AFTER A FIRE. 



I have left after my recent fire five 

 empty benches, two middle benches with 

 soil and three sides without, and almost 

 all of my stock was destroyed. What 

 could I put in my houses to bring me in 

 a little surplus money for spring? I 

 do a local and wholesale trade. 



S. N. C. 



There is a variety of crops that you 

 might use to occupy the benches, but 

 it would not pay to purchase enough 

 stock to entirely fill all the benches at 

 once or you would have no space for 

 overflow, as the plants grew and needed 

 more room. If you have a good demand 

 at Easter, then there is time yet to start 

 hybrid perpetual roses; also, you can 

 procure azsileas, rhododendrons, deutzias 

 or Spiraea Japonica. A few plants or 

 rooted cuttings of several bedding 

 plants if gotten at once can be propa- 

 gated to any extent by spring. Such 

 plants as coleus, achyranthes, heliotrope, 

 etc. Then there is that most popular 

 plant, the canna; fine plants of these at 

 bedding time are always in good de- 

 mand. Sweet peas can be sown and 

 could be picked at Easter and on and 

 there is a great demand for these in 

 the month of May. The quickest crop 

 to yield you any returns might be a 

 bench of lettuce, which would be cut 



and out of the way in time for you 

 to spread your bedding plants. I 

 don't suppose I have anywhere near 

 exhausted the list that would be avail- 

 able for your use. Lastly I would sug- 

 gest a few hundred Japan longiflorums 

 for Memorial day. Brought along cool 

 they are in good demand for that occa* 

 sion, W. S. 



SPIRAEA FOR EASTER. 



Will you kindly tell me what kind of 

 spirsea to grow, also culture of samet 

 There are many varieties and I am not 

 familiar with them; in fact, I have had 

 no experience in that line. I intend 

 growing a few plants of the best variety. 



M. T. G. 



This question was received a long time 

 3go, yet there is time to purchase the 

 roots end grow them for Easter; plenty 

 of time. Many growers stick to the old 

 species, Spiraea Japonica, which we can 

 very well remember being grown in an 

 old-fashioned conservatory fifty-five years 

 ago. If I make it any more distant 

 than that you will think I fought un- 

 der Washington. In those days it was 

 not a commercial plant and the same 

 roots were forced year after year, but 

 that would never pay nowadays in these 

 strenuous, high pressure times. The 

 roots are exceedingly inexpensive. It 

 is the amount of l^nch space they need 

 and the relatively low price at which 

 they sell that make them by no means 

 the most profitable plant we grow. As 

 to kinds, Spiraea Japonica is excellent, 

 very graceful and feathery, and I would 

 advise you to grow most of that. Spiraea 

 Japonica compacta makes a more dense, 

 compact spike but is not as graceful 

 for cutting. Then there are two other 

 forms, Gladstone and the Washington 

 variety. These make longer and larger 

 spikes of bloom. Try a few of each. 



Like other early flowering plants that 

 we force, the nearer we approach the 

 natural flowering time, j;he less time.it- 

 will take to force them into flower. 

 Pot them by the first of February and 

 the first three weeks they can be placed 

 under a bench and removed to the light 

 as soon as top growth starts. As they 

 should receive a pot only large enough 

 to hold the ball of roots, and as they 

 are prodigious rooters, they require copi- 

 ous and frequent watering once the leaf 

 growth is well developed. It is of the 

 utmost advantage the last three weeks of 

 their growth to put a 6-inch or 7-inch
