Keep carefiU watch of all your stock 

 in frames. Otherwise you may lose 

 some of it. This stock will need 

 plenty of ventilation, especially in the 

 morning, before the weather gets 

 warm. In the afternoon, though, it is 

 important to shut clown the frames in 

 time to keep plenty of warm air con- 

 tined in them through the night. When 

 real warm weather comes the frames 

 can be removed altogether. 



If you have any Ericas which were 

 not disposed of this season, you should 

 out them in just enough now to shape 

 them well. Gk)od robust Ericas can be 

 given a pot one size larger, but any 

 specimens which look weak are better 

 re-potted into pots of the same size, 

 as they will then have a better oppor- 

 tunity to recover their wonted vigor. 

 Ericas like a potting soil composed of 

 fibrous peat and loam, with one-third 

 of silver sand. Loosen the baJl of earth 

 with a pointed stick and shake off the 

 outer soil. Then if you find the ball 

 which remains to be dry immerse it in 

 a tub of water for a short time. In 

 potting up the plants avoid getting 

 them into the earth too deep. It's bet- 

 ter to err on the other side if you 

 make any mistake at all. It is im- 

 portant that the soil be well firmed 

 around the roots and the drainage 

 must be perfect. The summer treat- 

 ment consists of sinking the plants 

 out of doore into some loose material 

 like hay or leaves up to their rims. 

 A place which is somewhat sheltered 

 from the hot sun is most desirable. 

 . Regular attention must be given to 

 bedding stock which is being propa- 

 .gated, eithei- from seeds or cuttings. 

 If you have geraniums that were 

 shifted into four-inch pots a few weeks 

 ago they will need spacing. Cannas in 

 flats should be lifted and potted if the 

 work has not been done already. A 

 four-inch pot is large enough. Oala- 

 rtium esculentum will need five-inch 

 pots. When transplanting asters from 

 one flat to another be sure to set them 

 down to the seed leaf and have at 

 'east an inch between them. 



Orchids fixjm no-w on will require 

 shade enough to reduce the tempera- 

 ture and yet without excluding too 

 much light. The Brazilian orchids like 

 an abundance of diffused sunlight, and 

 there is danger of giving too much
