WORMS ATTACKING DAHLIAS.

 the [loison is laid. "N'ou c;in use ,a half

POINSETTIAS FOR SHIPPING.

 ■lit poinsetti.o.' " H. F. K. Fla. 



Dipping the stems in hot water is a 

 satisfactory way to prevent the loss of 

 sap when cutting poinsettias. Draw 

 some boiling water from your boiler, 

 tilling the bucket about half full. Afs 

 \(iii cut the ]»oinsett ias, immerse the end 

 of the stem in this hot water to a depth 

 of .about four inches. Hold them in this 

 hot water until bleeding stojis, which 

 will re(iuire about five minutes, then put 

 them in a ^■ase of co(d water. One or 

 twi) men shouM do the si-alding while a 

 tliinl cuts the iioinset t ias, if any 

 i|uantity is to be cut. Do not store in a 

 c(dd room; aliout the same tem]ierature
