Easter is coming along rapidly and 

 by this time lilies should be showing 

 well advanced buds. The skill of the 

 florist must now be exercised in 

 handling the plants so that they will 

 come at just the right time. It is con- 

 sidered the best plan to grow them 

 at a temperature of from 60 to 65 for 

 a week, then gradually cool them off. 

 Of course if you have a lot of lilies 

 which are backward you will need to 

 push them hard to have them catch 

 up with the rest of the stock. This 

 means not only a high temperature 

 but plenty of water both at the roots 

 as well as frequent syringing. 



Increased interest is being shown in 

 orchids this season in the east, per- 

 haps because of the big New England 

 show being staged this month. Or- 

 chids therefore should sell well in the 

 flower stores. Miltonias will be com- 

 ing along now and should have a place 

 where they can be near the glass but 

 shaded slightly. These orchids need 

 plenty of ventilation and by means of 

 ventilators you can also keep the tem- 

 perature down. Don't forget a light 

 syringing overhead when days are 

 bright' and fumigating once a week 

 lightly to control thrips. Cattleyas 

 that have been newly potted up re- 

 quire careful watering until their 

 roots reach the compost. It is better, 

 all things considered, to under water 

 than to over water. Apply the water 

 in the morning and syringe well so 

 that they will dry off before night 

 comes. A little shade will be needed, 

 but only enough to break the direct 

 rays of the sun. A sponging with 

 Aphine or Imp soap is a great help. 

 About sixty degrees is the right night 

 temperature, with seventy or more 

 when the sun is up.
