 sule bench and were badly shaded by a 

 (•enter bed of chrysantheinnnis in their 

 season, which were early jdanted and 

 i^iew very tall. The Ivory did not do

KuplaiUing one-year-old stock is al- 

 ways more preearions am. more subject 

 io failure than haiuUing young, vigorous 

 stock. Kequiring more skill and care 

 lit insure success, I lia\e refrained from 

 idvising this method of culture. 



To insure success these plants slioidd 

 111 partially rested before transplanting 

 .ind after ]>Ianting they should i)e thor- 

 ■lUghly soaked and the temperature kept 

 ■IS near r)(', tlegrees as possible for a 

 week or so. until root action recom- 

 mences. After the first soaking they 

 -ijiould be allowed to lun medium dry, 

 keeping the syringe going every liright 

 lay, which will usually sui>|dy all the 

 luiiistiu-e needed until the eyes begin to 

 lireuk. wheri the temperature can 1>e
