CHRISTMAS PLANTS. 

 Now that Christmas is only a few 

 weeks away, let the plant grower 

 get busy. His industry during the 

 demaining days before the holiday 

 season means dollars in pocket. Much 

 depends on his foresight in getting 

 everything ready, according to the 

 Canadian Florist. There are so many 

 odds and ends in the plant line that 

 can be worked into attractive subjects 

 that bring a ready sale. 



Have a goodly supply of such plants 

 as small ferns, variegated grasses, 

 coleus, anthericums, achyranthes, as- 

 paragus plumosus, crevilla robusta, or 

 any other plants that will be attractive 

 when made up. Among other plants 

 also have on hand plenty of three- 

 inch, four-inch and five-inch begonias 

 of the semper florens type, small cher- 

 ries, primulas, etc. This last con- 

 stitutes a few plants that can be used 

 in filling six-inch, seven-inch or eight- 

 inch pans which bring a ready sale. 



Individual plants do not appeal to 

 every Christmas buyer. There is a 

 great demand for table centres at 

 this season, which must have a dash 

 of color. There is hardly a limit to 

 the amount that can be sold at Christ- 

 mas and they are just what many 

 people want. Without doubt there are 

 many customers who buy fine cycla- 

 men, poinsettias or expensive bas- 

 kets, but I think 75 per cent of the 

 buying public want plants from $1.00 

 to $3.00 in price. The suggested in- 

 expensive subjects will meet this busi- 

 ness entirely. 



Of course have variety. No two 

 pans or baskets need be made up alike 

 even if much the same plants are used 

 in each. Vary their positions in each 

 receptacle. Pans of poinsettias should 

 have a few ferns planted among them. 

 Bay three two-inch pteris or Bostons in 

 a six-inch or seven-inch pan. It will 

 not harm the plants to scoop out a 

 little soil and set the ferns. They 

 greatly add to the appearance of the 

 pan and help the sale. 



If your baskets are on hand do not 

 hesitate to fill them immediately, as 

 the plants become established and 

 grow into their places naturally, 

 which greatly aids their appearance by 

 the time they are on sale. Every 

 grower of course knows enough to 

 have plenty of plants, such as cycla- 

 men poinsettias, cherries, Lorraine be- 

 gonias and primula obconicaa. 



Watch the cyclamen closely now for 

 dampness in the crowns. This is the 

 greatest enemy with which the grower 

 has to contend at this time, and will 

 ruin many valuable plants if not at- 

 tended to almost every day.
