In order to get flowers in. November 

 and December — and I may say only a 

 , few growers get many flowers at that 

 early date, and these not • of the best 

 quality — propagate your cuttings in 

 early spring, carry along in pots and, 

 pick oflf all flowers and buds. In Au- 

 gust, plant them in quite shallow 

 benches. Or, better still, continue to 

 grow them in pots, but stand the pots 

 oil benches containing loam into which 

 the roots can push through. Treating 

 them in this way, some growers have 

 good success. On the other hand, one 

 lurge specialist plants them in solid

PBOPAQATINa SHASTA DAISIES. 



I have some 1-year-old Shasta daisies 

 which are good-sized clumps and which 

 bloomed well last summer. I wish 

 to increase my stock of plants and 

 still have as many flowers as pos- 

 sible in the coming summer. Will the 

 undivided clumps produce more flowers 

 than well cultivated divided clumps 

 during the coming summer? 



V. R. F. 



The undivided clumps would give the 

 best returns the first summer. Had di- 

 vision been made in the fall, the re- 

 sults would have been more favorable 

 to divided clumps. You can sow 

 seeds of Shasta daisies now and get 

 strong plants before spring sale time. 

 Many of these will bloom moderately 

 the first season. C. W. 



YELLOW SiABaUEBITES. 



What care and treatment should be 

 given yellow daisies or marguerites? 

 When should the cuttings be rooted in 

 order to get them to bloom by Novem- 

 ber 1? I have been rooting them in 

 sand about February, then putting them 

 in 2-inch pots. As soon as it was 

 warm enough, I planted them outside 

 until August, when they were put in 

 the greenhouse. Out of 700 plants in 

 the field, about fifty were saved; the 

 rest died in the field. After the fifty 

 plants were removed to the greenhouse, 

 they attained a height of two and a 

 half to three feet before they com- 

 menced to bloom. What I am particu- 

 larly intterested in is, how to get the 

 blooms early in the winter. I have 

 only now commenced to cut flowers 

 from the plants which were put in- the 

 house in August. P. J. V.

beds in a temperature of 50 to 52 de- 

 grees and cuts plenty of flowers from 

 November onward, which seems to dis- 

 prove the theory of most specialists in 

 yellow marguerites, that starvation in 

 summer and a limited root run in win- 

 tei are needed. Try a few plants each 

 way and prove the best system for 

 yourself, but do not plant any more 

 of them outdoors, for it will only mean 

 failure. C. W,

Can the Mrs. Sander marguerite be 



grown successtfully from' seed? If so, 



please give me a few cultural direc- 

 tions. -V. R. F. 



I have not seen any reports of grow- 

 ers raising this from seed. It is so 

 easily propagated from cuttings that, 

 even if-^eed were obtainable, cuttings 

 would be preferable, and seedlings 



would be sure to vary more or less 

 from the type. Perhaps some other 

 growers may have raised seedlingsand 

 can give their experience. C7*W. 



THBIF8 ON SNAPDBAOONS. 



I am enclosing a small branch of a 

 snapdragon that is badly affected with 

 some sort of disease. ' Please tell mo 

 what I can'^do for it. I have a bench 

 of snapdragons in which only ilk few 

 seem to be affected so far, and I wish 

 to check the disease as soon as possible. 



B.D. 



The shoot forwarded was badly in- 

 fested by thrips. Probably the af- 

 fected plants are near the heating pipes 

 and the atmosphere there is too warm 

 and arid. Spray with a nicotine solu- 

 tion and use the hose to keep a moist 

 atmosphere where the pests have ap- 

 peared. C. W. 



DISCOLOBED CATJ.AS. 



Can you explain the reason for callas 

 coming with dirty spots? Do you think 

 the trouble is due to diseased bulbs, or 

 is it in the culture? These' are old 

 bulbs, probably 15 years old, which 

 did well until last year, when a few 

 came off color, but this year they are 

 worse. The bulbs were gradually dried 

 off after Memorial day and replanted 

 September 1. Some were planted in 

 pots and bloomed satisfactorily, but 

 the majority are in solid beds. We 

 keep the temperature at 60 degrees at 

 night. E. P. C. 



Your calla bulbs are getting extreme- 

 h' old, and while pot culture instead of 

 planting in solid beds would insure you 

 cleaner plants, it would not altogether 

 remove the trouble. Calla bulbs are
