THOMAS ROLAND. Naiiaat.MM>. 



An increasing demand tor porch and 

 window boxes has encouraged florists 

 to give greater attention to this sub- 

 ject. Most often the orders are for 

 plants to fill boxes already in place, 

 but sometimes the florist is required 

 to furnish the box as well. In that 

 case he should be sure to have one 

 which is at least ten inches wide and 

 eight inches deep. Any smaller box 

 will dry out too quickly. Naturally 

 customers want to get quicker effects 

 than in the flower garden, which 

 means that they must be given heavy 

 stock. At the same time this stock 

 should be in small pots or the root 

 balls will occupy too much space. 

 Four-inch pots are almost too large 

 If the florist preparing for such a trade 

 should use even smaller pots and make 

 up for it by frequent applications of 

 liquid manure, they would be able to 

 arrange better boxes. There are many 

 plants which can be used, but un- 

 doubtedly geraniums, with trailing 

 vinca; especially the variegated leafed 

 variety, or German ivy, give the great- 

 est satisfaction to a majority of people. 

 They are especially good for formal 

 buildings, but in other cases the Rosy 

 Morn petunia as the basis for the dis- 

 play is rather more attractive unless 

 monotonous. 



Petunias, ageratums, vinca rosea 

 and trailing vinca make a good combi- 

 nation. Other plants which may be 

 used in these boxes where the exposure 

 is sunny include verbenas, lantanas. 

 and Paris daisies. For large buildings 

 where quite a display is required 

 crotons. aspidistras, small palms, 

 dracaenas and screw pines may be 

 used. When it comes to a shady posi- 

 tion it is best to depend upon 

 ferns, dracaenas, asparagus sprengeri. 

 crotons. coleus, and pandanus Veitchii. 

 All this stock must have good attention 

 until they are sold. They must be 

 kept growing and free from green fly. 

 This is a good time to start winter 

 flowering marguerites, for cuttings
