GREVILLEA THELEMANNIANA. 



Is it possible to handle Grevillea 

 Thelemanniana without a great loss after 

 rooting? I am in the market to know. 

 I can root them easily enough h6re in 

 southern California, but when it comes to 

 potting, my troubles begin. I put in soil 

 of three parts loam, one part sand and 

 one part well rotted manure, in 2-inch 

 pots, then stand these on a bench which 

 has a little bottom heat, in a house at 70 

 degrees day and 50 to 65 degrees night 

 temperature. I handle roses the same 

 and lose a great many. I do not plunge 

 and water every day. Please put me on 

 the right road if there is one. C. G. 



Grevillea Thelemanniana is one of the 

 most beautiful trees grown and is some- 

 what delicate to handle until extra well 

 rooted. I have had the best success with 

 them by letting the cuttings remain sev- 

 eral weeks in the bed after they are ap- 

 parently ready to pot. Trim the tops 

 back after they are potted and do not 

 keep them too wet. I do not use any 

 manure in the soil, preferring to mix one- 

 half sand, one-quarter leaf -mold and one- 

 quarter loam. Keep the young plants 

 well shaded during the day, but give 

 them some ventilation at the same time. 

 The temperature is all right at night, but 

 I am inclined to keep it about 65 de- 

 grees during the day, if this is possible 

 to do. 



I have had the same trouble as C. G. 

 many times, but I finally concluded that 

 I did not allow the cuttings to remain 

 long enough in the cutting bed and also 

 that I was inclined to overwater them. 

 Recently I have had no trouble with G. 

 Thelemanniana, or rose cuttings either, 

 although it is a constant worry with our 

 changeable climatic conditions. Watering 

 and ventilation depend so much on the 

 changes in the weather that any stated 

 rules cannot be made that will cover 

 dark, foggy and bright, sunshiny days 

 at the same time, although we get sev- 

 eral of each usually every week during 

 this season of the year. G.
