The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JUNB 13, 1907. 



preparations for the embellishment of 

 that place on a scale of magnificence 

 unequaled in these parts. These prepa- 

 rations include getting ready for plant- 

 ing a roof garden three-quarters of an 

 acre in extent. All the plants will be 

 specimens in 6-inch pots, which will be 

 plunged in the soil. When these show 

 signs of weakness they will be removed 

 and others taken from a large stock 

 held in reserve to fill their places. Thus 

 all the plants in the garden will be in 

 bloom from start to finish. It will take 

 many thousands for the work. 



The effects of the severity of the last 

 winter are still coming to light on all 

 sides. At the Astor place, Beeciiwood, 

 James Boyd took particular pride in his 

 nectarine trees, and he was well justi- 

 fied in so doing, because they were as 

 fine a lot of well trained and well con- 

 ditioned trees, after the crop of fruit 

 was harvested last year, as any person 

 could wish to see. This year, after the 

 work of pruning and tying in had been 

 done with care, the trees flowered in al- 

 most a normal way in about a week 

 thereafter. However, every tree in the 

 house waa found to be dead. The cause 

 of this seems to have been the wet con- 

 dition of the soil encompassing the roots 

 of the trees, and the severe frost conse- 

 quently freezing the roots to an extent 

 past recovery. Max Eeilly. 



TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 



Will you please tell us how to handle 

 tuberous begonias from time of planting 

 to blooming, the proper soil and full par- 

 ticulars? 8. C. C. 



Tuberous begonias, if seedlings, prefer 

 a light and moderately rich compost, half 

 turfy loam and one-fourth each old, dried 

 cow manure and leaf-mold, to which 

 some sand has been added. They should 

 not be potted very firmly. Similar com- 

 post will suit the dry bulbs which you 

 may have. In starting these, we prefer 

 to lay them in flats of sand until well 

 sprouted, then transferring them to 

 5-inch or 6-inch pots. They will need 

 shading from the sun at all times, or 

 scalded leaves will be the result. Fumi- 

 gation will be needed to keep thrips in 

 check, which soon disfigure the young 

 growths if allowed to secure any foot- 

 hold. A light house, freely ventilated 

 and kept at 50 degrees to 55 degrees as 

 a minimum will grow good begonias. Do 

 not spray them overhead and feed with 

 manure water when established in their 

 blooming pots. C. W.
