helped through the erratic winter 

 weather by some shade in the shape 

 of evergreen branches. 



Lilium longiflorum should not be 

 taken indoors until they have made 

 abundance of roots, but they require 

 sufficient protection to prevent fro?t 

 injuring them outdoors. 



The lacli of interest apparent in 

 specimen chrysanthemum plants is in 

 line with the well-known fact that 

 anything produced of abnormal dimen- 

 sions unless it carries along with it 

 increased utility before long ceases to 

 be regarded with anything more than 

 mere curiosity. It may not be over- 

 hazardous to predict that before many 

 years the striving for the production 

 of huge monstrosities of chrysanthe- 

 mum blooms solely for the exhibition 

 table as is done almost exclusively 

 now, will be a by-gone practice.
