plants into bloom much earlier than is 

 usually done and this without forcing. 

 This is easier to accomplish with nar- 

 cissi than with daffodils and if the 

 weather is not too .'"rosty a good cutting 

 can be had at Thanksgiving instead of 

 the middle of February. The bulbs die 

 down with us about the middle of April 

 and are thoroughly dormant by the end 

 of June. At this time, if it is desired 

 to transplant the stock, it can be done 

 with perfect safety provided the bulbs 

 are not allowed to remain exposed too 

 long and thereby oecome too much dried 

 out. They should be allowed to remain 

 at least two months longer in the 

 ground, to thoroughly mature and given 

 a thorough soaking about the niiurJle of 

 August. The soil can then be spaded 

 deep between the rows and a socoud wa- 

 tering be given about two weeks later. 

 Keep the ground well worked and give 

 them another thorough soaking not later 

 than xour weeks afterward and tbfy will 

 probably require nothing further until 

 tne fall rains oeg.ii. 



In this way a good crop of flowers can 

 be cut for Thanksgiving and at that 

 time when there is usually a dearth of 

 bulbous stock they can be used to ad- 

 vantage and will prove a very vomiiM<;ra- 

 tive article. They are sasceptiblo to 

 frost if very severe but as ws usually 

 are not troublea in r.hir latitude much be- 

 fore the first of December [ have found 

 it possible to get good returns from a 

 bed of narcissi that if left to rheir 

 natural growth and allowed to bloom at 

 the present time did not pay for the 

 trouble of picking them. G.

store windows are gay with thousands 

 of daffodils. Violets are in great profu- 

 sion and the price of all classes of flow- 

 ers has made another drop. Isarcissi are 

 now at their best fJid the few days of 

 sunshine have brought in enormous cut- 

 tings. 



Roses and carnations are in better and 

 larger supply than wo have had them this 

 year and the retailers are no longer 

 troubled about getting supplies enough 

 to fill their orders. Valley and longiflo- 

 rums are offered only in fair quantities 

 and there is only a fair demand for 

 them. 



Wild maidenhair, although late in 

 maturing this season, is now to be had 

 in any quantity and as a result the deal- 

 ers have no bother in getting sufiicient 

 green stock. Freesiis and tulips are in 

 Auii bloom and heip t> make good spring 

 uisplays. 



Business is very good with an abund-
