Be sure that the sweet peas are 

 kept well cultivated, and be especially 

 careful to go through them the day 

 after watering. This watering should 

 lie thorough and take place once or 

 twice a week. When warmer weather 

 comes it will be a good plan to mulch 

 them so as to keep the soil cool and 

 retain the moisture. Even mulched 

 sweet peas will need plenty of water 

 at the roots if dry weather comes on, 

 for otherwise their growth will be 

 checked. If they are not growing 

 quite as fast as you think they should, 

 apply a little nitrate of soda or wood 

 ashes before watering. 



Make sure that the lilies under glass 

 do not suffer from lack of water, 

 which means that you will have to ex- 

 amine the pots two or three times a 

 day. Do not forget to give the plants 

 an abundance of ventilation. When 

 the flowers begin to open, go over 

 them and remove the pollen, for other- 

 wise the petals will be discolored. 

 Probably some of the tallest kinds will 

 need staking. Keep all the plants well 

 syringed until the flowers begin to 

 open. If you are growing Lilium spe- 

 ciosum and grandiflorum for summer 

 flowering, they should not have over- 

 much shade until the buds begin to 

 open. Then some shade wilf be an 

 advantage. Above all, watch out for 

 the green fly, because this pest does 

 much damage, once it gets a start in 

 the house. Proper ventilation is the 

 way to keep it in check. 



With the renewed interest which is 

 being shown in gardenias, growers are 

 giving more attention to these plants. 

 You will find it advisable after remov- 

 ing the plants and old soil in the 

 houses to very carefully wash the 

 benches afterwards, giving them a 

 heavy coating of hot lime. A good 

 compost for gardenias consists of 

 three parts fibrous loam, with one 

 part well rotted cow manure and some 

 clean sand. The more fibrous the 

 loam is the better. Set the plants 15 

 or 16 inches apart, which will mean 

 three rows on a .36incli bench. The 

 whole bench should be soaked after 

 the plants have been put in, but after 

 that it is only necessary to water the 

 balls of the plants as needed, but be
