IRTSH GARDEXING. 



Summer Bedding Plants 



A War Regulation. 



ALTHOUGH mucb of the ground at our disposal must be 

 utilised for food production, the ornamental mu^t not 

 be overlooked, and it is right that gardens should be main- 

 tained as far as is possible. Food production has 

 encouraged us to cultivate empty or waste corners, witli 

 the result that our gardens still provide adequate space for 

 flowers. Soldiers home from the Front will enjoy home 

 flowers, and it is part of our duty, while growing as much in 

 the way of vegetables as we can, to keep the garden bright 

 with summer flowers. 



Many readers who have economised in the use of fuel for 

 their glasshouses will have but a small supply of bedding 

 plants ready for putting out, and will obtain what they 

 require from a good nursery. A large supply ^f -vp-eU- 

 grown bedding plait" is ready at Messrs. Watson's Nur- 

 series, Clontarf, Dublin. All propagated plants, such as 

 Geraniums, Begonias, &c., are grown singly in pots, and 

 annuals are transplanted, nursed in cold frames and 

 finally hardened oii. Messrs. Watson's new list of Beddirg 

 Plants (28 pages) is the most complete of its kind in this 

 country. Mary pretty things for bedding are detailed 

 which are not commonly obtainable in nurseries. The list 

 includes an exceptionally good collection of named 

 Antirrhinums, including Sutton's well-known strains, all 

 grown in separate colours. 



Vegetable plants are quoted in large quantities and will 

 be in great demand this season. 



The War Regulation referred to above should not be 

 overlooked by Messrs. Watson's customers. Owing to the 

 scarcity of paper the Government has restricted the issue 

 of catalogues except to applicants who write for a copy. 

 For this reason Messrs. Watson's new Summer List has 

 not been posted to their customers as usual, but the lists 

 are ready and a copy will be sent by return on receipt of 

 card addressed to Clontarf Nurseries.
