II you have a stock of Miltonias, 

 don't forget that they are very subject 

 10 thrips, which means that they 

 should be dipped or sponged with fir 

 tree oil or aphine every two or three 

 weel^s. Miltonias also require plenty 

 of ventilation at all times during the 

 summer, and should be syringed over- 

 head in bright weather. To get the 

 best results use blinds or lath shades, 

 but if they are not available you can 

 paint the glass, but should take care 

 not to have the shading too dense. K 

 the plants need repotting the work 

 should be done as soon as they are 

 through flowering. Miltonias do well 

 in pans or pots, but of course should 

 have an abundance of drainage. It is 

 not too much to have them half filled 

 with lumpy charcoal or broken crocks. 

 You will get good results by using 

 Osmunda fern fibre mixed with a little 

 live spaghnum moss. After the plants 

 liave been potted up it is well to keep 

 them fairly close for three or four 

 weeks, but after that they will need a 

 cool house all summer. 



Rose planting is now on in good 

 earnest, but no rose grower who is 

 wise will use poor plants, even though 

 he has to run a little short. In pre- 

 paring the benches some of the best 

 rose growers like a minimum depth 

 of soil, but there are differences of 

 opinion in this regard. Those who 

 advocate shallow soil will have only 

 three or four inches of earth on the 

 benches, but this means three or four 

 inches when the soil is well firmed. 

 One thing is certain. It requires less 

 labor and therefore less expense to 

 prepare a bench with shallow soil than 

 to have the bench full. In these times 

 of high priced labor and little labor at 

 any price, time and step saving are 

 worth considering. Moreover, it is 

 the opinion of some expert rose grow- 

 ers that too much soil causes -American 

 Beauties to run blind. This is be- 

 cause the roots have too much ground 

 to work in. Shallow soil is an advan- 

 tage in the winter, allowing the plants 

 to dry out readily, and if more soil is 

 needed in the spring it is easily 

 spread.
