WALLFLOWEES UNDEE GLASS. 



Please give me brief directions for 

 the culture of Cheiranthus Cheiri, or 

 wallflower, in the greenhouse. 



M. B.— N. T. 



The wall flower, or Cheiranthus 

 Cheiri, is one of the many spring-flow- 

 ering border plants that may be han- 

 dled profitably in the greenhouse. The 

 double forms are best for greenhouse 

 culture. Although a perennial, it is 

 best treated as a biennial. For winter- 

 flowering, deeds should be sown in July

Half Iron Frame Talk No. 3 

 Cement 



^UR last talk, you 

 ^^ remember, was about 

 board sides. Now for a 

 chat about cement ones. 



Of course, we both ad- 

 mit that in the end, ce- 

 ment sides will cost you 

 a good bit less than wooden 

 ones. Once up, they are 

 up to stay and you can I 

 forget about them for the I 

 rest of your life. 



From the illustration, 

 you see how the wrought 

 1^ iron post is thoroughly 

 embedded in the concrete. 

 The sill can be of wood or 

 cast iron; but it does not 

 seem quite the thing to 

 build a wall that will last 

 for a lifetime and then 

 put a wood sill ori top of 

 it, that sooner or later is 

 bound to rot out. 



However, that's up to 

 you— we will gladly sell 

 you either. 



Now let your eye slide 



up to that eave plate. 



Notice the rugged strength 



of that fitting (one on 



! jl each side of the post) that 



i| secures the eave plate to 



j the post. 



Notice the drip gutter 



and the pipe that leads 



off all the condensation, 



and spills it on the wall 



H where it will do no harm. 



But before you entirely 

 make up your mind to 

 have one of our Half Iron 

 Frame houses, let us take 

 a careful look at our Full 

 Iron Frame. It's shown 

 in our Supply Book. Send 

 for it.

in shallow pans or boxes filled with 

 clean, sandy garden soil, free from ma- 

 nure. As soon as the seeds have ger- 

 minated, which will be in a few days, 

 the seedlings should be given an airy 

 position. If they are in the green- 

 house, keep a somewhat moist atmos- 

 phere. As soon as the plants are large 

 enough to handle, pot into 2-inch or 

 2%-inch pots and keep potting until 

 6-inch or 7-inch pots are required, never 

 allowing the plants to become pot- 

 bound. The soil should be a rich, heavy 

 loam. Wallflowers, like stocks, should 

 be potted quite firmly. 



When the pots are fairly well filled 

 with roots, which should be along in 

 September, they may be given, for a 

 few weeks only, a weekly application 

 of diluted liquid manure. When the 

 cool weather comes, they should be 

 placed in a temperature of 40 to 45 de- 

 grees until about six or eight weeks 



before the required flowering period. 

 The plants, even when not growing 

 vigorously, should never be allowed to 

 become dry, or they will lose their 

 leaves. To bring the plants into flower, 

 place them in a temperature of 50 to 55 

 degrees. Syringe every bright day to 

 keep the foliage in a healthy condition. 

 Fumigating once in three weeks will 

 keep the plants free from aphis.

"SPEAK AND QUIT." 



The customer who uses the free-of- 

 charge store telephone usually takes 

 all the time he or she wants. A re- 

 tailer, who tired of the advantages 

 taken of his willingness to let anyone 

 use his telephone, attached a card to 

 the transmitter, on which was printed 

 the following suggestion: "Brevity is 

 the soul of wit. Speak and quit. Nufl 

 sed." F. E. B.
