If you are growing Ixias don't make 

 the mistake of trying to hurry them 

 along at a high temperature. Probably 

 the number of Ixias being forced is 

 very small this year, but those who 

 have them will undoubtedly make a 

 profit, as they are excellent either for 

 cut flowers or for decorative purposes. 

 The big demand for Cyclamen is 

 bound to make this one of the most 

 valuable of the season's plants. Almost 

 anybody can grow Cyclamen of a sort 

 but it takes experience and skill to turn 

 out first-class specimens. For one 

 thing, the houses need to be kept 

 reasonably moist, which can be accom- 

 plished by dampening down the walks 

 night and morning. Keep the plants 

 near enough to the glass so that they 

 will grow stocky. Avoid overhead 

 watering and apply all water early 

 enough so that the plants will be dry 

 by night time. Fifty to fifty-five de- 

 grees is about right for night tempera- 

 ture. Many growers are crowding 

 Cyclamens a little now because of the 

 demand for space made by mums. For 

 that reason frames may be used a little 

 while longer. Make room for the 

 Cyclamens as soon as the chrysanthe- 

 mums are out. They will repay all the 

 attention you give them this year. 



In growing your Poinsettias try to 

 find the happy medium in watering. 

 There is always danger of using too 

 much water or of allowing them to dry 

 out too much, with the result that the 

 foliage turns yellow. If you have 

 plants that are not developing as they 

 should, give them a night tempera- 

 ture ranging from 65 to 70 degrees. 

 More matured plants should be kept 

 cooler. 



With bulbs at this year's prices they 

 should not be neglected in any way. 

 You may be rushed with Christmas 

 preparations, but find time somehow 

 to get in your Narcissi, Hyacinths and 

 Tulips. You can leave the bulbs out- 

 side for three weeks longer, after 

 which they should be brought in and 

 stored under the bench in a house 

 where the temperature runs 50 to 55 

 degrees. For forcing tulips you need 

 strong top heat with only a mild heat 

 at the roots. Let the temperature run 

 up pretty well but see that the plants 

 are kept moist at the roots. 



You should have a good stock of 

 Mignonette now. Rub off the laterals 

 except three or four strong side shoots 

 on the bottom that will give you a sec- 

 ond crop. Remember that it takes a
