Mrs. Charles Lothian 

 Bell, had a long table with vases full 

 of cut blooms of great size. This va- 

 riety has pure white, broad, massive 

 petals of great length, which are 

 iDorne on long, stiff stems. It is a 

 profuse bloomer, of compact habit, and 

 lasts from May till October. As a pot 

 plant for decorative purposes it prom- 

 ises to be quite an aequLsition.

AN EXTRAORDINARY PLUM CROP. 



Plums were almost given away at 

 Covent Garden on Saturday, when, ow- 

 ing to the extraordinary supply on 

 hand, the fruit could be bought at 

 7 l-2d. a bushel. Victoria plums were 

 sold at Id. for 5 lb., and were still 

 cheaper at the end of the day. The 

 best Green Gages sold at Is. 3d. per 

 half-sieve, an almost unprecedented 

 price. So great is the glut that thou- 

 sands of tons of fruit still on the trees 

 will probably be allowed to drop on the 

 ground and be given to the pigs. — Jour- 

 nal of Horticulture, London.
