edges in the pots. The plants must 

 be headed back hard and kept in a 

 cool house with plenty of light and 

 ventilation until they are high enough 

 for supports. It is most imperative 

 to give a regular syringing as other- 

 wise the red spider is sure to appear. 



Potted stock will need careful watch- 

 ing as the weather gets warmer with 

 the ventilators up as the air dries out 

 quickly. It is often necessary to water 

 the outside row of plants even when 

 those further in are fairly moist. Some 

 gardeners make a practice of first 

 watering the outside rows and then 

 going over the whole bench again, 

 with the result that the outside rows 

 get a double dose of water. Water 

 regularly across the bench, two rows 

 at a time and then two rows back. 

 This is much safer than skipping 

 around. Syringing is also a matter 

 to be done carefully, particularly when 

 roses are in small pots. The operator 

 should use a steady spray from side 

 to side so that none of the plants will 

 be knocked loose in the pots. The work 

 should invariably be done in the morn- 

 ing, as early as possible. This is true 

 of all roses, but applies with special 

 force to American Beauties and other 

 kinds which easily become spotted. 



Occasionally a florist is found who 

 has a good supply of Bleeding Heart, 

 and there is every reason to believe 

 that this plant would sell very well in- 

 deed at Easter time if it were offered 

 freely. There is one point to remem- 

 ber if you want to make a friend of 

 your customer. Be sure to tell him 

 or her to keep water in the saucer 

 under the pot as long as the plant is 

 in bloom, pieeding Heart and florists' 

 Spiraeas are about the only common 

 plants which thrive with this sort of 

 treatment, but they thrive with water 

 at the roots. 



This is the season when the red 

 spider gets busy in the carnation 

 house, but the pest can be kept down 

 pretty well by the free use of water. 

 It is very important to have an abund- 

 ance of ventilation in the carnation 

 house from now on, for otherwise the 

 hard growth required will not be de- 

 veloped.
