If seed of perennials are sown now, 

 they will give plants larse enough to 

 transplant this fall, and to get well es- 

 tablished for standing the winter. It 

 is best to sow the seed in frames 

 which are situated so that water can 

 lie given conveniently. You can u;e 

 any light soil which has been made 

 thoroughly friable, but keep the frames 

 shaded and moist until the seedlings 

 are started. When the seedlings are 

 large enough to handle you can prick 

 them out. but should keep them 

 shaded for a few days until they get 

 started. If deemed desirable, there is 

 no reason why you shouldn't trans- 

 plant tliem to another cold frame anri 

 keep them there during the winter. In 

 this way they will have some protec- 

 tion during the severe weather. 



While cattleyas are making active 

 growth they will need plenty of water 

 at the roots, also a light syringing 

 overliead two or three times a day. It 

 is well to damp the floors and benches 

 at least twice a day so as to give a 

 good humid atmosphere. When cat- 

 tleyas have completed their growth 

 they should be placed at the coolest 

 end of the house, or at least in a posi- 

 tion where they can be given an abund- 

 ance of air. Cut off the water supply 

 until only enough is given to keep the 

 Ijlants from shriveling. Later you can 

 provide more airy, dry and sunny 

 quarters so that they will ripen up 

 their growth well. Very little water 

 is needed at the roots during the rest- 

 in.g period, but a gentle syringing on 

 bright days will tend to keep the 

 growth healthy. Other orchids now 

 finishing their growth should be re- 

 moved to a cooler house that is 

 .slightly shaded in order to prevent a 

 secontJ growth. 



Chrysanthemum plants in the late 

 houses should be kept growing as f;:st 

 us possible. Buds that appear be- 

 tween now and September should be 

 pinched off. and on the appearance of 

 mildew the grower should use sulphide 

 of potassium, half an ounce to a gallon 

 of water, for spraying over and under 

 the leaves. The plants that were 

 benched in May will be the better for 

 feeding now, the best fertilizer being 

 bone meal, with half an inch of well 

 rotted cow manure. The latter will 

 help to keep the beds from drying out 

 and cool the roots. Remember that
