There is still time to start a patch 

 of Marguerites in order to have a 

 supply for spring and early summer, 

 when they sell well as bedding plants, 

 and also to be used as window boxes. 

 At Easter time there is also a good 

 sale for Marguerites. You should try 

 to keep the plants growing slowly 

 enough so that they will not have to 

 endure high forcing, which they re- 

 sent. You can keep them growing 

 along from now on in a temperature 

 of a carnation house. 



If you are handling Cypripediums, 

 sponge them occasionally with a weak 

 solution of nicotine or tobacco water 

 so as to keep off the yellow thrip. A 

 little fumigation about once a week 

 will also help to keep down this pest. 

 Cypripediums must have a house 

 where there is a great deal of ventila- 

 tion, for excess moisture is likely to 

 prove very injurious. Weak liquid 

 manure is a help in making good 

 blooms. Once a week is often enough 

 to apply it, though. These plants like 

 a temperature of 55 to 60. One of 

 the most valuable orchids for the 

 average amateur is Cypripedium in- 

 signe, which comes in bloom right 

 after the chrysanthemum season. It's 

 one of the very good holiday flowers. 

 Customers who are familiar with its 

 good qualities as a cut flower are 

 sure to demand it. This orchid wnll 

 often keep over a month in good con- 

 dition. Remember that your Cypri- 

 pediums will need no shade from 

 now on. Indeed, shading will tend to 

 make them weak. 



Among the Acacias which have 

 been found worthy a place in the 

 florists' plant collection are A. arm- 

 ata, A. cordata, A. grandis, A. hetero- 

 phylla, and A. lineata. Acacias that 

 were trimmed back last spring and 

 have been planted out of doors dur- 

 ing the summer should have made a 

 good growth and be in condition to 

 produce splendid blooms next Easter. 

 They like a temperature of only 40 to 

 45. Indeed, in some seasons it is 

 often necessary to keep them just a 

 little above the freezing point for a 

 time, because with the increasing 

 heat of spring it is hard to hold them 

 back. Remember that they cannot be 

 forced, but do not let them suffer for
