early primulas into the pots as quickly 

 as possible and shade them slightly. 



When the freesias are through flow- 

 ering do not dry them off too quickly, 

 but withhold water gradually until the 

 tops have died down. Then the bulbs 

 can be shaken out and stored away 

 until July or August. It is worth- 

 while giving special attention to these 

 bulbs as the flowers should be in no 

 little demand next season. 



The heavy sale of climbing roses at 

 Easter time will encourage the florists 

 to have a good stock of these plants 

 for next season. They can be started 

 now from dormant plants. 



Why doesn't some grower around 

 Boston who has a range of glass suit- 

 able for the purpose go in for ferns? 

 I don't mean bench-grown stock, but 

 pot-grown; plants that will be market- 

 able from 4, 5%, 6 and 8-inch pots, but 

 above all they must be pot-grown, not 

 that stock that is taken from the 

 benches with long, straggly fronds, 

 then iMtted up and sent to the stores. 

 That stock isn't satisfactory; the store- 

 men know it, but are unable to help 

 themselves, as really good pot-grown 

 ferns are not available around New 

 England, at least not in any quantity. 

 They certainly would bring a price 

 that would pay for handling them, and 

 I believe that the grower who finishes 

 up a lot of ferns of the quality men- 

 tioned is going to be satisfied with re- 

 sults. 



Florists growing Odontoglossums are 

 approaching the most difficult season 

 of the year for these plants, for their 

 native haunts seldom find a tempera- 

 ture running over 65 degrees. The one 

 safe plan is to move them before the 

 nights get very warm to a house which 

 has a northern exposure and where 

 there are shades about twenty Inches 

 above the glass. Shades of this sort 

 will admit air in abundance and yet 

 help to keep the house cool. Odonto- 

 glossums need careful syringing as 

 well as plenty of ventilation. The 

 Crispum section also likes plenty of 

 water at the roots but the Grande sec- 

 tion is better when allowed to dry out 

 occasionally.
