TIMELY GREENHOUSE NOTES. 



The border of hardy perennials 

 looks its brightest at this season. 

 Weeding, staking, tying, labeling and 

 watering should be attended to at this 

 time. The seeds of most varieties 

 germinate readily and can be grown 

 into sturdy little plants. A frame or 

 a nicely prepared seed bed may be 

 used for this work, or the seeds may 

 be started in trays or boxes. All 

 transplant easily when still small. An 

 early pricking off is advisable and 

 soon after that a planting into cold 

 frames or the open borders with suffi- 

 cient time for re-establishment before 

 winter sets in. This is one of the 

 ways whereby good stock may be had 

 for next year's sales where garden 

 space is limited. 



weakening the growth and the 

 strength of the eyes which will now 

 be forming. Ramblers need watchful 

 care just now, that is, those which are 

 grown in pots under glass during sun - 

 mer. Then there will be canes and 

 eyes' which will give a truss of blooms 

 at every eye. The moisture will be 

 retained much better if the pots are 

 plunged into a bench where there is 

 some soil. The desired amount of 

 growth will be made by the end of 

 August, and the plants may be stood 

 outdoors to ripen up their wood. They 

 should be given plenty of room so the 

 sun will reach through them. Give a 

 good syringing early in the morning 

 and right after dinner. 



Carnations in the field should be 

 cultivated once every week, even 

 should there be no rain. After every 

 rain cultivate just as soon as the soil 

 may be worked, but be careful not to 

 work the soil while it is wet. The 

 idea is to form a dust mulch on top 

 to conserve the moisture below. Stems 

 which have begun to run up should be 

 pinched back. In that way by bench- 

 ing time you will have plants with 

 shoots in every stage of growth, and 

 that means a steady crop of blooms 

 next winter. Go over the plants often 

 so that you will be able to top each 

 shoot at the time it is ready. In this 

 way the plants will not be allowed to 

 make unnecessary growth. 



Rambler roses must have an abund- 

 ance of water and daily heavy syring- 

 ing. Our hottest weather often comr 

 at the end of July, and if the tender 

 and unripened shoots of these roses 

 suffer for w T ater, mildew will set in. 



The seed of stocks should be sown 

 now for next winter's blooming. Good 

 varieties are Beauty of Nice, a fresh 

 pink, Mont Blanc, a splendid white, 

 Queen Alexandra, a delicate lilac, Em- 

 press Elizabeth, a deep rose. Do not 

 forget the old standby "cut and come 

 again" for a white. Pot the seedlings 

 up singly as soon as they are large 

 enough to handle, and let them come 

 along in a cool house. It may be neces- 

 sary to put them into 3% inch pots 

 before they can be planted on the 

 benches after the early chrysanthe- 

 mums come out. Where you want to 

 have a large amount of double flowers 

 it is best to wait until they show 

 flower buds. The blunt buds always 

 come double. 



Antirrhinums which were propa- 

 gated early and are now in four-inch 

 pots should be planted out in a bench 

 now. A rich soil such as would grow 

 good carnations should be used, and 

 they should be set twelve inches apart' 

 each way.
