CINESABIAS FOB CHRISTMAS. 



I should like to get a batch of cinera- 

 rias, both the dwarf and stellata varie- 

 ties, in flower for October to Christmas., 

 When is it best to sow these? 



J. W, H.— Mich. 



It is doubtful whether it would be 

 either profitable or desirable to flower 

 cinerarias as early as October. You 

 can, however, have them for Christmas, 

 if you sow the seeds not later than June 

 1 and grow them on in a cool, shaded 

 and well ventilated greenhouse through 

 the summer or, better still, in cold- 

 frames. The large-flowered types natur- 

 ally flower earlier than the small-flow- 

 ered and taller-growing stellatas. It is 

 doubtful if you can flower the latter 

 even as early as Christmas. You can, 

 however, get them in a good condition 

 in January and February, when such pot 

 plants are in good demand. C. W. 



CATTLEYAS NOT FLOWERING, 



I am experiencing some trouble with 

 cattleyas. The plants seem to be thrifty, 

 but where the flower buds should come a 

 leal' forms instead, which should de- 

 velop into a bud, but grows blind. 

 TH<se plants are growing in 6-inch and 

 oiiith pans and are planted in cut-up 

 spli:isnum moss with a little peat and 

 oi:i k fiber. They are sprayed every 

 day if the weather is bright and are not 

 ^^r^ too wet. The night temperature is 

 iro:n 60 to 65 degrees. Can you suggest 

 a r medy for this condition. 



W. R. B.— N. C. 



J our night temperature is rather high 

 J^O' cattleyas; 58 to 60 degrees would be 

 btt^er. On cold nights it will be better 

 ^0 'How the temperature to fall to 50 to

not be given. As your plants throw 

 blind sheaths, provided they make siz- 

 able bulbs, I am inclined to think that 

 you are shading too heavily. These 

 plants want little shade from December 

 1 until March 1. Shading will keep the 

 foliage dark, but plants with more light 

 will bloom far more freely. A remov- 

 able shade where it can be used — lath 

 shades or cloth — is far preferable to 

 shading on the glass. Striped shading

is good and allows a diffusion of sun- 

 light with no possibility of burning. As 

 to compost for cattleyas, I would sug- 

 gest not using any sphagnum moss or 

 peat, and sticking to dark-colored 

 osmunda fiber as being the least de- 

 structible. Your spraying on clear days 

 and watering as needed seems to be all 

 right. It is always safer to underwater 

 rather than the reverse, particularly in 

 winter. C. W.
