Violfts iDusl be given regular atten- 

 tion, altliDiiRh they do not like artl 

 fii'ial heat, so that the fire should not 

 be started up any earlier than neces- 

 sary, say about tlie middle o( October. 

 Of course you will keep all weeds, 

 runners and spotted foliage removed. 

 Perhaps you have the plants on raised 

 benches, in wliich case do not let rub- 

 bish accumulate underneath them. 

 This is a common practice, but a poor 

 one. Neatness and cleanliness are al- 

 most as important in a violet liouse as 

 careful watering and proper ventila- 

 tion. The ventilators should be kept 

 open as a rule until flre heat is started. 

 Tlie one thing w^hich takes expert 

 treatment is the use of water, for if 

 the plants are deprived of what tliey 

 need, they will not thrive, and they 

 will suffer if the soil is kept saturated. 



Probably you have noticed that the 

 Lorraine begonias are growing very 

 fast now. They always begin to make 

 rapid grow-th as soon as the nights 

 grow cooler. From now on they will 

 need a house where there is fire heat 

 at night, and careful attention must be 

 paid to ventilation. Have your strong- 

 est plants established in six-Inch pots 

 or pans, and stake up the new growth 

 without delay. 



There is much question about the 

 proper feeding of chrysanthemums. 

 Some growers place much faith in 

 commercial fertilizers, while others 

 prefer cow or sheep manure. Of 

 course, the big growers have figured 

 out their formulas carefully, but the 

 small grower can get along very well 

 by using natural fertilizer, at the rate 

 of a bushel to a barrel. .-Mlow it to 

 stand tor a couple of days, after which 

 the water can be drawn off and the 

 barrel filled again. If you prefer to 

 use chemicals, such as nitrate of soda, 

 potash and sulphated ammonia, use 

 any one of them at the rate of a four- 

 inch pot full to a fifty-gallon barrel 

 of water. Be sure that the crystals 

 are all properly dissolved before the 

 liquid is applied. 



If you are preparing manure tor 

 mulching the rose beds, be sure that 

 it is turned over every week, but do 

 not add too much soil yet. In fact, if 

 you can get any good coarse sod, that 

 would be preferable to soil. It is not 

 wise to add bone uveal or any other 

 commercial fertilizer to the manure, 

 for there will be much waste and but 

 little gain. It is even more of a mistake
