Graf TOnOrlola. Jano. |Wee Wata. Clemencla. 



A Portion of the Tuxedo Collection of Anemone-flowered Cfirysantfiemunis> Grown by Carl Schaeffer. 



These ray petals are pale yellow. The 

 tubular petals in the center shade to a 

 bronzy terra cotta, tipped with old gold. 

 It is a magnificent variety in every way. 



Juno is deep lilac, shading to white. 

 The center petals are of a deeper shade 

 than the ray petals and are loose and 

 graceful in effect. It is a large variety, 

 with remarkable foliage and stem. The 

 stem is stiff and erect. 



This is the finest break we have had 

 in many years in mum growing and I 

 predict that the interest in the 1917 

 exhibitions will be greatly increased in 

 consequence of these anemones being 

 introduced to the trade.

PBOFAGATINa DBAC.SNAS. 



Can you tell me how to propagate 

 Dracaena Lindenii and Dracaena gra- 

 cilis t E. P.— Ore. 



Such dracsenas as Lindenii and gra- 

 cilis can be propagated by rooting the 

 tops in sand, or by ringing them. The 

 latter method consists in making a cut 

 clear around the stem, pushing pieces 

 of toothpick in to keep the cut open, 

 tying moss around this cut and keep- 

 ing it constantly moist in a warm 

 house. When the moss becomes filled 

 with roots, the wood can be cut off and 

 potted. These dracffinas can also be 

 propagated by cutting the stems into 

 short lengths — one inch is sufficient — 

 covering these with sand in a warm 

 propagating bench and keeping them 

 moist. Growths will start in a few 

 weeks, and when the roots start to 

 form the portions of stem can be potted 

 and kept close and warm until es- 

 tablished. C. W.
