The Weekly Florists' Review* 



ITebruaby 28, 1907. 



They will, however, succeed in one kept 

 5 degrees cooler, which would suit car- 

 nations. The callas can be grown on 

 the center beds and carnations on the 

 sides. If the houses will be needed for 

 bedding plants after April 1 we would 

 not advise planting the bulbs in the 

 benches, as is sometimes done. 



Plant one strong bulb in a 6-inch pot 

 or three in an 8-inch pot as soon as pro- 

 curable in late summer. Use a compost 

 of two-thirds fibrous loam and one-third 

 well dried cow manure, with a good dash 

 of sand mixed in. A little bone meal 

 can also be used. Keep outdoors in a 

 warm, sunny location until danger from 

 frost threatens, when they can be placed 

 where they are to flower. When the pots 

 are well filled with roots, feed liberally, 

 using liquid manure twice a week. The 

 plants will continue blooming until Me- 

 morial day, after which date they can 

 be gradually dried off and laid on their 

 sides until about August 1. 



Callas will grow vigorously the year 

 around, and a good way to strengthen 

 the plants is to plant them out in an 

 open, sunny spot in rich earth, cultivate 

 freely around them and pot up about 

 the middle of August, keeping as many 

 roots intact as possible. If kept well 

 syringed they will suffer little from the 

 check and soon fill the pots with roots. 

 Plants treated in this way will produce 

 larger and finer flowers than when the 

 drying off method is practiced. C. W.
