The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Janlahy 12. 1905. 



the plants are large enough to Bear 

 handling they should be transplanted 

 into a cold frame, giving each plant at 

 least three inches of space. Before the 

 frost has had a chance to give thern a 

 check they should be transplanted into a 

 bench having three inches of a light, 

 sandy soil which should be enriched with 

 decomposed manure in the proportion of 

 one of manure to four of soil. 



As the pansy is a water-loving plant, 

 good drainage must be provided to pre- 

 vent the soil from becoming sodden, as 

 this will certainly ruin the crop. The 

 pansy, being a native of northern Europe, 

 requires a low temperature and does best 

 at 45 degrees at night. During bright 

 sunshine the temperature may be allowed 

 to run up to 60 degrees but this must be 

 accompanied by plenty of ventilation. 

 By giving them a place on the bench 

 where they will have a maximum of sun- 

 light and taking care that they never 

 suffer from want of water, a good crop 

 can be had, even during the darkest 

 weather. 



By selecting a good strain of seed, one 

 which has a habit of producing long 

 flower stems, and selecting seed from 

 such each year you can secure a strain 

 to suit your purpose. R. 



BULBOUS STOCK FOR EASTER. 



Kindly tell us the length of time re- 

 quired to bring tulips, daffodils and nar- 

 cissi into bloom. They are now in epld 

 frames without heat, potted in ^gtwnber 

 and are apparently well rooted. ^IR 6ave 



January or February in a temperature of 

 60 degrees would require from twenty-one 

 to twenty-eight days for tulips and Paper 

 Whites, and about a week longer for 

 daffodils; 60 degrees is rather a high 

 temperature in which to produce {;ood 

 flowers with stiff stems; 55 degrees is 

 much better. 



Easter being late this year, the trouble 

 with this class of stock will be in hold- 

 ing it back and the only way to gauge the 

 time to have them in bloom at that date 

 will be to watch them closely and exer- 

 cise your best judgment, as much depends 

 on the kind of weather we may have at 

 that time. K.

Frequent inquiry as to the correct pro-
