unless it is intended to have a fresh 

 stock every year. This would be so 

 wasteful a practice that it ought not to 

 be adopted, but instead the plants should 

 be grown from year to year. Assuming 

 that the latter course will be taken, it 

 becomes necessary to point out that, as 

 the growth will have been commenced 

 under glass, the plants when they 

 flower must be placed where they can 

 complete their growth under similar con- 

 •ditions. A light, airy house will afford 

 the most suitable quarters for them 

 when completing their growth. A stout, 

 short- jointed growth being the most fa- 

 vorable to flower production, the plants 

 should be placed near the glass, and the 

 ventilation so arranged that they will en- 

 joy a free circulation of air about them. 

 Whether fire-heat will be necessary or 

 not will depend upon the period at 

 which they bloom, but when they are 

 flowered in March and April, very lit- 

 tle, if any, will be required. Those, on 

 the other hand, that are started so early 

 that they bloom in January and Feb- 

 ruary, will require some aasistance from 

 the heating apparatus. As an indication 

 of the amount of artificial heat neces- 

 sary, it may be mentioned that a tem- 

 perature of 60 degrees is the most de- 

 sirable. "When making their new growth 

 the plants should, if they have not been 

 shifted into pots one size larger, be 

 supplied with liquid manure alternately 

 ■with plain water. Should the bushes be 

 growing out of shape, or have become 

 ^^SSJ, they should be pruned into shape 

 or be cut rather hard back and encour- 

 aged by a rather higher temperature and 

 overhead syringings to start quickly into 

 growth. They may, if necessary, when 

 new growth is commencing, be shifted 

 into larger pots. 



When the new growth is completed, 

 and the completion is indicated by the 

 buds, the plants should be gradually 

 hardened off and be placed in a sunny

position out of doors. Here the pots 

 should be plunged to about two-thirds 

 their depth in a bed of ashes made up 

 on the surface. This is much better than 

 plunging the pots to their full depth in 

 a border of soil, as is sometimes done, 

 as the water supply can be more care- 

 fully regulated and the risk of the soil 

 becoming water-logged is avoided. As a 

 matter of course these must be watered 

 with the same care as advised for the 

 young plants when being prepared, and 

 occasional supplies of liquid manure be 

 given throughout the summer. At every 

 third or fourth watering liquid manure 

 may be given. 



There are now so many beautiful vari- 

 eties in cultivation that the cultivator 

 has a wide range for selection, but as 

 they are not all equally suitable for 

 flowering in pots, considerable care is
