POINSETTIAS. 



Will you please state briefly through 

 the Eeview some of the main points in 

 caring for poinsettias? L. N. B. 



The flower bracts should now be show- 

 ing on poinsettias. The plants require 

 a temperature at this time not below 

 55 degrees at night, and 60 degrees 

 will insure you finer flower-heads. Fall 

 sunshine is required, and if the pots or 

 pans are well filled with roots, aflford 

 some liquid manure once a week until 

 the bracts are fully developed. The 

 plants can be kept in a somewhat cooler 

 house when in full flower, but the tem- 

 perature should not fall below 50 de- 

 grees, or less foliage may result. Water 

 must be given carefully; either too 

 much or two little will cause .yellowing 

 of the leaves. If your plants are in 

 benches, see that they are securely 

 staked to keep the stems from becoming 

 twisted. 



After the flowering season, lay your 

 stock plants on their sides under the 

 bench in a moderately cool greenhouse 

 and keep there until the end of May, 

 when you can shake away the old soil, 

 prune them back, pot into small pots 

 and place on the bench in a warm house 

 or frame. Do not water too heavily 

 until the plants break freely. Bub oflf 

 the cuttings with a heel when three 

 or four inches long, and insert in clean, 

 sharp sand. Bottom heat is not needed 

 to root them. Shade and water care- 

 fully until rooted. Grow the plants in 

 frames during the summer, where they 

 will become more stocky than if kept in 

 the greenhouses. 



Cuttings may be rooted until the mid- 

 dle of August. Those put in during 

 July and August are good for making 

 up pans, but the earlier ones will give 

 the finest bracts for cutting. C. W.
