Spiraeas. •" 



The loots of spiraea, nr as4illie, as 

 lintaiii--ts prefer to call it. will arrive

 form. We h.ive remarked before that 

 you can <irow lietter s|)iia'a (dumps than 

 you can Iniy aluoad. 'I'ry it .and prove 

 for vouiMdf how sujierioi' they .are. 



Primulas. 



The various piimroses, such as Sinensis, 

 cdicijjiica .and the new yellow, Kevvensis, 

 Will all he st.artiii}; to liloom now. There 

 will lie nil special call for them before 

 < hristm.as, but nicely tloweri'd pliiiits will 

 be in dem.aiid at that fiine. A tempera 

 ture of •!•") to .')(! de<;iees at iiif;lit, plenty 

 of li<ilit but not too mmdi direct sun 

 lijilit, and car(d'ul v\.ateriii<r, are n'Dvv 

 needed. The ('liine^e section will tlie 

 inore (jiiickly resent overwatcrinj;', .so, if 

 Sen use the hose aiiHrny them, do not 

 vv.ater eacdi pot indiscriminately. Hettei' 

 to h:i\e them a little on the dry side 

 than the reverse. Atl'oi'd weak iiianuie 

 water to any wliiih iiniy luive (he |iol^ 

 full ot' roots. 



Look out for aphis on the lower sides 

 of the leaves on !'. (ibconica. If you 

 fiiniinate niice a week,/ as you should nil 

 winter, ynii can keep them iu control, 

 (urliny leaves and a somewhat stunted 

 niDwiii are sure iinlicatiniis of the ])res 

 elice of the pest. 



Cyclamens. 



If cyclamen seeds were .sown ratliei 

 widely apart in Hats, the little .seedliiios 

 will be .all I'if^ht for some time yet. if. 

 on the nth(>r hiind, you sowed tlieni tlii<-k
