The weather conditions were unfavor- 

 able to producing as large a cut of flow- 

 ers as was expected for Christmas. Every- 

 thing was exceptionally scarce. There 

 were, however, plenty of Eomans, Paper 

 "Whites, violets and valley, with Cross 

 having a few sweet peas on sale. The 

 supply of good roses was far short of 

 the demand; carnations the same. Every- 

 body was well stocked with plants: aza- 

 leas, poinsettias, peppers, cyclamens and 

 Romans in pans. In sales poinsettias 

 led. It must also be said that they were 

 in heaviest supply with all, except Cross, 

 who had a run on cyclamens, being prac- 

 tically the only one having them. Crabb 

 & Hunter were in the same position with 

 Bon Silene roses, which are just now pop- 

 ular for bouquets. Every azalea and 

 poinsettia sold to the last plant.. Of 

 other kinds, some were left. All flowers 

 were cleaned up to the last scrap. The 

 weather being cold, much difficulty was 

 experienced in wrapping and delivering 

 plants. As a whole business with most 

 was about equal to that of last year, 

 with Cross's store as an extra over last 

 year, and he did a fair share of the total 

 business done. 



It is strange, but never, since violets 

 began to be grown here, have they been 

 as slow in blooming as this year, or as 

 few cut during the holidays. James 

 Schols is cutting the most. 



The daily papers chronicle that Walter 

 S. and Mary Parsons have started suit 

 against Charles Chadwick to collect 

 $2,000 alleged to be due on a note.

LILACS FOR FORCING. 



So highly are the fragrant flowers of 

 the lilacs appreciated when developed 

 early in the year under glass, that in 

 directing attention to the details essen- 

 tial to success in forcing these shrubs 

 there is no occasion to dwell upon their 

 charms. 



To insure a full measure of success 

 it is necessary to have plants that are 

 well established in pots, have well-rip- 

 ened wood, and are furnished with an 

 abundance of stout flower buds. None 

 but the finest of the numerous varieties 

 should be grown for forcing. 



October, or early in November, will be 

 the best month in which to pot the lilacs, 

 but whether the young plants have been 

 raised at home or purchased, they ought 

 not to be forced during the ensuing win-

ter. Some may be sufficiently advanced 

 to bloom, but it will be far better to 

 give them a year's growth in pots before 

 taking them under glass. Two years 

 will be gained by buying plants of the 

 ordinary nursery size and potting them 

 up as advised for the home-grown stock. 

 As they are potted, plunge the pots to 

 the rim in a bed of ashes made up on a 

 hard surface. 



For their accommodation during the 

 summer and autumn months a bed of 

 ashes should be made up in an open, 

 sunny position, and the pots plunged to 

 two-thirds their depth in this. Sufficient 

 space must be allowed them to make 

 their growth without overcrowding. The 

 watering must be carefully attended to, 

 and arranged as here advised, with a 

 portion only of the pots covered; they 

 will require rather liberal supplies of 

 water. When the pots are well filled 

 with roots, and they are growing freely, 

 an occasional supply of liquid manure 

 will be beneficial. Bushes that are pro- 

 ducing a considerable number of shoots 

 should have some of the weaker ones 

 removed to give room for the others to 

 attain their full development. 



Lilacs prepared as here advised may 

 be forced quite early, and the first batch 

 may be placed in heat early in Decem- 

 ber. Where the stock is small it will be

better to commence a month later, name- 

 ly, at the beginning of January. They 

 will succeed under the conditions that 

 usually obtain in the forcing house; but 

 the best results are obtained by com- 

 mencing with a temperature of 50 or 55 

 degrees and increasing it to 60 degrees 

 as the growth progresses. 



Careful attention must be given them
