202 GARDENING INDOORS AND UNDER GLASS 
Spring stock of some plants, such as geraniums, 
are rooted in the fall— September to November. 
Others, which make a quick growth, such as pe- 
tunias, not until early in the spring,—last of Jan- 
uary to April, but for the most part in February. 
In the former case, cuttings are taken just before 
frost from outside plants, or later from stock plants 
lifted and taken indoors; in the latter case, stock 
plants are taken in and carried through the winter 
in a more or less dormant or resting condition; 
being kept rather dry and started into active growth 
in January. The new growth furnishes material 
for cuttings, which are grown on as rapidly as pos- 
sible. 
The following plants are treated in one of the 
above ways; further details in any case may be 
found in the first part of the book: 
Alternantheres Heliotrope 
Begonias, fibrous rooted _— Ice Plant 
Coleus Paris Daisy 
Cuphia Petunias 
Geraniums Salvias 
Ivy Geraniums Vincas

BULBOUS BEDDING PLANTS 
The bulbous plants are started directly in pots, or 
in flats and transferred to pots, as described in indi- 
vidual cases in the preceding pages.
