temperature of 60 degrees at night. 

 Although Bouvardias may not be as 

 ix)pular as they once were, they are 

 still good sellers, and every florist 

 needs them. 



If you are handling seedling primul- 

 as, ealcpolarias. and cinerarias keep 

 them cool and give them plenty of 

 ventilation. Rememher that all plants 

 which have been lifted from out doors 

 and potted up must be kept well 

 sprayed and given light shade until 

 they are reestablished indoors. 

 Crinums and other bulbous stock 

 should have finished their growth be- 

 fore they are lifted. This serves to 

 keep them dormant much longer in 

 the spring. 



It is time to prick out pansies, violas, 

 double daisies, myosotis and similar 

 plants for spring sales. Be sure that 

 the geraniums have plenty of ventila- 

 tion and all the sunlight they can get. 

 Water them only when they show 

 signs of drying out. This is a good 

 time to lift. diviJe and replant almost 

 all kinds of hardy perennials. 



Orchids lequire less shade now that 

 the days are getting cooler and need 

 as much light as they can get. By 

 the middle of October such orchids 

 as Cattleyas, Laelias, Odontoglossoms. 

 Dendrobiums and Miltonias can stand 

 full sun. They must have plenty of 

 ventilation, iliough. and you should be 

 careful to change the air at least once 

 a day. Be eery careful about water- 

 ing orchids now that dark rainy days 

 are common. Whatever watering is 

 needed should be done early in the 

 morning so that the plants will have 

 a chance to dry out before night. Dis- 

 continue overhead syringing but grad- 

 ually, and when syringing is done let 

 it be on bright days in the morning. 

 Use only a fine, misty spray.
