Varioui Note*. 



No doubt the friends of Thos. Browne 

 will be pleased to learn of his partial 

 recovery. 



At the last meeting of the Detroit 

 Florists ' Club, which is well represented 

 in the S. A. F., a motion was made and 

 carried emphatically protesting against 

 the changing of the convention date. It 

 is impossible for storemen and most 

 growers to get away during November 

 and, owing to the uncertainty of the 

 Aveather, it is a hard matter to ship 

 plants at that time. All this would 

 surely have a tendency to reduce the at- 

 tendance, which would be fatal to our 

 society.

VATERING PRIMULAS. 



When primulas are grown in a high 

 temperature there is not much danger of 

 harming them in watering, unless the 

 wielder of the water-can is more than 

 usually careless. In a cooler structure 

 the case is different, and even a careful 

 man may do damage with the water-pot 

 unless he brings a little intelligence to 

 bear. The roots of Chinese primulas 

 are extremely fine, and even when the 

 plants are in full flower, rarely seem to 

 have taken complete possession of the 

 soil. For this reason the soil is easily

soured, and sour soil means death to 

 many of the finest roots. Few young 

 beginners are so careless in the use of 

 the pot as to cause established plants to 

 rot off at the collar, but many of them 

 cannot keep the foliage healthj and un- 

 spotted; and the foliage of many pri- 

 mulas is a valuable asset. — Gardeners'
