lish and Dutch enthusiasts in the last 

 few years have turned their efforts to 

 the production of newer and better va- 

 rieties, and their endeavors have met 

 with wonderful success. Beautiful 

 shapes and rare colors have been at- 

 tained, and it will not be long before 

 nearly all the varieties which we now 

 use will have to give up their places to 

 the newer ones. 



One fact which applies to hyacinths, 

 tulips and daffodils is that we cut the 

 flowers before they are ripe. If left 

 to ripen they would go to seed, and this 

 would not only take too much strength 

 out of the bulb, but a certain fungus 

 would grow in the plants and would 

 soon spread to the leaves, killing the 

 plants long before the bulbs had at- 

 tained their full growth. 



NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. 



Business has been rather dull during 

 the week. However, there are plenty of 

 flowers in the market and prices in gen- 

 eral are lower. Bulbous stock is of 

 much better quality. 



Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, is send- 

 ing in the best narcissi in the local mar- 

 ket. 



Fred C. Covill reports business as be- 

 ing steady. He had a good week of 

 funeral work. 



The New Bedford Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular meeting February 

 5. An interesting talk on house plants 

 was given by John P. Rooney.

FRENCH HYDBANGEAS. 



Will you kindly give me some infor- 

 mation regarding our French hydran- 

 geas? They are potbound and seem to 

 have stopped growing. Their foliage is 

 dropping. They are in 3-inch pots. 



G. F. C— Tenn. 



You cannot do much with hydrangeas 

 of any kind in 3-inch pots. While you 

 do not say so, I assume that these were 

 propagated last year. In order to get 

 any growth on them the balls should 

 have been loosened and the plants given 

 a shift into 4^4-ineh pots. It may not 

 be too late to do this even now, but you 

 must not expect plants of this size to 

 do much for you in the way of flowers. 

 If you will root some cuttings this 

 month or in March and grow them along 

 carefully, you ought to have plants fit 

 for at least 7-inch pots before fall, and 

 these, if well ripened, will make splen- 

 did stock for another season. 0. W.
