With such a cold spring as we have 

 been having it is a mistake to get the 

 asters out too soon. With the raw, 

 cold winds that often characterize this 

 season, little plants are in danger of 

 being blighted or stunted. While it 

 is perfectly safe to set out plants that 

 are in pots or those which have been 

 transplanted on a sunny day, a cloudy 

 although warm day should be chosen 

 for setting out those which come di- 

 rectly from the seed bed. Many au- 

 thorities agree that the finest asters 

 are raised on light sandy soils but 

 those which have been heavily fertil- 

 ized the previous season. There is no 

 better way to get the land prepared 

 for asters than to manure it and plow 

 it deeply the fall before. If extra fer- 

 tilizer is needed it may be given in 

 the form of bone meal or wood ashes 

 well worked into the soil. 



Rambler roses designed tor .Memori- 

 al Day should be forced sufficiently to 

 have the flowers out four or five days 

 ahead. Then they can be moved into 

 cooler quarters to harden them up, 

 often a decided advantage. Roses 

 which have been held back for Memo- 

 rial Day trade should be brought into 

 heat by the middle of the month, giv- 

 ing them from 60 to 65 degrees at 

 night. On clear days they should have 

 a good syringing in the morning so 

 that the foliage will be thoroughly 

 dampened. Of course they must be 

 well watered at the roots, too. When 

 the buds are seen to be breaking it 

 is best to lower the temperature to 

 58 at night, keeping it there until the 

 flower buds appear. When the buds 

 are well developed weekly applica- 

 tions of manure water will help to 

 push them along. It is a common mis- 

 take to have the plants standing too 

 close together. The wise grower takes 

 every precaution to avoid mildew and 

 keep the green fly in check, which 

 means regular attention to fumigat- 

 ing and ventilation. 



.Many growers and florists find a 

 sale for hardy plants, especially climb- 

 ers, late in the spring. There are al- 

 ways customers, for e.xample, for 

 ."^mpelopsis Veitchii, Clematis pani- 

 culata. Clematis Jackmanni, Honey-
