168 Gardening Under Glass 



Start annuals for cutting under glass. Very 

 often there is a bad lapse between the last of 

 the good indoor flowers and the first of the gar- 

 den outside. To bridge this gap start now a 

 good supply of Asters, Clarkia, etc. 



Bring in hard-wooded plants. Lilacs, Hardy 

 Azaleas, Clematis, Laurels, and other plants set 

 in pots, or which have been stored for forcing, 

 may be brought in now — a few at a time to give 

 a continuous supply. 



Start a new crop of Sweet-peas for late spring 

 flowering to keep up the supply until the first 

 blooms are ready out of doors. Use a green- 

 house variety. 



Start into active growth stock plants and 

 greenhouse plants to make material for cutting. 

 Old plants of Geraniums, Begonias, Heliotropes, 

 etc., cut back quite severely now, re-potted and 

 given a little more water, will "break" to new 

 growth, making ideal material for cutting a few 

 weeks hence. 



Keep fall-rooted cutting coming on without a 

 check. Young plants started last fall, if they are 

 allowed to get pot-bound now, will be severely 

 injured. It is not desirable to force the growth 

 during the winter months but they must be given 

 enough water and shifted frequently enough so 

 that they will keep growing. Dry off and rest
