HINTS ON WHAT NOT TO DO. 115 



Don't ram the soil too firmly in the pots, but so that the 

 water may pass freely through them. 



Don't put away a tool of any description until it is clean 

 and ready to use another day. 



Don't lend a good tool to anyone. 



Don't fail to read the rules of any society's schedule 

 where you intend to exhibit, for non-compliance with the 

 rules may disqualify you. 



Don't forget to see that your greenhouse is drip proof, 

 or you will rue the havoc rain-drops will make with the 

 flowers. 



Don't forget to recommend this book to all your friends 

 if you are pleased with it yourself. 



TESTIMONIAL.

DEAR SIRS, 



Thinking you would be interested to hear how I succeeded 

 with the packet of Single 'Mum Seed I had from you, I enclose photo 

 of one of the plants. I have had some very fine flowers. I enclose 

 two of the varieties, one the same as in photo and a yellow one, which 

 I think is very good. From the photo you will have some idea of the 

 size of the plant. I put the one in photo up for exhibition at our 

 'Mum Show, and nothing was ever seen like it here. The seed was 

 sown on February pth, 1909 ; have been cutting regularly since the 

 last week in August. Height of plant, 47 inches, and 40 inches 

 through. 



, Yours truly, 



JAS. ANDERSON.
