You should get your Giganteum 

 lilies potted up as soon as possible. 

 Give them a rich compost and use 

 either six or seven inch pots. After 

 they have been potted, the best place 

 for them is a cold frame, with the 

 pots covered six inches deep with 

 soil. If a period of heavy weather 

 comes on, cover the frames so that 

 the bulbs will not get too much water. 

 By the middle of December they 

 should have made roots enough so 

 that they can be brought in and placed 

 on a bench, with a night temperature 

 of about 50 degrees. The bulbs can 

 be potted any time during October, and 

 will come through all right, but the 

 earlier they get in the pots the better. 

 In any event, make up your compost 

 right away and get it under cover. 

 It's important to look over the car- 

 nation beds every day and give water 

 whenever there is any sign of dryness. 

 Have plenty of ventilation even at 

 night. It will soon be time to think 

 of supports for the carnations and 

 oftentimes there is a little lull at this 

 season, which gives you a chance to 

 get some of them set up. 



Do not allow the Miltonias to be- 

 come dry during their growing sea- 

 son. For that matter, they should not 

 remain dry for any length of time, 

 even when at rest. They need syring- 

 ing regularly, because Miltotfias are 

 often preyed upon by thrip, and there 

 is no better way to get rid of these 

 pests. The best way to grow Miltonia 

 flavescens and spectabilis is in bas- 

 kets or pans suspended from the roof. 

 Have a constant circulation of top and 

 bottom air, if possible. A winteij 

 temperature of 55 to 60 degrees seems 

 to suit these plants, and there is no 

 reason why they shouldn't be more 

 widely known, being exceedingly 

 valuable for decorative purposes. 

 Miltonia Candida and cuneata do well 

 in pots or pans, if the drainage is 

 good. Give them a compost of rough 

 chopped sphagnum moss and fibrous 

 peat. Several pieces of broken char- 

 coal mixed with the compost will be 

 of benefit. Give enough water so that 

 the roots will keep moist. 



When tying up the roses, see that 

 the plants are not bunched too much. 

 This is an important matter at this 

 season, for too close tying will make
