Apparently mignonette is to be 

 planted freely this fall and some very 

 good seed is being offered. Mignon- 

 ette needs a good compost similar to 

 that which is required for carnations. 

 Remember that mignonette needs a 

 cool, moist foundation soil. You can't 

 expect it to thrive on benches below 

 which there are heating pipes. At any 

 rate the soil should be made as fine 

 as possible and an extra effort made 

 to get rid of all weed seeds by working 

 it over several times. Mignonette is a 

 very good crop for a cool house, one 

 where the winter minimum is about 40 

 degrees at night. There must be 

 plenty of light, though, and no lack of 

 water. When you come to transplant 

 mignonette to small pots be sure that 

 they are well soaked. 



Freesias of course need to be 

 started early, as they take consider- 

 able time for maturing.. Paper-whit'' 

 bulbs seem to be in fair quantities, and 

 doubtless will be planted pretty freely 

 this year owing to the shortage of 

 many other bulbs. There are markets 

 in which the Paper-white? do not sell 



very well, and being easy to grow are 

 often a drug on the market in large 

 cities, but for the country florist will 

 make an ideal ilower, being useful for 

 several purposes and being appreci- 

 ated by customers. It isn't necessary 

 to keep the bulbs of Paper-whites in 

 the dark until the tops develop, as 

 with tulips and hyacinths. At the same 

 time it is better to keep them a little 

 darker than is necessary for freesias. 

 Many growers put the bulbs in flats 

 and stack them one above another 

 almost to the ceiling in some secluded 

 corner of the potting shed or some 

 other place on the plant where the 

 light is not strong. Sometimes they 

 are placed in a frame and left out un- 

 til the end of September. They root 

 quickly and grow rapidly so it is easy 

 to have them blooming in November. 

 They force nicely in a temperature 

 from 55 to 60 degrees. 



Watch your primulas to see that 

 they do not become potbound and re- 

 move yellow flowers as fast as they 

 appear. The kinds which require 

 special attention are the strong grow-
