ROSES FOR EASTER. 



Please f^ive us your expert opinion 

 on the following; ^Ve have a bed ot' 

 Paper White narcissi that will be off 

 about .lanuary 1. Could we use field- 

 grown, dormant C'ecile Brunner roses 

 in the bi'nch a.ltt'rward and got a crop 

 in lor Kaster.' The tenii)eraturc of the 

 liouse is 00 to it') ib-groi's. liow about 

 Brunner or Fircllanir \'i>v jHrttrd plants.' 



T. .\. -.^. D. 



Such polyantlia ros(^s as C'ecile Brun- 

 ner can be liad in bloom for Easter 

 without much trouido. They should be 

 dug up and i)otted at once. This will 

 allow the jilants to make some fresh 

 roots bet'ore they ai'e started. Store 

 them in a coldfraine oi- cold jdt until 

 time for starting arri\es. I'ack leaves 

 or straw among the jkpIs to prevent 

 hard freezing if the stoiage jdace is a 

 cold one. House the ]dants when your 

 stock of Paper ^\'llitl•s has passed, but 

 do not give them a t(Miiperature of G'l 

 to C5 degrees I'or a start: bt it be 4." 

 to no degrees at first; rlii-n. as growth 

 advances, rai-e it gradu.ally until GO 

 degrees at niuiit can be giseu. ]?un 

 them a little cdcder as the flowers open. 

 Dormant jdants set in Vienches need 

 similar treat miMit. it \V(iuli; not do at 

 all to stait llieiii ill ;i viiniig heat. You 

 would get better results frnin ]ilants in
