In a rainy season like tlie one we 

 have been having it is especially im- 

 portant to keep the carnation fields 

 cultivated. At the same time it is a 

 mistake to work the soil while it is 

 V et. As soon as it dries out you should 

 KPt busy so that the surface soil will 

 be cultivated in order to prevent the 

 escape of moisture from the ground 

 below. Nobody ventures to say that 

 good cultivation is a succesful substi- 

 tute for the Skinner Irrigation System, 

 but at the same time it does much to 

 keep the roots moist and the plants 

 growing. Pinch back the stems which 

 begin to run up so that when benching 

 time arrives you will have plants 

 which have shoots in all stages of 

 growth. That will mean, of course, a 

 steady crop of blooms next winter. It 

 is really a saving in time and effort to 

 go over the field frequently, as then 

 you can top each shoot just when it is 

 ready instead of being necessary to 

 take off ten day's or two weeks' growth 

 which the plants ought not to have 

 made. 



Be sure that the cyclamen plants do 

 not get hard or pot bound nor crowded 

 at this time. Your work now will have 

 much to do with the condition of the 

 plants when they are ready for the 

 Thanksgiving and Christmas trade. 

 .'Spray the plants every bright day and 

 v.!^e a nicotine preparation at least 

 once a week in order to overcome 

 thrips, aphids and mites It is im- 

 portant to keep the house well venti- 

 lated and the use of movable shades is 

 advocated. They are really a great 

 help in keeping the plants from becom- 

 ing drawn. If you happen to have a 

 greenhouse bench where the plants 

 can be protected from the hot sun, you 

 will find that a good place for them. 

 Perhaps you can plunge the pots in 

 •such a bench. You will find the loca- 

 tion ideal under such circumstances, 

 and the plants will grow as well as In 

 cold frames, although possibly they 

 may not become quite so stocky. For 

 the last potting use soil which is two 

 parts fibrous loam, one part dried cow 

 manure, and one part leaf mold which 

 is not too far decayed. Also add some 

 sharp sand and a little fine charcoal. 

 It is needless to say that good drainage 

 is required when growing cyclamens. 

 This is a good time to put In seed 

 of stocks for next winter's flowering.
