It your winter flowering marguerites 

 have not been started, by all means 

 get in a batch of cuttings right away. 

 There is a never-failing demand for 

 marguerites, especially in the larger 

 cities, and wise florists know that they 

 can grow them at a profit as prices 

 run now. When kept shaded and 

 moist for three or four weeks the cut- 

 tings root readily, and may then be 

 potted up, using any good mixture, 

 and placed in the full sun. Some grow- 

 ers prefer pot culture while others 

 use field culture for marguerites. If 

 they are grown in the field they 

 should be lifted early in September 

 and potted up with a rich compost. 



There is commonly a good demand 

 for lily of the valley in June, particu- 

 larly for weddings, and as weddings 

 promise to be numerous this June it 

 will be a good plan to have plenty of 

 valley on hand. A good way to grow 

 them is in frames where they can be 

 flowered in three or four weeks with 

 a fair amount of bottom heat. This 

 means a good layer of manure, with 

 about six inches of sand over it. One 

 good plan is to divide off the frames 

 by partitions so that several different 

 batches may be planted. They must 

 be kept in the dark until the stalks 

 are half grown when the light may be 

 increased gradually. 



One word of warning is necessary 

 for those doing this work for the first 

 time. There is danger of giving too 

 much heat, with the result that the 

 stalks become leggy. Do not give any 

 overhead watering after the flowers 

 begin to expand, for otherwise they 

 may be spotted, although there is less 

 danger now than in winter. When 

 the flowers are about half out give 

 them more ventilation and light so 

 that they will start hardening up in 

 good shape and at all times keep them 

 moist at the roots. 



It is easy to start allamandas from 

 green wood cuttings, if they are placed 

 on a propagating bench where they 

 can have a little bottom heat, they 

 also may be started in small pots 

 plunged in a cutting bench and kept 

 shaded until they root. The best soil 

 for the pots is equal parts ot sand 

 and leaf mold. Gradually shift to 

 larger pots and add more loam to the
