clear days may be given to advantage. 

 In this way you can keep the foliage 

 free from dust and also prevent the 

 spreading of scale. Remember that 

 the palms need plenty of moisture, and 

 an abundance of air, now that the days 

 are warm. 15y the end of the month 

 the work of repotting large palms will 

 be completed. When larger iwts are 

 not required, it Is still a good plan to 

 remove some of the old soil from the 

 roots, replacing it with fresh earth. 

 Fibrous loam, three parts well rotted 

 cow manure, one part, with a 5-inch pot 

 of bone meal to a barrow load, makes 

 a good compost for palms. 



Many florists find it a good plan to 

 plant some of their side benches with 

 3% or 4inch stock of Boston ferns. In 

 fact, the smaller sizes may be used to 

 about as good advantage. Give a foot 

 of space between the plants and shade 

 the glass a little. Other growera 

 plant out the ferns in frames, and this 

 plan is not to be overlooked, although 

 quicker results are obtained by bench 

 culture indoors. Remember that the 

 small ferns should never be allowed 

 to get dry at the roots, for the effect 

 will soon show on the foliage. You 

 will need to give them a good syring- 

 ing morning and afternoon, and shift 

 them as fast as they need attention 

 until you have them in from 5 to 7-incli 

 jiots. 



This is a good time to make a com- 

 post heap, and it pays every grower to 

 have an abundance of compost always 

 ready. Never handle the soil when it 

 is wet, however. This mistake is often 

 made, but the results are bad. Have 

 a dry place for the soil pile and have 

 enough to last until fall.
