Fruiii now on tliu bencUe.s will not 

 dry out as ea-sily as they have during 

 tlie summer, and it will be necessary 

 to wTiter them in spots when the rest 

 of the house is wet enough. Elspecial- 

 ly watch the front of the benches for 

 if they are allowed to get too dry 

 the roses will be checked in their 

 growth. When watering, be careful 

 not to use too much pressure so as to 

 wash the surface or injure the plants. 

 Of course it takes more time to use a 

 slow stream, but the end justifies 

 doing so. Sometimes poorly advised 

 employes flood the benches. This is 

 very bad practice, washing out much 

 plant food. At the same time enougli 

 water must be given so that the soil 

 will be wet thoroughly and evenly all 

 through. Make sure that your benches 

 have no dry spots when the watering 

 has been completed. See also that they 

 are mulched, for when the earth is ex- 

 posed the roots do not make nearly as 

 good growth. 



Box or pot up the Dutch bulbs as 

 soon as they arrive. They cost too 

 much to leave them lying around for 

 even a few days. When the work has 

 been completed, give them as much 

 water as the soil will take up. This 

 has the effect of plumping up the 

 bulbs, and putting them in the right 

 condition to make a good start. Then 

 store them away in a coldframe, or 

 if yoii have one, a bulb cellar, and 

 keep them dark and moist until 

 they have made a good, strong root 

 grov/th. You ought to have a good 

 compost when potting up the bulbs, 

 one consisting of, say three parts 

 good loam and one part of dry cow 

 manure, with some sharp sand added 

 Oftputimes a compost from the carna- 

 tion or rose house, with a little fresh 

 loam and old manure added will serve 

 very well. 



Bouvardias can be lifted before 

 hard frost and stored in flats of soil 

 for stock. If desired, however, they 

 can be planted instead in a bench in 

 a warm house to give a crop in Febru- 

 ar>' and March. They are not hard t" 

 lift if you take a little ball of damp 

 earth with them, but they are sure to 

 wilt badly, and be slow in recovering, 

 if the earth is shaken oft. After the 

 plants have been lifted, give them 

 shade for a few days. They like a
