good soaking in water and that the 

 earth is liept moist. A cold frame 

 where the bulbs can be covered with 

 six inches of soil is a good place for 

 them, and after the weather gets very 

 cold, j'ou will need long manure or 

 hay to prevent freezing. 



This promises to be a fine season 

 for Paper-white Narcissi, but they must 

 have plenty of time to develop good 

 roots before they are forced. When 

 the root system is well established, 

 they need from seven to eight weeks 

 to reach blooming, at a night temper- 

 ature from 50 to 58. They will need 

 plenty of water when they have made 

 root growth, and the only way to have 

 flowers with substance and good stems 

 is to give abundant ventilation. 

 Syringe until the flowers begin to 

 open, but then stop. 



Do not wait until the green fly and 

 other pests appear in your rose houses 

 before you start to fumigate and spray. 

 The work should be begun promptly. 

 It is far better to use a weak spray 

 often than a strong one occasionally, 

 for strong sprays are pretty certain 

 to do damage, even though it may not 

 show up at once. Fumigate if you 

 can the night before syringing. The 

 advantage of this is that if any flies 

 are left alive in the morning, they will 

 be in a weak state and the stream of 

 water will easily dislodge them. Be 

 careful not to smoke or spray when 

 the plants are dry for then there is 

 much danger of burning. It is not 

 advisable to use tobacco stems for 

 burning from now on, but in houses 

 that dry out well it is a good plan to 

 apply some of the tobacco stems to 

 the benches, scattering them well so 

 that they will not be very thick. The 

 tobacco stems serve a douple purpose. 

 They keep down the insects and also 

 provide fertilizer. 



Be sure that you have enough sand 

 on hand to use for propagating during 

 the coming season. On large estab- 

 lishments this propagating begins 

 early, but it is not advisable to put 

 the sand into the propagating houses 

 until it is to be used because there is 

 danger of its acquiring unwelcome 

 visitors which will not be good for the 

 cuttings when they are finally put in. 

 It is far better to keep the sand in a 

 clean shed until it is wanted, and 

 then when it is put onto the benches, 

 to put in the cuttings as soon as the 

 sand is warm enough.
