root readily if l;ept sliaded and moist 

 in three or four weeks. When they 

 are rooted, pot them up in any good 

 soil mixture and keep them In a sunny 

 place. Oftentimes they are given field 

 culture with success, although some 

 growers prefer to keep them in the pots. 

 If you put them in the field, plan to 

 lift them by the first of September. 



"The planting out of carnations 

 should be finished as soon as possible 

 this month. Then cultivation sliould 

 be started at once and kept up at least 

 once a week, except in a rainy spell. 

 Even then cultivation should start as 

 soon as the ground is dry enough. 

 Pinching must not be overlooked, even 

 though work is rushing at this season. 



Early chrysanthemums may be plant- 

 ed to advantage uow. Unless the early 

 varieties are gotten in early it is diffi- 

 cult to have them ready when they 

 are wanted, or at least to obtain strong 

 growth. 



There is danger of getting the rose 

 houses too warm at this season. Early 

 banking of the fires and proper ventila- 

 tion are most necessary. The work of 

 replanting should be kept going as 

 rapidly as possible, and in the houses 

 where cutting is going on a liberal ap- 

 plication of water and fertilizer is 

 needed. You will get your flowers to 

 market in best shape if you cut them 

 early and then keep them in the shade 

 until they reach the flower room, 



French hydrangeas are likely to 

 prove almost as popular for Decoration 

 Day as they were for Easter. If you 

 have a stock on hand, keep them well 

 ted with liquid manure. In a short 

 time it will be possible to plunge 

 azaleas, bougainvilleas and forced 

 shrubs outside. 



As soon as the dendrobiums cease 

 flowering you should repot them and 

 give them a good top dressing. They 

 require a compost made of fern fibre 

 and live sphagnum, with a little brok- 

 en charcoal. It is very important that 

 they have good drainage. They are 

 gi-own both in baskets and in pots, but 

 the former seem especially good for 

 such varieties as devonianum, chrysan- 

 thum, Wardiannm and Pierardii 

 superbum.
