U' \uu ha\c iirapagated stock of 

 gardenias early they should be well 

 rooted In 4-inch pots by this time. It 

 is necessary to get the house or bench 

 ready at once, and this means that you 

 must put in a good supply of soil of the 

 kind best adapted for these plants. 

 Gardenias are quite particular as to 

 the kind of soil they grow in, and 

 thrive best wlien they have a compost 

 composed of loam which contains an 

 abundance of fibre. Care should be 

 taken, however, to avoid heavy soil. A 

 good gardenia mixture is made up of 

 fibrous loam, three parts, and well de- 

 cayed cow manure, two parts, with a 

 .sprinkling of bone meal. Be sure that 

 the drainage on the bench is good. 

 Some growers always provide for this 

 by placing a layer of broken crocks on 

 the bottom of the bench. Set the 

 plants about fifteen inches apart each 

 way. and firm the soil well around the 

 ball. When the weather is fair the 

 plants should have a good syringing 

 at least twice a day throughout the 

 .summer. 



Give the Pelargoniums a rest now. 

 The best place for them is outside the 

 house where they will be exposed to 

 full sunshine. Gradually reduce the 

 water supply and by the time the fol- 

 iage has become yellow, the plants can 

 be turned on their sides and allowed to 

 remain for about three weeks, by 

 which time the growth will be well 

 ripened up so that they will be in con- 

 dition to break again. 



When the Cattleyas, including 

 Mossiae. Mendelii and Warnei, are 

 through flowering they should be re- 

 potted if necessary, using Osmunda 

 fibre and sphagnum moss, always pro- 

 viding for plentiful drainage. Remem- 

 ber that these orchids like heat but 

 dislike direct sunlight. They need 

 moisture, too. In fact, they must never 

 be allowed to suffer for lack of water. 

 Give additional air from now on in 

 the Cattleya house. This will mean, 

 of course, that the house will dry out 

 more and more and you will have to 

 take pains to frequently dampen the 

 walks. Syringing should be done over- 

 head at least once a day. When a spell 

 of damp weather comes on it will be 

 necessary to keep a little fire heat. 



Do not delay rose planting any long- 

 er than is necessary. With the kind of
