CHRYSANTHEMUM TIME 



be collected, but it ought to be stored in a dry shed at Nov. 

 this time of year until enough has been collected to form 16-30 

 a heap, when it may be shaken up to hasten fermenta- 

 tion, turned two or three times, and finally pressed down 

 in a bed. The spawn can be put in when the heat has 

 declined to 85°. Afterwards the bed must be covered 

 with an inch of moist soil and a foot thick coating of 

 straw. 



Radishes and Turnips. — Roots can be protected 

 against the effects of hard weather by drawing a little 

 soil over them. 



The Garden in November— A Resume Nov. 



The month is important as witnessing the flowering Resume 

 and propagation of Chrysanthemums, and the planting 

 of bulbs, fruit trees, Roses, and trees and shrubs. 



Arum Lilies, Bouvardias, and bulbs that are wished 

 to flower early may be given a temperature of 50° to 60°. 



Bulbs of all kinds may be put into beds, pots, vases 

 and glasses. Biennials and Perennials may be planted. 

 Carnations in frames should be examined periodically, 

 and leaves affected with spot picked off. Tree and 

 American Carnations will bloom in a house with a tem- 

 perature of 50° to 60°. Azaleas and Camellias should be 

 watered with care, and kept cool, to prevent the buds 

 falling. 



Chrysanthemums should be watered early in the day, 

 and a dry air maintained by warming the pipes and ven- 

 tilating. Suckers may be inserted in pots for next year's 

 plants. 



Fuchsias may be dried off and old Zonal Geraniums 

 from beds pruned and stored. Zonals for winter flower- 

 ing will bloom in a temperature of 50° to 60°. Ferns
