moved iiilo ;i frame or cool green- 

 house. After final growth has been 

 made give them an abundance ot wat- 

 er, with overhead syringing, and when 

 the flower scapes make their appear- 

 ance, remove an inch of the surface 

 from the pots and give a good top 

 dressing of rich compost. A weekly- 

 application of liquid manure will also 

 be beneficial. You cannot expect to 

 grow good Xerines unless ,vou keep 

 the foliage free from insects by con- 

 stant s.vringing. A. greenhouse with a 

 night temiierature of from 5.5 to GO 

 suits the plants well. 



This is a good time to increase Fi- 

 cus plants by mossing. The operation 

 is simple enough and can be done rap- 

 idly after a little experience. Choose 

 six or eight inches of leafy tops and 

 cut them half way through. Then 

 split the stems possibly half an inch 

 and in an upward direction. A match 

 or tootlipick may then be inserted to 

 keep the wound open. Then bind 

 enough spaghnum moss around the 

 cut so as to form a ball two or three 

 inches in diameter. Keep the moss 

 moist at all times, but have the plants 

 themselves rather on the dry side 

 In six or eight weeks roots will have 

 filled the moss balls, and the upper 

 part of the plants may be cut off and 

 potted up. Keep them in a moist 

 house, but one where there is abund- 

 ant moisture in the atmosphere. This 

 is a good way to make u.se of all the 

 lanky and unsalable plants. 



If you are growing Dracaena indi- 

 visa, remember that the stock needs 

 a fairly close and warm house. Do 

 not let the temperature go below fiO 

 at nisiht. but in .lune you can plant 

 outside all plants which are over a 

 year old. They will make good growth 

 in the open air, and by September 

 can be potted up for next spring's 

 sales. Plants started from seed the 

 first year should be ready now in 3- 

 inch pots. Grow them in a compost 

 of three parts loam and one part well 

 decayed cow manure, with a sprink- 

 ling of sharp sand. These plants 

 should be kept inside during the sum- 

 mer, and given a good syringing every 

 morning.
