Lawson varieties under glass instead 

 of in the field. In this way we get 

 earlier flowers and longer stems than 

 we can from the field-grown plants, 

 and unless we can house these varie- 

 ties from the field by the first week 

 in July, they hardly give us a first 

 crop before the holidays and short 

 stemmed flowers not up to the mark. 

 We propagate them during December 

 and January and get them into 4-inch 

 pots by May. I find, though, that un- 

 less planted under glass not later than 

 the first week in June, field-grown 

 plants planted by the end of June or 

 first of July are more satisfactory, as 

 the plants in pots are liable to suffer 

 during June from one cause or an- 

 other. 



The spaces we are able to plant in 

 May are the beds we had in chrysan- 

 themums the fall previous. Following 

 these we take out a crop of Grand 

 Rapids lettuce, then fill with potted-up 

 cuttings of carnations. We prefer 

 them all in pots as they come from 

 the cutting bench, so that the plants 

 will not suffer much if the ground hap- 

 pens to be dry and we cannot get them 

 watered right away. Then as soon as 

 the plants are in the field, we plant 

 this empty space with Lawson and 

 Winsor. 



The soil we use is sod ploughed 

 about 4 inches deep the fall previous; 

 then before we bring it in we plough 

 In a good coat of rotten manure, pul- 

 verizing it with the harrow. I have 

 found that soil prepared this way In 

 the open field is sweeter than when it 

 is put up in heaps, and the labor is 

 less. Besides, the sod piles are apt 

 to sour unless they are turned and cut 

 down, which means much work for 

 the laborers. 



I have found that other varieties 

 than the Lawsons also do very well 

 when planted under glass in spring; 

 I rather think nearly all varieties 

 would if we could only get the houses 

 ready for them without having to sac- 

 rifice hundreds or thousands of dol- 

 lars' worth of flowers to do it.
