This is a good time to make cut- 

 tings of begonias of the semper 

 florens class in ortier to have four- 

 inch begonias next spring. Most of the 

 Rex and the flowering begonias can 

 be propagated at many seasons, but 

 this seems to be the most convenient 

 time in which to work up a supply. 

 From now on we can rely on steady 

 bottom heat, which is an important 

 factor. There is some difference with 

 certain of the shrubby begonias which 

 furnish the best cuttings in early 

 spring. 



It is important to give the roses a 

 good syringing at least once a week, 

 even though they may be growing 

 freely and seem to be free from dis- 

 ease. Spider is very likely to creep in 

 and do damage it the plants are not 

 watched, and it works so insidiously 

 that it often spreads badly before it is 

 discovered. As all rose growers know, 

 it is a difficult matter to clean out 

 spiders at this season, with the winter 

 months coming on. It is best . to 

 syringe quickly at a high pressure in 

 order to avoid using any more water 

 than is necessary. The less water 

 around the houses at this season the 

 better. Still, it is necessary to get 

 into all the corners and especially 

 around the braces. After you have 

 syringed the benches go over them 

 and shake the plants as much as you 

 can without taking too much time, as 

 this helps to have them dry off well 

 before nightfall. Of course, you will 

 not neglect lime, which is very neces- 

 sary. You will find it necessary to 

 carry a little more air than usual at 

 night after syringing as this will help 

 to dry out the house again. 



How are you fixed for manure? 

 With the .errowlng scarcity it is a good 

 plan to buy it here and there, when- 

 ever the opportunity offers. You can 

 hardly get too much, and if your sup- 

 ply is exhausted too soon it may prove 

 a serious matter for you. It's a fine 

 plan to have a concrete platform with 

 drainage into a manure tank or cis- 

 tern, but if this arrangement is not 

 possible you should be careful to pile 

 the manure in square heaps not too 

 high, and placed where it can be 

 turned readily at intervals. It doesn't 

 do any harm to have a little straw in
