The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



August 29, 1907. 



In lifting, however, it is well to take all 

 the soil that you can along with your 

 clumps, so that the roots will not be left 

 entirely bare. Next morning the roots 

 should be taken to the forcing quarters 

 and set as closely together as they can 

 be packed. /The soil adhering to the roots 

 will be all that is necessary to keep them 

 covered. The most convenient plan is to 

 form them into beds wide enough so that 

 they can be conveniently reached from 

 either side when the product is ready for 

 picking. The beds should be formed over 

 ground and a narrow pathway left be- 

 tween, just wide enough to walk on. Thus 

 a pit seven feet wide would accommodate 

 a 3-foot bed on either side, allowing 

 one foot for a passageway in the center. 

 One twelve feet wide would accommodate 

 a 4-foot bed in the center, with a path- 

 way on each side of it and a 3-foot bed 

 along each of the sides. 



As a copious supply of water is need- 

 ed, it is well to sprinkle the beds every 

 day, rather lightly at first, but more 

 heavily as growth advances. Care should 

 be taken, however, that they are not 

 soaked too much. It is advantageous to 

 use water at the same temperature as the 

 atmosphere of the house. This avoids 

 chilling and also prevents the lowering 

 of the temperature, as would be the case 

 should very cold water be applied.

RAWSON'S HOTHOUSE 

 CUCUMBER 



As a forcing: Cucumber is one of the largest and most 

 profitable crops of the Market Gardener, it is essential 

 that the very best possible strain should be sown. 

 With this idea in view we have made selections for the 

 last few years from our Rawson's White Spine, which 

 .jave resulted in a strain about two inches longer and 

 a darker green in color, with a few light spines showing 

 at blossom end. Thia new atraln we confidently 

 believe to be anperior to any other on the market. 

 The results we have had at our own greenhouses with 

 the stock conclusively prove the above to be true. H 

 oz., 36c; oz., 60c; 4 oz., 11.50; lb., $6.00. 



Rawton's 'White Spine Cucumber, 4 oi., 11.50; 

 lb-, 14.00. Send for Market Gardeners' 

 catalogue, listing many special strains of 

 \ Radish, Lettuce, etc., tor use under glass.
