As soon as the nights begin to get 

 cool do not delay putting on the steam. 

 If the tliermometer outside goes as low 

 as 50 degrees, the temperature in the 

 houses will go too low for best results 

 with roses. That does not mean that it 

 is necessary to close the ventilators, 

 however. It is better to have plenty 

 of ventilation and enough heat to Ueep 

 the temperature up to G4 at night. It 

 will be especially necessary to have 

 plenty of air during the day. While 

 the grower may hesitate to use high 

 priced coal so early in the season, the 

 results will be shown in the increased 

 vigor of the plants. You can prevent 

 the apjiearance of mildew by using a 

 little sulphur on the pipes every eight 

 or ten feet, but be careful to add a 

 little lime to the sulphur if the press- 

 ure in the pipes exceeds five pounds 

 because the lime will keep the sulphur 

 from vaporizing too rapidly. Other- 

 wise some damage may be done. It is 

 necessary to lie especially careful with 

 the houses from now on because while 

 roses with plenty of tops will take 

 water in abundance, it is very injuri- 

 ous to keep them soaking wet. When 

 the soil dries out enough so that it is 

 merely moist, then is the time to givi 

 the plants another good watering wii!' 

 the water dripping freely through the 

 benches. Avoid using too much press- 

 ure, for in that case you may wash 

 the surface of the soil too badly. When 

 you apply the water gently the soil 

 does not iiack. and is kept open for the 

 entrance of oxygen. This is a fact not 

 always realized by greenhouse growers 

 but when water is applied with great 

 force it produces a film of mud over 

 the soil, and unless the soil is after- 

 wards raked over the roots will suffer 

 from lack of air. Moreover, there is 

 danger of tearing the roots by the 

 force of the water. If you are wateiing 

 old plants that have been cut back and 

 transplanted, it is best to withhold 

 water from those that are not strong, 

 as they will come along very well if 

 kept on the dry side, while over water- 

 ing them will surely cause them to 

 perish quickly. An easy way to mark 

 them when they are growing among 

 tall plants is to scatter a little lime 

 around them on the surface. The lime 

 will show up at once so that the oper-
