planted grandiflora. H. cinerea and H. 

 arborescens are still carrying some 

 fresh flower heads, although they have 

 been blooming for months. 



Hypericum Dawsonianum and the 

 lower-growing H. densiflorum are gold- 

 en with flowers, while the imposing H. 

 Moserianum and H. patulum Henryi, in 

 more sheltered locations, are still flow- 

 ering. 



Vitex incisa, with its dense panicled 

 racemes of grayish-lilac flowers, is a 

 graceful shrub, not so much seen as its 

 merits warrant. It flowers for many 

 weeks and even at the end of Septem- 

 ber was full of flowers. This is one of 

 the best flowering shrubs we have had 

 from northern China. 



EUCHASIS AMAZONICA. 



Will you please tell me what to do 

 for my Eucharis Amazonica to get them 

 to bloom well at their proper season! 

 The plants *are healthy, strong and pot- 

 bound in 8-inch pots, but they will not 

 bloom. Do they need a rest to ripen 

 the bulbs, as do amaryllises, and is a 

 temperature of 50 to 55 degrees suf- 

 ficient for themf Do they need much 

 feeding? Is November their flowering 

 timet C. V. F. N.— Can. 



The eucharis must have a rest for a 

 few weeks, or else you will never flower 

 it satisfactorily. Gradually withhold 

 water, but not to such an extent as to 

 cause a loss of foliage. It is better 

 to move the plants into a cooler house 

 while they are resting; 50 to 55 de- 

 grees at night is about right. Then 

 place in as warm a house as you have, 

 60 to 70 degrees at night. Water well, 

 and feed with liquid manure. The 

 spikes should soon appear, if you have 

 good-sized bulbs. If you can provide 

 some bottom heat, the plants will do 

 better. A crop can be had in Novem- 

 ber by timing the resting period right. 

 Eucharis will give two and often three 

 crops of spikes a year, provided they

are rightly treated. A good rest should 

 follow each season of growth, to in- 

 duce flowering. Use a compost of 

 coarse fibrous loam, cow manure and 

 bone meal. In large pots it is an ad- 

 vantage to add some broken brick or 

 sandstone. C. W.
