You will need heat for the sweet 

 peas from now on, but be sure that 

 the plants have full ventilation. When 

 ventilating, though, you must avoid 

 cold draughts, which are likely to 

 cause mildew. Flowering peas re- 

 quire a night temperature of about 50 

 degrees, with perhaps 48 as winter 

 comes on. Sweet peas which were 

 planted at the end of July will be 

 flowering shortly. It is too early, of 

 course, to have a very strong market, 

 as chrysanthemums have the call now, 

 but there are always some customers 

 who want them. It's a good plan to 

 go over the benches carefully before 

 watering, and when the peas need 

 water give it bountifully, but don't 

 water them at all unless they really 

 need it. Over watering is a not In- 

 frequent cause of disaster. Syringe 

 on all good days early in the morning 

 to keep down the red spider. 



Carnations thrive with a night tem- 

 perature of 48 to 50, but the day tem- 

 perature must be governed by the 

 weather. It shouldn't rise above 60 

 degrees on cloudy days, or 72 when 

 the sun shines. You may get a few 

 extra flowers by running the temper- 

 ature higher, and in the end nothing 

 will be gained. When the carnations 

 are showing buds in plenty, give them 

 a light top dressing. It's wise to go 

 over the benches every day looking 

 for dry places, and giving water freely. 

 Liquid manure can be used advantage- 

 ously once a week, or if you prefer a 

 top dressing from time to time, use 

 dry blood or sheep manure or shredded 

 cattle manure. 



.\s violets are air loving plants, they 

 must have plenty of ventilation. At 

 this time of year the overhead spray- 

 ing should not be very heavy, and 

 should be done only during the fore- 

 noon. Damp down the houses and 

 wet the walks only on sunny days. 

 Success with violets can be achieved 

 only if the plants are kept clean. Go 

 over every crown to be sure that no 

 insect or black spot are carried 

 through the house. Aphis often gets 

 established before it is discovered If 

 the man in charge is at all neglectful. 

 Remember that while violets like to 

 he moist at the roots, they will not en- 

 dure soil which is soaked all the time.
