Prompt measures should be taken ta 

 get the carnation houses refilled ami 

 most growers are busily at work at 

 the present time. It pays to take time 

 by the forelock if the houses are to 

 be carried forward in good shape. The 

 Karnation is a plant which responds 

 very quickly to moisture, and seems 

 to give esjiecially good results w-hen it 

 gets its first moisture from fresh soil. 

 It would be preferable, therefore, to 

 have new earth in the benches rather 

 than to apply water. Some good 

 Krowers follow the practice of not dip- 

 ping the roots in water at all. but 

 planlins them just as quickly as they 

 can. It should be noticed, though, that 

 such growers always have their fields 

 close to their houses so that the 

 plants are out of the ground only a 

 short time. It more than six hours 

 must elapse before the plants can be 

 reset, they should invariablly be 

 dipped in water. 



This is the time to sow primroses in 

 order to have them blooming well 

 from February and on until Easter. 

 You can figure this out for yourselves 

 because it usually takes about seven 

 months from the time the seed of 

 primulas is sown until the plants are 

 in flower. Use shallow boxes or seed 

 pans, and fill them tw-o-tlilrds full of 

 light loam, leaf mold and sand. The 

 seed germinates rather slowly so that 

 it is a good plan to soak it for twenty- 

 four hours before planting. One good 

 result of this practice is to secure 

 more even germination than would 

 otherwise result. Also make certain 

 that you have fresh seed. This is of 

 the utmost importance. In about six 

 weeks the young seedlings will be 

 ready for pricking out, and you will 

 find it a good plan to use flat boxes or 

 seed pans for them rather than pots. 

 .\ good soil can be made of one part 

 loiumon loam and two parts peat. By 

 the time the pQants have three or four 

 leaves they will be ready for potting up 

 in small |X)ts which can be done with- 

 out setting them too deeply. Then if 

 the 1 rimulas are placed in a frame 

 where they can have plenty of air. 

 they will make rapid growth.
