II UT ICULTUKE 



34' 



Hunt during the winter and spring. 



Roman hyacinths should be allowed 

 six weeks to come into flower and 

 should have full light. They should 

 be given sixty degrees at night. 

 Paper-white narcissi should be brought 

 in early and given more time to de- 

 velop slowly in a light, sunny, cool 

 house. Plants which seem a little for- 

 ward may be kept at a standstill if 

 given enough shade to exclude the sun 

 and a temperature of forty degrees. 

 Roman hyacinths may be kept hack in 

 the same way, although a higher tem- 

 perature may be given them without 

 harm. If paper-whites are brought 

 into a warm house, they may grow all 

 to leaves. Early in November bring in 

 the flats and put them on the bench in 

 the full light, in a house where it is 

 about fifty degrees at night. 



Now is a good time to start propa- 

 gation of Begonias Lorraine and Cin- 

 cinnati. Next year's stock must be 

 obtained from early struck leaf cut- 

 tings. A good start and healthy root 

 formation may be insured by a steady 

 heat of seventy degrees in the sand 

 with a few degrees overhead, a some- 

 what close and humid atmosphere, fre- 

 quent sprinkling, and the exclusion of 

 the bright sunshine by portable 

 shades. Leaves which are well ma- 

 tured and of a healthy spotless green, 

 are taken from the most vigorous 

 plants in such a manner as to cause no 

 disfigurement. The stubby end of the 

 leaf should be cut away, which is all 

 the trimming needed. Insert this 

 lower end of the leaf in the sand so as 

 to just bring the base in close con- 

 tact with the surface of the sand bed. 

 There is no doubt as to the superiority 

 .of early started plants from leaf cut- 

 tings over those propagated later by 

 rooting side shoots in the usual way, 

 though the latter have their uses and 

 are probably as useful as anything ex- 

 pressly raised for a holiday trade. 



SALEM, MASS. 



Conant the Florist has a very inter- 

 esting establishment, with about 7.000 

 feet of glass attached to the store. He 

 grows much of his own material. 



W. T. Walke of the Loring Ave. Con- 

 servatories has one house filled with 

 cyclamens and they make a fine show- 

 ing. He is also growing "mums'' for 

 market and has some fine looking 

 stock. 



The Harmony Grove Greenhouse, 

 Geo. W. Creesy, Superintendent, has 

 an establishment which is in the pink 

 of condition. Indeed, a neater estab- 

 lishment is seldom seen. Mr. Creesy 

 recently returned from the convention 

 of Cemetery superintendents at Cin- 

 cinnati
