This is a good time to buy plants 

 foi- the Christmas trade. You can well 

 afford to stock up with poinsettia.s. 

 cyclamens, primulas, ardisias, ferns, 

 palms, adiantums and screw pines. 

 These are plants for which there is 

 almost certain to be a good call dur- 

 ing the holidays. 



It is also time for planting freesias 

 for early results, and e.xperience has 

 shown that the long, thin bulbs grow 

 faster than the thick, heavy ones. 

 With most florists it is not a matter 

 of having a big output of freesias at 

 any one time, but of having a contin- 

 uous succession. Consequently plant- 

 ing must be done with this thought 

 in mind. Have the rows four inches 

 apart, and space the bulbs an inch 

 apart in the rows. Soon after Septem- 

 ber the bulbs will start into growth 

 quickly, and you should give them full 

 light as soon as the shoots appear 

 above the soil. You will find the bulbs 

 doing well in benches such as are 

 used for carnations and mignonette, 

 with four inches of soil. You must 

 remember that after they get well 

 started they like to be fed liberally. 



If you want to get good, symmetri- 

 cal plants of Begonia Gloire de Lor- 

 raine, you should give them plenty of 

 room. They grow fast now, and must 

 be handled carefully. It is well to tie 

 them up after they get good size. This 

 is best done by placing a stake in the 

 center and using loops of raffia placed 

 loosely around each shoot. If you 

 have any plants that have not had 

 their final shift, do the work at once, 

 but do not keep them too heavily 

 shaded from now on. The plants like 

 a compost made of three parts turt'y 

 loam, two parts of sand, and one part 

 of well rotted cow manure. 



You must be sure to keep your 

 plants of nephrolepis from di-ying out. 

 At the same time you mustn't keep 

 them too wet. Many of the ferns in 

 houses which are well cared for have 

 made a great mass of strong, erect 

 frondage. and this is an excellent time 

 to get them into salable form. Ferns 

 give good results in a compost made 

 of three parts fibrous loam, two parts 

 leaf mold and one part well rotted 

 and sifted cow manure. Be careful 

 about having pots that are well 

 cleaned, and good drainage is imper- 

 ative.
