POINSETTIAS IN COLD HOUSE. 



I have sixty 8-inch pans with three 

 poinsettias in each. They have not 

 grown evenly. Some are not twelve 

 inches high and others are twice that 

 height. The soil is sandy loam mixed 

 with considerable cow manure. The 

 plants are thrifty now, but have not 

 grown any and I should like to know 

 how to handle them from now on. My 

 greenhouse is not heated. 



C. D. 0.— La. 



The culture of poinsettias is not dif- 

 ficult up to a certain stage; viz.., when 

 the flower bracts begin to form and 

 weather grows cold. When cold nights 

 arrive an.d temperatures drop sharply 

 under glass, you will note that the poin- 

 settia leaves hang down, showing plainly 

 how they feel the cold. This is the sea- 

 son when they need great care, particu- 

 larly in the matter of watering. Yel- 

 low foliage will be the result of keepinp 

 them either too wet or too dry. At 

 tempt to keep the soil fairly moist 

 and, as the bracts develop, apply weak 

 doses of stimulant in the form of liquiil 

 manure. Once a week will ho beneficial. 

 As your greenhouse is not heated, it 

 will be necessary to keep the soil a 

 little drier when the bracts are fully 

 developed. C. W. 



Amelia, O. — Eolland E. Seales, for 

 many years a truck gardener here, plan^ 

 to devote most of the fifty-four acres ho 

 has under cultivation to flowers. He will 

 grow peonies, dahlias, asters aiiii gladioli.
