shower drove us indoors .tiuI set us 

 washing scale off oraiifje plants, healthy 

 stock, but susceptible to the attacks of 

 bugs. An oily soap nicotine prepara- 

 tion made the lirown rascals fairly slide 

 off and left the foliage glossy. Follow- 

 ing this, we visited the Boston ferns 

 which we had recently planted. We 

 found them running, so we ran our 

 lingers through tlie soil and covered the 

 runners to get them to take root, which 

 they soon will do in line soil. Next we 

 stirred the surface of the soil in the 

 liouse of mums. We examined the roots 

 and found them starting well. A batch 

 of baby ramblers in 2-inch ])ots next 

 had our attention. Then we potted up 

 pelargoniums for stuck. We were finisli- 

 ing the week with jiolting strawberry 

 runners when another shower drove us 

 indoors and 'twjis ne.'ir quitting time. 

 The morning .-iftcr the glorious 

 Fourth found us on our v;icatmn;il voc.'i- 

 tion, with ;i greeting from the boss, 

 who was busy witii the V(>nt ilators, that 

 "yesterday was the hottest day in 

 his long rx|ierience and "twas fortunate 

 that things were not as they were for- 

 merly, or he was afraid the bovs would 

 be affected by the iieat." 



The rooted cuttings of poinsettias. 

 (lOtti'il up recently, show our success as 

 potters. We next tackled a batch of 

 <'ric.as, the larger ]ilants being jilunged 

 outdoors in a shady i)l;icc ;ind where it 

 is ea.sy to water, for, like all jilunged 

 potted stock, it dries out miuh more 

 quickly than when pl.-intcd out of pots. 

 Fine lots of plants .-ire in sight for 

 Christmas, although there is a demand 

 for a sightly plant at any time during 

 the winter. 



I^sually the ]ir(dilfMi is how to get 

 plants into biooni, but we have one 

 wliich is lunv mil to allow them to 

 flower. This refers to I'.ougaijivillea 

 Sanderi.-ui.i, wliiih .js yrown li(>re shows 

 a ]>roclivity to blootn iierpetually. It is 

 .■I wonderful plant ,ind will "become 

 liighly jiopular for house decoration 

 when more widely known. The same re- 

 ni.nrk .applies to the Kex begonia, which

we tackled next, shifting from 3-inch 

 ]iots into 4 -inch and .5-inch pots. It is 

 ;ni old-f;(shioned plant, but no one ever 

 had an overstock of it. These plants 

 show beautiful luster and, as they have 

 been kept on the dry side, the edges of 

 the leaves ;ire clean. Care in watering 

 pays. This remark is also applicable 

 to everything else, under glass espe- 

 cially. 



We made ;i last topping of the carna- 

 tions in tlie tiebl, which made a remark- 

 .'ible growth following the recent boun- 

 tiful rains. The ])lants were fit to come 

 inside, but, .as the thermometer regis- 

 tered 110 degrei's uri<ler glass at the 

 time, the boss, considerate man that he 

 is, concluded to wait ;i few days for 

 tlie comfort of the planters. In tlie 

 meantime the cultiN.'itor is kept work- 

 ing, tickling the roots ,iiid j.arring the 

 weeds. ^ W. M.
