never be allowed to come into contact 

 with the buds or it may cause them 

 to spot. Moreover the buds should not 

 be laid too close to the end of the box, 

 and there should always be plenty of 

 tissue paper at their heads. They can 

 be made fast by tying them with cord 

 or tape. This is necessary to keep 

 them from sliding around. 



What is said about packing Beauties 

 applies in many ways to other roses, 

 and especially the long stemmed teas 

 which break easily and quickly show 

 bruises. It is a mistake to use waxed 

 paper for lining a box, as it is too 

 slippery. With paper prices as they 

 are now, it is best to make as much use 

 as possible of newspapers, except for 

 a little manilla paper around the flow- 

 er heads. 



The insistent demand for ventilation 

 at this season sometimes leads inex- 

 perienced growers to overlook the dan- 

 ger from cold draughts. This danger 

 exists with many plants, but particur 

 larly with palms like Cocos Weddel- 

 liana. Cold draughts on these plants 

 are most disastrous. The palms like a 

 house having a night temperature from 

 65 to 70, but on sunny days it may 

 run up to 78 or 80. If possible they 

 should have a house to themselves 

 where the air can be kept filled with 

 moisture. They are not the easiest of 

 plants to handle, and unless watered 

 intelligently soon begin to show yellow 

 foliage and stop growing. Once checked 

 it is very hard to get them growing 

 again. 



This is a good time for the florists 

 to get into touch with the nurserymen, 

 for there are few florists so situated 

 that they cannot sell a considerable 

 amount of nursery stock in the spring. 

 They will spend a lot of time perhaps 

 nursing along Moonflowers, Cobaea 

 scandens, and similar plants, while 

 they might just as well sell hardy 

 climbers and make more profit. More- 

 over, what is left can be planted out. 

 The list includes clematis, bittersweet, 

 honeysuckles, and the Akebia vine, 

 which while not well known by the 

 public in general, is an excellent vine 

 and one to be recommended.
