INDEXING THE BEVIEW. 



Recently we saw an account of a sub- 

 scriber who was cutting out of The 

 Beview all the articles he wished to 

 preserve and pasting them in a book, 

 and tben devising some sort of an index 

 to make the scrapbook usable. We 

 have devised a method which, I believe, 

 beats that all hollow. 



We number the copies of The Review 

 from 1 to 52 and have them standing 

 in a rack on the desk. Then, for index, 

 we get a box of cards, 200 or more, and 

 cut a piece of pasteboard half the width 

 of the cards to slip down between the 

 cards of each letter. You may use ten 

 cards under letter C, where you would 

 use but one under L, but more cards may 

 be added wherever needed. 



Now take your copy of The Review. 

 In looking through it, you may find an 

 article on "Aster Blight" which you 

 wish to refer to again. On your index 

 card, you write under A — Aster blight, 

 1, p. 10. Farther over, on page 18, you 

 find something about "The Culture of 

 Heliotrope," which you wish to pre- 

 serve and you index it under H — Helio- 

 trope Culture, 1, p. 18. 



So far as The Review articles go, this 

 saves cutting and pasting and the at- 

 tendant difficulty of utilizing articles 

 printed on both sides of a page, but

when it comes to articles from other 

 sources you wish to index, a dab of 

 paste on some advertising page will 

 stick it in anywhere so that it will not 

 get lost, yet can be indexed like other 

 matter. A second year 's file of Reviews 

 could be indexed similarly, or the prized 

 information could be cut out and put 

 into your first file. H. C. Bateham.

TOP-HEAVY PRIMULAS. 



Our primroses are giving trouble; 

 many of their leaves are either dying or 

 making but little growth. Are they al- 

 ways weak in the neck? They seem to 

 be top-heavy and wobble around as if 

 breaking off near the ground. 



R. F. C— Idaho. 



You do not state which primroses you 

 are growing. There are several sorts 

 that are used for winter flowering and 

 all are of simple, culture. They thrive 

 best in a compost containing one-fourth 

 to one-third of leaf -mold, not too much 

 decayed, and a good dose of sharp sand 

 to give the compost porosity. All need 

 moderately cool treatment and the usual 

 cause of their becoming leggy is too 

 much heat and shade, or keeping them 

 too far from the glass. P. chinensis is 

 naturally stocky; so is P. obconica. P. 

 malacoides is a better grower and, un- 

 less grown cool and airy, will spread too 

 much. The fact that your plants are 

 "wobbly" at the neck would indicate 



insufficient firming at potting time and 

 leaving the crowns a little too high. 

 Give all the primulas a temperature of 

 45 degrees at night, full sun, free ven- 

 tilation and a somewhat dry atmosphere.

Schenectady, N. Y.— A. J. Grupe, who, 

 in addition to the range of houses oper- 

 ated by his son Arthur, has charge of the 

 floral department of one of the largest 

 department stores in the city, was inter- 

 viewed on his return from a tour of the 

 plant growers in this vicinity and ex- 

 presses the opinion that it would be dif- 

 ficult to find better grown stock, both 

 in variety and size, than he saw. It 

 gives evidence of close application on the 

 part of the growers and is encouraging 

 as to possibilities, even in the face of 

 many unpreventable obstacles.
