above and the beds will soon show new 

 life. This operation may be repeated 

 from time to time. 



"If proper temperature and a good 

 growing atmosphere is maintained a 

 bed of good material should continue 

 to bear for about three months time. 

 Be sure to procure the spawn from a 

 reliable firm and keep the same in a 

 dry airy place some time before it is 

 needed. The writer has been growing 

 mushrooms for sixteen years and rare- 

 ly has been unable to pick good speci- 

 mens any month during the year. 



THE CULTURE OF FREESIAS. 



The culture of freesias is of the 

 simplest character. The plants like 

 rich, open and fairly light soil, cool 

 temperature, abundance of sunlight at 

 all stages of growth, and plenty of 

 moisture as the blooming season ap- 

 proaches. Bulbs or conns should be 

 potted up in August or September, as 

 it is not well to keep them long out of 

 the soils. Seven large bulbs or about 

 ten smaller ones, can be well accom- 

 modated in a six-inch pot which 

 should be provided with ample drain- 

 age. Press the bulbs to the level in 

 the clamp compost and cover with half 

 an inch or more of coarse sand, or fine 

 gravel if available. Place outside in a 

 sheltered situation and water spar- 

 ingly until growth starts, then more 

 freely. At the approach of hard frost 

 in October the pots or boxes should be 

 removed to a light, cool greenhouse 

 bench and given" free ventilation and
