LOBELIAS FROM SEEDS. 



Lobelias are so easily raised from 

 seeds, and give such excellent results iu 

 the flower garden, that there is really 

 no need to preserve old plants througli 

 the winter. A packet of seed will yield 

 hundreds of plants, and so great is the 

 vigor of these seedlings thaf they should 

 be planted out nine inches apart. Em- 

 peror William is one of the best and 

 cheapest lobelias in cultivation, and may 

 be recommended to the grower who wants 

 a good, free-tlowcring, general utility 

 lobelia. 



Seeds should be sown about the mid- 

 dle of .January, merely sprinkling them 

 on the surface of a pan of well-drained, 

 sandy soil, and covering with nothing 

 but a square of glass. If the structure 

 is warm and moist, signs of life should 

 be seen in about a fortnight, and the 

 young plants Avill be ready for pricking 

 off in another three weeks. The glass 

 «hould be removed when growth com- 

 mences, and care should be taken not to 

 water the pan through a can, even if 



rosed. Carefully immerse it in a vessel 

 of water, and allow it to become fairly 

 dry before repeating the operation. 



Pricking off is best performed with 

 a pointed stick, and it should be done 

 early, as, however carefully sowing is 

 done, the seedlings are sure to come up 

 too thickly. Well drain a number of 

 pans or boxes, fill them with soil contain- 

 ing plenty of leaf-mold and sand, finish- 

 ing off with a layer of sand on the sur- 

 face. In each of the receptacles make 

 the necessary number of holes with a 

 pointed stick, which will ensure the young 

 plants being one and a half or two 

 inches apart. Now lift the seedlings care- 

 fully with the stick, and drop into each of 

 the holes made, using the stick to make 

 ' the soil firm about its roots. Water with 

 a fine-rosed can, and stand the pans or 

 boxes in a warm corner, whete they can 

 be shaded should strong sunshine show 

 a desire to get to them. 



The spindling growth made by the 

 plants after this need not alarm the 

 grower as it is perfectly natural and will 

 right itself eventually. To assist it in 

 doing this, and to ensure stocky, bushy 

 plants, it is well, when the plants are 

 an inch or so high, to cut them down al- 

 most to the soil with a pair of scissors. 

 By deferring this operation until the 

 plants are stronger, the removed tops 

 • an be inserted as cuttings and will 

 readily strike and grow. 



Flowers should be snipped off as they 

 form, and the pans moved to the coolest 

 part of the house in readiness for trans- 

 ference to a cold frame. They should 

 reach this latter shelter by the first week 

 ill May. and be thoroughly hardened off 

 by the ond of that month, when they 

 should bo planted out. — Gardeners'
