If you are growing Liliuni siiecio- 

 suni and longifloriim for suniiuer flow- 

 ering, give them a liouse without much 

 shade, and be sure that at all times 

 they have all the air they need. Jc is 

 important to examine the pots two or 

 three times a day in order that they 

 may not lack for water, and when flow- 

 ers begin to open the pollen must be 

 removed before it discolors the pet- 

 als. Green fly often does much dam- 

 age in lily houses, and can be kept in 

 subjection only by constant fumiga- 

 tion. On bright days until the flowers 

 begin to open they should be well 

 syringed. Probably some of the tall 

 lilies will require staking. When the 

 lilies are pretty well out, they can be 

 shifted to a cool cellar. Now that the 

 weather is warm the lilies may be ex- 

 pected to open rapidly and will require 

 close attention. 



This is an excellent time to buy 

 small plants of vinca and English ivy. 

 getting .stock in 2 and 2V2-inch pots 

 and planting them out in the fields. 

 Put them about a foot apart in the 

 rows, and have two feet between the 

 rows. Cultivation must be kept up, of 

 course, all summer, in order to have 

 good stock by fall, but they are not 

 hard to handle except for hoeing. In 

 September you can lift the plants and 

 put them into 4-inch pots in a cool 

 house. Many florists find a carnation 

 bench a good place for them, allowing 

 them to droop over. 



Keep your sweet peas well culti- 

 vated, with a regular watering once 

 or twice a week. This watering is of 

 special importance when the weather 

 is at all dry. If you want to force 

 them along a little, use a little nitrate 

 of soda and wood ashes between the 

 rows just before applying the water. 



You may find it necessary to do 

 some more whitening on the palm 

 houses, as the rain usually washes off 

 much of the shading during the 

 spring months. This is an important 

 matter because with the coming of 

 warmer weather many palms are 

 easily scorched. When you go over 

 the old stock washing both sides of the 

 leaves, remove every defective leaf as 

 you come to it. If you don't use too 

 much pressure, an overhead hosing on
