Calceolarias.

 well sliadiMl <;reeMli(Uise. I'rotect the |ian 

 with j^lass and ]>a|ier. Lid the soil he 

 liindy sci'eeiied, water and then sow the 

 si'eds; later seatter a little tine sand 

 over it. Aiiotlier jdan, and a ^^ood one, 

 is to screen a little fine, dry s|)lia^iiuiu 

 moss over the surt'aee of the pan, scatter 

 tiie seeds on this and then water. Jt 

 is too soon yet to take eiittings of tlie 

 rniiosa calceolarias. 



SINGLE YELLOW DAISIES. 



I should like to know the name of the 

 sinffle yellow daisies that are used as 

 cut flowers in tlie winter and sprint;- for 

 l)asket and corsa<;e work. ^Vhen shouhl 

 they be }»lanted in the j^reeiihouse .' 

 Shall I buy roote<l cuttinjrs or li'^-i'ieh 

 stock ? Do they need solid beds or raised 

 benches? IIow^ much space do they vv 

 ([uire? Please <rive nu' any cultural 

 directions that are necessarv.

All yellow marj^'uerites are foi'ms ot 

 Chrysanthemum frutescens. I'lant now 

 from l2',2ii"'h pots in either s(did beds 

 or raised benches. While t lu' majority 

 of yroweis prefer to limit tlie ro(d I'un 

 of their plants, and carry o\'er old jilants 

 in many cases from year to year, yet the 

 largest and most succesful giower of 

 y(dlow maiyuerites for the Hoston mar- 

 ket, which i'ecei\cs more g I yellow 



marguerites than any other city in the 

 Cnited States, plants young sto(d< eat li 

 season and in ground beds. The way liis 

 ]dants Mower is a rexidatioii. 



A minimum temperature nl' ."u degic"-; 

 suits marguerites and a soil such a> suit< 

 roses, mums or carnations will auswci- 

 well for them. Place the jdants eight 

 cell incdies apart eatdi way. Siippiuts 

 must lie gi\-en t'ro?ii time tn time; ;i sys- 

 tem of cross strint;s siniilar to t lio>e uscil 

 for carnations, only spaced tartlier apart, 

 will be found suitalde. It' leaf iiiiiiiTs
