This is a verj' good time to stait 

 working up flowering and ornamental 

 leaved begonias. Good cuttings are 

 made from the new side growth, in- 

 cluding that which comes directly 

 from the base of the plants. Flower- 

 ing begonias root with perfect ease 

 now, and can be handled to best ad- 

 vantage in a shaded house having 

 ventilators which can he adjusted so 

 as to prevent strong air currents. A 

 thin mixture of naphtha and white 

 lead will serve well for shading the 

 house. Keep 'the floors and the 

 benches cool by wetting them down 

 frequently when the weather is warm. 

 ^\^len the cuttings have become rooted 

 they should be potted up into 21/2 or 

 3-inch pots, using loam, leaf mold and 

 sand. Later shifts will require a soil 

 composed of three parts tufty loam 

 and . one part well decayed cow 

 manure, with a little sand and pos- 

 sibly some leaf mold. 



It is now time to plant stevias in 

 the field. Remember that these plants 

 do not need very rich ground. They 

 will do much better in poor soil, for 

 then they will grow into good bushy 

 plants, while too much fertility will 

 give them a rampant, superfluous 

 growth. Allow two feet between the 

 plants and keep them pinched until 

 the last of August when they can be 

 lifted and potted or put into benches. 

 If you have poinsettias that were 

 started early they should be ready 

 now for propagating. Don't leave cut- 

 tings in the sand too long, although 

 this is a common mistake. Use a 

 knife to make the cuttings instead of 

 breaking the wood with the hand, and 

 allow one or two eyes of soft wood to 

 remain on the plants so that you will 

 have more cuttings in another month. 

 Poinsettias are best potted up in stiff 

 loam mixed with about one-third well 

 rotted cow manure. The potting 

 should be done as soon as the roots 

 are formed. And if you keep them 

 covered with glass and without too 

 much ventilation they will grow 

 rapidly. Some florists find themselves 

 lacking suitable bench space for the 

 purpose, in which event they can grow 

 the plants in a cold frame, setting 

 them on a bed of coal ashes.
