ator will be able to distinguish these 

 plants from the others. 



Asparagus and sniilax must be well 

 fed now, as they should have a good 

 supply of roots, and with'good feeding 

 they will grow very rapidly. Remem- 

 ber that you can get much better 

 growth with these greens while the 

 days are long, with plenty of sunshine, 

 If you happen to have a little chicken 

 manure, use it regularly but sparingly. 

 Without it you will do well to apply 

 a little nitrate of soda. Use these fer- 

 tilizers about every two weeks. 



There will be no falling oft with the 

 demand for tulip bulbs this season. It 

 is evident that the growers are plan- 

 ning for a big sale in spite of the 

 probable high prices. In potting up 

 tulip bulbs use a light but moderately 

 rich compost, say two-thirds loam, one- 

 third old manure, with the addition of 

 a little leaf mold and some sharp sand. 

 If you can make it up beforehand and 

 have it well mixed, so much the better. 

 Do not add commercial fertilizers of 

 any kind to the soil, as you will do 

 more damage than good. After plant- 

 ing the bulbs, water them thoroughly 

 and place them outside under five or 

 six inches of soil where they can stay 

 until needed. 



There is likely to be much warm, 

 humid weather before- the end of Sep- 

 tember, and for that reason the Cat- 

 tleyas should not be given too dense 

 shade. It's a great advantage to have 

 rollers or other movable shades for 

 orchid houses because then the plants 

 can be given a maximum of light when 

 it is needed most. Do the watering in 

 the morning, and give it most liberally 

 to C. labiata, Trianae, Mossiae, Per- 

 civaliana. Such plants as C. Gaskelli- 

 ana, Dowiana and others just starting 

 into growth will need less moisture. 

 The Cattleyas are improved by a spray- 

 ing every clear afternoon, but early 

 enough so that they will dry before 

 nightfall. Run your Cattleya houses 

 from 50 to 65 degrees at night, but 

 leave some air on no matter what the 

 outside temperature may be. 



Your freesia bulbs will need to be 

 kept well up to the glass and have the 

 soil moist, although never too wet. You 

 will need supports to keep them up- 

 right. Plants which are several inches 

 high should be moved into a sunny 

 house in order to get them into flower 

 as early as possible. Oftentimes a 

 house can be used in which there are 

 shelves where the freesias can be 

 grown.
