BULBS FOR EASTER. 



When should I bring my hyacinths and 

 tulips from the cellar to bloom for 

 Easter? Thev are now up half an inch. 



L. C. 



Keep your tulips and hyacinths in a 

 cold cellar or pit until three weeks or a 

 month before Easter. A temperature of 

 50 degrees at night will bring them into 

 flower within that period. Watch the 

 cultural calendar in the Review- for fre- 

 quent references to these and other 

 Easter plants. C. W. 



VINTER BLCX)MING PLANTS. 



I would like to know when cinerarias, 

 primroses and verbenas will bloom from 

 seed sown October 2, and kept in a 

 greenhouse with a temperature of GO de- 

 grees during the day and 45 degrees dur 

 ing the night. I have just transferred 

 1,000 plants into 3 inch pots. How should 

 I treat them to have them bloom quick? 

 I live in West Virginia. G. C. H. 



October is late to sow any of the 

 seeds named. Even in your latitude 

 cinerarias and primulas will amount to 

 but little, I am afraid. The best you 

 can now do is to allow them to flower in 

 comparatively small pots. The natural 

 blooming time for Chinese primroses is 

 December and January, cinerarias follow- 

 ing February and March. It will not 

 pay to carry along the verbenas. It 

 would be far better to sow seeds in Feb- 

 ruary. These will give you splendid 

 plants to set out in early May. 



For another year I would advise you 

 to sow the primulas in March and thus 

 secure good flowering plants for Christ- 

 mas sales. Cinerarias do better sown 

 after torrid heat is pa«it. Get them in 

 from the middle to the end of August, us- 

 ing a coldfrarae or bench in a north 

 house for the seed flats. Verbenas are 

 of little value for winter flowering, as 



there are so many other plants of su- 

 perior merits for this purpose. Cinerarias 

 want a cool house without sunshine, 40 

 to 45 degrees at night in winter. Primu- 

 las must be broken from direct sunlight, 

 but will do well 5 degrees warmer than 

 the cinerarias. C. W,
