A -FEW QUESTIONS. 



I have a few questions I would like 

 you to give me light on: 



1. How to propagate begonias to mul- 

 tiply them rapidly, Thurstonii and Ar- 

 genteo-guttata. 



2. May carnations be planted twice 

 in succession in the same soil in the 

 greenhouse with good results? 



3. Are gladioli bulblets of any ac- 

 count? How and when should they be 

 planted? Pan-American strain. 



4. Should cinerarias be pinched back 

 to make more flowers, and how long be- 

 fore Easter for bloom then? 



5. Should the small flowering begonia 

 seedlings be cut back? Main shoot now 

 flowering. 



6. What is the botanical name of the 

 trailing plant usually called Jacob's 

 ladder, green and variegated-leaved. 



7. Has Happy Thought geranium 

 gone out of date, and what color is true 

 flower! B. S. 



I will attempt to give an answer to 



these many questions by number, as they 

 are presented. 



1. The begonias belong to what is 

 known as the shrubby section. They will 

 propagate from the terminal growths, 

 now or later, or if you have cut off the 

 strong shoots, the plants make a lateral 

 growth affording the best of cuttings and 

 they will root readily as late as May and 

 June without bottom heat. 



2. Many of the early carnation grow- 

 ers grew good carnations for two and 

 even three years without change of soil. 

 This was largely practiced in the so- 

 called carnation belt, in Chester county, 

 Pa., but these flowers would not rank as 

 first-class today. With very strong- 

 growing varieties some use one-half old 

 soil and with good results, but the up-to- 

 date, first-class growers renew the entire 

 soil every season and it is the safest plan 

 for you to follow. 



3. The bulblets of gladioli are the 

 means of multiplying all good varieties. 

 Plant and treat the bulblets the same 

 as you would your flowering bulbs, only 

 with more care and use finer prepared 

 soil than you would the stronger bulbs. 



4. It is not usual to pinch the ciner- 

 arias. Tuey make broad, handsome 

 plants without it, yet we have pinched 

 them. If grown cool and with the best 

 of light they do not need pinching and 

 it it is done at all it should be when the 

 plants are small. 



5. As you do not say what variety 

 or type of begonia you refer to, I must 

 leave the solution of this to a lady clair- 

 voyant. 



6. Polemonium c«ruleum. 



7. You see very little of that pretty 

 geranium nowadays, but it is not ex- 

 tinct by any means and you will often 

 find it in private greenhouses. It was 

 an excellent bedding variety, having a 

 variegation entirely its own. The color 

 of blossom is magenta or magenta rose. 

 Here endeth the seventh lesson. W. S.
