The Florists^ Review 



June 7, 1917. 



The polyanthus flowers indoors in a 

 cool greenhouse from the middle of Feb- 

 ruary until the end of April, The flow- 

 ers are specially good during March and 

 April. Outdoors they floTver, during 

 May and June. They may be had in 

 many colors, but yellow sells best; next 

 to that, white. They are easily grown 

 either from seed or by division. During 

 summer they should be planted out in 

 the field. This should be done as early 

 in May as possible. 



William Sim, a large and successful 

 grower of polyanthus, sliades his plants 

 from the hot sun by means of cheese- 

 cloth. The plants should be lifted and 

 stored in coldframes if special places 

 are not ready for them at the lifting 

 time. They do best in solid beds of 

 deep, well manured soil, and enjoy a 

 violet temperature. If seed is sown in 

 January or February, strong plants may 

 be had to flower the following season. 

 Divisions secured at once will also give 

 good results. These flowers sell well in 

 the eastern wholesale markets.
