"If vain our toil, we ought to blaiiif 

 the culture, not the soil — " 



If you want Antirrhinums for early 

 flowering, that is, for the month of 

 November and December, you should 

 bench the plants about the first week 

 in August. Have them a foot apart 

 each way. providing the stock is grown 

 from cuttings, and pinch back the 

 shoots as they push up to flower, 

 allowing four or five shoots to start 

 from near the ground. The weak, 

 useless growth should be rubbed out, 

 for you will get better results from 

 three or foui' good spikes to a plant 

 than from two or three times that 

 number. You will need to stake the 

 plants to keep them erect, and should 

 also rub off the side growths as they 

 appear on the flowering stems. 



Make a point to get the best sweet 

 pea seed that you can buy. Nothing 

 else will give satisfaction. For early 

 flowers you should put the seed in 

 right away. In case there is no bench 

 space ready, you can sow in four or 

 five-inch pots, setting out the plants 

 in four or five weeks. They will do 

 well in a cold frame where they can 

 have plenty of air. and be convenient 

 for watering and syringing. Keep 

 shaded until they come up, after which 

 they will need full sunlight. They 

 ought to have eight inches of good 

 soil, in any event, but if you can plant 

 them in a solid bed. you will be that 

 much better off. They must have 

 rich compost, whether in beds or 

 benches. It may well consist of 

 fibrous loam, two parts, and well 

 rotted cow manure, one part, with a 

 little bone meal added. Give them 

 supports just as soon as they show 

 signs of climbing. 



Do not neglect your Lorraine be- 

 gonias. They need a place close to 

 the glass, but one which is not too 

 heavily shaded. Shade is most needed 

 during the hottest part of the day. 

 and it is advisable to use a lattice 

 which can be removed between three 

 and four o'clock in the afternoon. Of 

 course they can be left off entirely on 

 cloudy days, and nine o'clock in the 

 morning is early enough to put them 

 on, even on fair days. This sort of 

 treatment gives very stocky plants by 

 fall. Before they become pot-bound 

 they should have a shift, and you can 

 get good results with a compost con-
