Primulas for Christmas should he 

 fed now in weak doses once a week. 

 Cow manure and a little soot will give 

 them the dark green foliage one loves 

 to see. Place them on a light, airy 

 bench well up to the glass, go over 

 them often and give a little more 

 s]>are as required. An even tempera- 

 ture of from 48 to 50 degrees at night 

 should be given. The frequency that 

 they will require water can only be de- 

 termined by going over them three or 

 four times a day. Every florist will be 

 very busy getting his differeht crops 

 ready for the holidays, and one of 

 these is primulas. Pot up the small 

 stock now and let it grow on for the 

 mid-winter and spring sales. A rich 

 compost of cow manure, leaf mold and 

 fibrous loam should be used. 



The best carnation plants are those 

 which have eight or ten stocky shoots 

 about six inches long. Remove at 

 once all short shoots with buds at 

 the end. This will give the other 

 shoots at the base a chance to send 

 up long flowering stems. Carnations 

 planted in a few inches of soil indoors 

 can stand more cold than heat, and 

 48 to 50 degrees at night is better than 

 55, while they are getting established. 

 Don't, worry if the plants are slow to 

 send up flowering shoots, as long as 

 they have plenty of strong shoots com- 

 ing from the bottom and are full of 

 good foliage Once every ten days 

 they should have light fumigations. 



The chrysanthemum house should 

 be emptied, cleaned and replanted as 

 soon as possible. Among the desir- 

 able things which might follow the 

 chrysanthemums are sweet peas, snap- 

 dragons, stocks, marguerites, violets, 

 mignonette and pansies. For these 

 crops the soil will not need to be re- 

 moved, hut should be well dug over 

 and some bone meal added. 



Shamrock for the St. Patrick Day 

 trade should be sown now. Every year 

 there Is more call for shamrock. Pre- 

 pare some flats and sow the seed 

 thinly. The seedlings should he potted 

 in small pots when large enough and 

 grown in a cool house. About 45 de- 

 grees at night will be right. 



Allamandas for early flowering 

 should now be kept drier at the roots 

 in order to harden and ripen up their
