The Gardeners' Magazine. 



In using CYANIDE for fumigating a 

 hoi^se 20x150 and thirteen feet to the 

 ridge at the gardens of the Royal 

 Botanic Society, it has been found a val- 

 uable aid to the even distribution of 

 the gas to hang boards about a foot wide 

 and five feet long above each generator 

 and keep them swinging with a cord 

 leading outdoors. 



Far FINER than the old type is Salvia 

 splendens grandiflora and its brilliant 

 scarlet calyces are much more persistent 

 tban is the old form. 



W. J. Godfrey has been successful in 

 extending the chrysanthemum season well 

 into the new year and the Prince of Pinks 

 is one of the results. It is purely a

HARDENING OFF. 



The term, hardening off, is used, and 

 seen in print, often enough, yet is the 

 trouble always taken to fully realize 

 what the expression really means! It 

 means the preparation of tender "plants 

 to withstand exposure without being in- 

 jured, and if this be so, is it at all times 

 thoroughly understood, or properly car- 

 ried into practice? We know it is not, 

 and also that many valuable subjects of 

 varied descriptions are annually sacriflced 

 through carelessness or ignorance in at- 

 tending to this matter. 



Every one who knows anything about 

 the nature of plants ought to know also 

 that those, even such as are naturally 

 hardy in cold climates, which have 

 formed leaves and roots in a warm tem- 

 perature cannot endure exposure to a 

 much lower temperature than they have 

 grown in without receiving more or less 

 injury, unless they are previously in- 

 ured to their altered concUtions. It will 

 be seen, then, how important it is to use 

 good judgment in hardening off plants. 



Ordinary bedding plants are sensitive; 

 even the most hardy of these, raised in 

 a high temperature. Those who have 

 many of these to furnish know best 

 how it taxes their powers to harden them 

 satisfactorily, unless they have plenty of 

 cool frames, or similar conveniences, at 

 command; but, failing these, it is better 

 to place the plants outside in the most 

 sheltered positions available, and cover 

 them during cold weather with old blinds, 

 or something of the kind, than to keep 

 them until bedding time in a close house. 

 In many cases more mischief is appar- 

 ently done to the plants, as raay be seen 

 if one of them is lifted and examined, 

 through the check to the roots, than to 

 that of the top growth. — Gardeners'
