It is a good plan to make a sowing 

 of Cineraria seeds at this time. You 

 can make another in August and a 

 third about the middle of September, 

 in order to have plants from February 

 on to Easter. 'Seeds germinate readily 

 now. and the young plants are not 

 difficult to handle during the warm 

 weather. Be sure to use fresh seeds. 

 however, and get the best strain you 

 can of Cineraria hybrida. I think you 

 will get the best results from using 

 a soil made of leaf mold well mixed 

 with sharp, clean sand. Put the trays 

 in a cold frame and keep them moist 

 and shaded, but have the sash raised a 

 few inches from the beginning unless 

 the weather turns cold and damp. 

 When the seedlings are up you can 

 put off the sash on rainless nights. 

 After the seedlings have developed 

 their third leaf begin transplanting. 



It is necessary to keep working the 

 carnations regularly in order to have 

 them in good shape for next winter 

 flowering. It is not a difficult matter 

 to handle them if you are fortunate 

 enough to have sandy soil, but when 

 the soil is heavy and full of clay, dif- 

 ficulties are greater, for such soil must 

 be kept stirred continually if the plants 

 are to do their best. You may have 

 to do a little hand weeding close 

 around the plants. It is best to do 

 this while the weeds are small, be- 

 cause after they get large you arfe 

 likely to loosen the carnations when 

 pulling out the roots. Make a par- 

 ticular point of cultivating after ev- 

 ery rain, because a few hours of sun- 

 shine will cause a hard crust to be 

 formed. Every few days go over the 

 field and pinch back wherever neces- 

 sary in order to get short stocky 

 plants. 



During cloudy spells such as have 

 come frequently this season, be care- 

 ful not to overwater the roses, al- 

 though this is not a very great dan- 

 ger if the soil is open and the drain- 

 age is sufficient. On cloudy days 

 when the plants have been watered, it 

 is a good plan to go through the 

 house the last thing at night and blow 

 plenty of air slacked lime around as 

 this helps to dry out the air and to 

 prevent the formation of spot. When 

 you have spotted stock, blow the lime 

 into the air above the walks rather 

 than under the benches, for otherwise
