houses are far better for these mums 

 than open locations. In the protected 

 places they bloom earlier and are far 

 less liable to suffer from early freezes.

MUMS TO FOIJ.OW OEBANIUMS. 



In the spring of 1917 I expect to 

 erect six sash houses, 10x100, and to 

 use them for geraniums in the spring, 

 followed by mums. The sashes would 

 be removed before planting the mums. 

 There will be five feet of head room. 

 "What varieties would be best suited for 

 such cultivation? We have the best 

 sale for Pacific, Chieftain, Bonnaffon, 

 Seidewitz, Chrysolora, Mistletoe, Nonin, 

 Eager, Jones, Appleton and Marigold. 

 At present I have one house planted to 

 Pacifies. They were planted June 1 

 and are now in full bloom, bearing 

 large flowers, but with only six to seven 

 inches of stem. All the other varieties, 

 planted in range houses, have longer 

 stems. What method should be used in 

 running the new houses!

Ulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllg 



If the varieties mentioned in the in- 

 quiry have been found satisfactory, 

 why not plant them again another 

 year! Two excellent varieties with 

 which to supplement them would be, in 

 white, Alice Day and White Chieftain. 

 A good early white is White Gloria and 

 a good early pink is Unaka. The rea- 

 son the Pacifies are only six to eight 

 inches high is probably because they 

 were propagated late. If they were 

 large stock, planted from 4-inch pota 

 June 1, they should be considerably 

 higher than stated. 



It will be well to run the new houses 

 east and west, to get the benefit as far 

 as possible of the midwinter sun for 

 the geraniums. Of course, a house of 

 this kind will be hot in summer, but 

 if, as H. C. H. says, he is going to 

 remove the sashes before planting the 

 mums, the summer heat would not make 

 any difference; therefore I would sug- 

 gest that by all means the houses bo 

 run east and west. Chas. H. Totty.

ABOEN flower grower? Yes, the phrase tits William W. Vert as if made to his 

 measure. Besides inheriting the requisite abilities, he began life in the right 

 environment. He was born in August, 1884, at Audley End Gardens, of which 

 his father had charge, in Saffron Walden, England. After mastering his profession, 

 the young man came to America in 1906. Since then he has been gardener for 

 Howard Gould, at Castlegould, a large and fine estate at Port Washington, X. Y. 

 He was married in 1911 and has a little daughter. He has been notably successful 

 as an exhibitor at many large flower shows. He was elected vice-president of the 

 C. S. A. in 1915 and was advanced to the presidency of the organization at its 

 recent Philadelphia convention. He is a member, also, of the N. A. G. and other 

 horticultural bodies.
