STOCKS NOT FLOWEEINO. 



I am sending you a plant to learn 

 the name of it, when it will flower, 

 etc. I sowed the seed for ten weeks' ^ 

 Btocks, but the plants are almost a year 

 old. H. H. M.— Mo. 



The plant came to hand dried up and 

 frozen, but it undoubtedly is a stock, , 

 though not the ten weeks' stocks type. 

 Possibly there may be a fifty weeks' 

 type that I have not heard of. I ; 

 am afraid that you have been sold seed 

 which was not the ten weeks' variety : 

 at all. The plant in its habit resembles 

 a variety which was widely grown in 

 my younger days, named East Lothian. 

 We may expect many disappointments 

 in both flower and vegetable seeds as 

 a result of the war. The seed industry 

 in Europe has been dependent on the 

 labor of women, girls, boys and old men 

 for several years, and years must elapse 

 before conditions become normal again.

PROPAOATINO MUMS NOW. 



I grew mums in a cool house this sea- 

 son. Now the benches are full of nice 

 cuttings, just right for rooting. Could 

 they be cut now and grown for next 

 season! If so, how should they be 

 handled? L. N. B.— O. 



While the cuttings that have appeared 

 on old stock could be removed and 

 planted for blooming next autumn, still 

 if planted now they will grow too tall. 

 I would suggest that L. N. B. take the 

 cuttings off now and plant them for 

 stock plants; that is, plant these cut- 

 tings now and allow them to grow along 

 for a month or two and then take the 

 cuttings that appear on them. Plant 

 these in a bench after they are rooted 

 and they will bloom satisfactorily next 

 fall. In this way he will have better 

 results than if he uses the cuttings now 

 appearing for flowering plants for next 

 autumn's crop. C. H. T. 



PANSY FERTILIZES. 



What would be the best fertilizer to 

 apply as a top-dressing to my pansies as 

 soon as the mulch is off in the'springt 

 The bottom leaves have turned yellow, 

 as though they needed fertilizer. I did 

 not use as much stable manure as usual 

 this season. C. A. P. — Me. 



The safest and best fertilizer to apply 

 to your pansies in the spring would be 

 well rotted manure which has been kept 

 under cover, dried somewhat and passed 

 through a 1-inch screen. If this is 

 not obtainable, procure some pulverized 

 sheep manure and broadcast it, later 

 working it in among the plants. I would 

 prefer not to use bone or any chemical 

 fertilizers for the plants. C. W.
