ROEHRS. 



Lorraine Begonias 



specimens four to five feet high is 

 one of the best hotel plants. Its 

 variegation being confined to the mid- 

 dle of the leaf, the margin being al- 

 ways solid green, makes the edges 

 less liable to decay. The contents of 

 a 200 ft. house of this Dracaena were 

 all sold for Christmas. 



Bougainvilleas. 

 A plant that stands well for weeks 

 is Bougainvillea Sanderiana. Well 

 flowered, it is a beautiful and very 

 desirable thing; partially flowered it 

 is of no account. The great key to 

 success is in properly ripening the 

 wood in the fall. A house of speci- 

 mens 2Vz to 3 ft. across in 10 and 12- 

 in. pots will make a glorious show 

 for Easter. These plants are three 

 years old, home grown. They have 

 now been for over three weks in a 

 night temperature of 60 degrees, and 

 with bright weather there will be no 



need to increase this. It is desirable 

 to get the Bougainvillea well ahead, 

 as then the color of the bracts will 

 be more brilliant. 



We shall have another "Wireless" 

 next week about lilies and other Easter 

 specialties.
