PLUMOSUS AND OTHER GREENS. 



When may the first cut be taken from 

 plumosus if seed is planted this month, 

 and how many strings are cut in a sea- 

 son? 



How many sprays make a bunch, as 

 quoted in the market reports! 



Should cinders and drain tile be used 

 in making beds on a hard clay soil? Can 

 plumosus, Sprengeri and smilax be grown 

 together, in a detached house twenty feet 

 wide, giving the raised side benches to 

 Sprengeri and the solid center beds to the 

 climbers ? E. C. B. 



Seed planted this month should^ if con- 

 stantly kept in good growing condition, 

 make nice plants for benching about a 

 year from date. After the plants are 

 well established in the bed, you may be- 

 gin cutting a few sprays, taking care, 

 however, not to cut the plants weak. They 

 will gradually throw heavier shoots, 

 which may be trailed for strings. After 

 their season in the bed you can expect to 

 cut about two strings per plant during a 

 season. 



A bunch, put up for market, should 

 contain twenty-five sprays. 



Cinders and drain tiles may be used to 

 good advantage in preparing the beds. 

 Plumosus, Sprengeri and smilax can ad- 

 vantageously be grown together in such 

 a house as you have mentioned.

STORED DAHLIA ROOTS. 



If you find any dahUa roots that have 

 signs of decaying, remove them at once, 

 carefully scrape all decayed matter off, 

 rub the newly cut part with a mixture of 

 dry soil and lime and place back into 

 storage, says the monthly bulletin of the 

 New England Dahlia Society. See to it 

 that the roots do not shrink or dry up; 

 this will happen if you keep them in a 

 place that is warmer than it ought to be. 

 A good remedy is to cover your roots 

 with newspapers and wet down the paper 

 with a fine rose spray; this will produce 

 enough moisture to swell up the roots 

 and make them solid. Let in fresh air 

 as much as possible, particularly during 

 the noon hours of pleasant days, and do 

 not allow mold to form at any time. If 

 mold is present rub the infested spots 

 with drv soil.
