It you have early planted rose 

 houses where the plants have attained 

 considerable size, make a point of 

 using a little lime every night when 

 the plants are syringed in the day time. 

 If this point is overlooked the plants 

 will be likely to suffer under the 

 leaves as a result of the moist air, 

 causing mildew or spot to deveslop. 

 Make a special point of using a little 

 lime at night after a thunderstonn in 

 the afternoon, and always use lime in 

 old leaky houses, following a shower. 

 It is true that some growers claim that 

 lime should not be used except for 

 American Beauties, but others of long 

 experience find it best for all roses. 

 In any event, it doesn't cost much to 

 apply, and some benefit is likeily to 

 result. Plants that are not well 

 rooted should not he fed with liquid 

 manure yet, but In houses where the 

 roses have been grown for summer 

 blooming. liberal doses of liquid 

 manure can be given to distinct ad- 

 vantage. It is not advisable, however, 

 to mix any strong chemicals with it, 

 using only an abundance of cow 

 manure. The addition of nitrate of 

 soda and the like often causes the 

 plants to get a little soft. Moreover, 

 it tends to invite mildew. You will be 

 safe, however, In adding a little bone 

 meal to the manure. 



Many florists have added to their 

 store of shekels this year by a pros- 

 perous window box business, although 

 this business may be developed to a 

 greater extent than it has been as yet. 

 Probably the most extensive job of 

 the kind in Boston is that on Filene's 

 store. This work has been in the 

 hands of Mr. John D. Twombley, of 

 Winchester, for the past ten or eleven 

 years, and includes not only filling the 

 boxes but also keeping them watered 

 and renewed throughout the summer. 

 The boxes used weigh when filled thir- 

 ty tons. Various plants are placed in 

 them, including English ivy, scarlet 

 geraniums, pansies, cannas and rhoao- 

 dendrons. The boxes themselves are 

 made of galvanized iron to meet Mr 

 Twombley's specifications. They are 

 made two inches high in front and ten 

 inches in back, which gives a nice 

 sloping appearance to the boxes. This 

 is a distinct advantage when tlie boxes
