SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. 



(Cdiitinucil I'rciin Paire IS.) 

 they arc cninmonly known, slunild not lie 

 kept in a dust-dry condition during win- 

 ter. They want Just sul1i(dent moisture 

 to pre\iiit tlu'in from shia\('ling, and at 

 the same time keep them fnmi starting 

 into grow til. They carry over well in 

 a teniperature (if 45 to .lo degrees under 

 a bench net too near iieating pi[ies and 

 where they will not get wet feet. A 

 shed where they can he jiacked in tiered 

 shehcs is an ideal plaee for wintei-ing 

 iheni. 



Fancy Caladiums. 



The foliage on caladiums i> eoininenc- 

 ing to die down .and it is ad\isalile to 

 gradually redui-e the water sujiply. I >o 

 this r.ntiier than lay the pots on their 

 sides at onre. There are far too many 

 gro^vers who persist in drying gloxinias, 

 begonias, gesneras. fancy caladiums and 

 similar plants ;is ■-non as the llowois or 

 tolia^e ^iiow signs of fading. A grad- 

 ual drying oil' ensures good, firm bulbs. 

 The other coarse mi'ans that dry rot will 

 jirolialily be the lot of many. (Jaladiuins 



do not n 1 to be wintered in a higher 



tem|ieratui*e than ."."> {<> (iO degrees and 

 ^iioiilil not be laid near b(dlers or luit

Ten Weeks' Stock. 



The demand for st(i(d\s in the markets 

 is somewhat uncertain. They are an 

 easily grow II flower and can be jirodiiced 

 and sold pidlil.ably at a comparativ(dy 

 low |iiice. A batih of seed sown now 

 ^vill gi\e soiiie useful material early in 

 the new year. Sow in ll.ats and jiot off 

 singly when Large enough to handle. In 

 planlirig out from Hats to the benches, 

 the little plants do not st;iit .as when 

 in pots. It therefore jiays to pot off 

 singly lather than jiii(k into Hats. Smdi 

 \;iiielies as ^\'ilite ('oliimii, l^eauty of 

 Nice and several sh.'oles of large tlowcr- 

 in;^ ten weeks' are .all yooil for forcing. 

 To ]irevent damping (dV ol' seedlings, 

 cover the surf.-ice of the Hats with sand 

 ami keeii on a litiht shelf. 



Myosotis. 



If you lia\e rooted a few (aittings of 

 myosotis and have them in small pots, 

 plant them along the edges of the 

 benches where your snapdragons or 

 stocks are planted. They will grow and 

 Hower well in sin h a position. There is 

 a moderate demand for bunches of for- 

 get-me-nots in winter and early spring, 

 ami it can be used to advantage in de- 

 sign work where this |iarlicnlar shade of 

 blue is wanted. .\l. distil illora is the 

 most iis(dul \aiietv for forcdnji'. 



j It is ptittiiig it mildly to say the Re 

 viKW is I ho most helpful and most in- 

 I stru('ti\(' jiaper I liave ever read. AVIien
