cleaning the orchids if you are grow- 

 ing these plants. Temperature may 

 be lowered a little now. and ventila- 

 tion must be given at all times when 

 possible, because there are few orchids 

 which like a close, stuffy atmosphere. 

 Do your watering early in the morn- 

 ing. Most orchids will stand full sun 

 now, and when the sun is not shining, 

 water must be applied with caution. 



Remember that Mignonette is easily 

 damaged by over watering either in 

 pots or on the benches. 



Give Crotons all the light they can 

 have, as it is a distinct aid in bringing 

 out the coloring. 



Uouvardias which seem to be again 

 growing in favor need to be syringed 

 regularly on all bright days. If the 

 green fly appears in your house of 

 Bouvardias, give several light fumiga- 

 tions until they are overcome. 



As the top and root growth of your 

 callas extends, increase the water sup- 

 ply. Remember that this is a thirsty 

 plant, although it is quite possible for 

 watering to be overdone. 



GLADIOLUS. 



A few gladiolus remain in blossom 

 in our garden. The leaves of many 

 are still green, so it will be a few 

 weeks more before we harvest our 

 bulbs. 



They have done well with us this 

 summer, flowering in many beautiful 

 colors from the deep reds and the 

 purple of the Baron Hulot to the soft 

 shades of buff and salmon in the new 

 primations. Next summer we want 

 two beds of gladiolus, one for our en- 

 joyment in the garden, the other in a 

 propagating bed for seeds. 



We attribute much of the beauty of 

 our gladiolus to the deep planting of 

 our bulbs. We set them the middle of 

 April eight inches in the ground. 

 With this deep planting they needed 

 no stakes, but held themselves erect 

 like a line of soldiers on parade. They 

 began to bloom the middle of July, and 

 now the middle of October there are 

 still a tew flowers in the bed. 



Early in July we transplanted some 

 of the bulbs, as some which we bought 

 had failed to come up. We also then 

 enriched the bed. Our only real dis- 

 appointment was in having some bulbs 

 which had been imported from Sau- 

 mur, France, and sold to us as a soft, 

 silvery blue, blossom a beautiful deep 

 shade of red. It was a fine color but 

 we had other red gladiolus in our gar- 

 den. M. R. Case.
