sized plants and 6-inch the very largest. 

 Treat the same as stevias and keep out- 

 doors until frost threatens. Sometimes 

 these are grown in pots through the 

 summer, but they do not make nearly as 

 fine plants as when planted out. On the 

 other hand, we think it pays to grow 

 stevias in pots, as many break so badly 

 when lifted from the ground. 



Botrvardias. 



The present month should see bouvar- 

 dias lifted from the open ground and 

 planted in benches, where, if kept syr- 

 inged and shaded, they will soon stand 

 erect. If a small number only are 

 grown the plants can be potted, but 

 benches give the finer crop of flowers. 

 While they will grow well in any green- 

 house for some weeks, a moderately warm 

 house is needed to insure a good winter 

 * supply. At night 55 degrees will suit 

 them very nicely. There is less call for 

 this pretty little flower than some years 

 ago, but it will be found very useful, espe- 

 cially to those doing a retail trade. The 

 early blooming variety, B. Humboldtii, 

 with large, sweet scented flowers, has 

 jumped into considerable favor of late 

 years and is decidedly the most valuable 

 sort grown. The late flowering scarlet 

 and pink sorts are useful at Christmas, 

 the first named color selling especially 

 well. 



Hydrangeas. 



If you have been growing plants for 

 flowering next winter in pots, give them 

 the sunniest possible position and grad- 

 ually reduce the water supply, not to the 

 extent of causing the plants to wilt, but 

 a slightly reduced water supply will tend 

 to ripen up the wood and stop growth. 



NEW ROSE, JOSEPH LOW 



a sport from Belle Siebrecht, bat "a glorified Chatenay" in color, the grandest rose of 

 the year. Price, 90c each; $10.25 per dozen. 



NEW ROSE, BABY DOROTHY 



A Baby Rambler of Dorothy Perkins color, the finest bedding and forcing rose extant. 

 Price, $3.75 per dozen; $26.00 per 100. Strong field grown plantM for Fall delivery. 



If you are buyers of strong dwarf roses for forcing, or good well-eyed stocks, let 

 us have your inquiries. We are bead(iuarters. 



HIGH LOW & CO., Bush Hill Park, Middlesex, Eng. 



Plants which are growing outdoors can be 

 lifted any time. They litt with plenty 

 of fibrous roots and may be safely taken 

 up even when the ground is dry. A little 

 shade may be necessary if the weather 

 keeps hot and dry, but if kept well 

 watered they will soon stiffen up and 

 send plenty of roots round the sides of 

 the pots. Such plants will force suc- 

 cessfully; those lifted late will not. 



Rambler Roses. 



These, if they have been well looked 

 after, will have made strong canes. We 

 hope you are growing them in pots, for 

 it is the only very successful way to 

 handle them if you want perfectly 

 bloomed Easter stock. It is true that 

 many are dug and potted in the fall, 

 when the wood is ripe. Fair plants may 

 be had in this way, but if you want 

 first-class plants, carrying large heads of 

 flower, grow tliem in pots from the pre- 

 vious sprintr. If your pots are matted 

 with roots s(( that you can roll the ball 

 on the ground and'have it remain intact, 

 they, will make plants which will sell on 

 sight. A great proportion of the Easter 

 offerings of ramblers are potted in the 



fall. It does not require an expert to 

 pick out these plants when in flower. 



Crimson Ramblers, if wanted for early 

 forcing, should be in a very sunny spot 

 and from now on have a gradually re- 

 duced water supply. What you want is 

 hard, thoroughly ripened canes and you 

 are nearly certain to have blooms, with 

 careful culture later. The Pink Ram- 

 blers make later growth than the crim- 

 son variety and should still be well sup- 

 plied with water. 



Brief Reminders. 



As the nights grow cooler, house any 

 poinsettias you may have had standing 

 outdoors, to prevent loss of foliage. 

 Poinsettias without good foliage are 

 very undesirable plants. 



Keep cyclamen, cinerarias, primulas 

 and calceolarias cool and slightly reduce 

 the shading over them. 



If your carnations are established, 

 clean the glass of any shading you may 

 have given them. 



Pot up a good batch of the strongest 

 nephrolepis you may have in benches, in 

 order to have them well established for 

 early sales.
