The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Jandaet 28, 1909. 



are rather difficult to grow in the short- 

 est days, but later are a comparatively 

 easy crop. It takes over three months 

 to get a crop to bearing from the time 

 seed is planted, but they do not need to 

 occupy the house for more than about 

 six weeks from the time they are benched 

 until they are bearing. 



Their Culture. 



The seed should be planted in flats 

 and transplanted as soon as well up, 

 placing them about two and one-half 

 inches apart in other flats or on a bench. 

 After they get to be about three or four 

 inches tall they should be potted into 

 4-inch pots and kept there until ready 

 to plant out. When young the plants 

 require good care and should not be 

 overwatered. They should have a fairly 

 good soil, new, clean and well drained. 

 When placed in the benches they should 

 be planted about fourteen inches apart 

 in the rows. An ordinary rose or car- 

 nation bench, about four feet wide, will 

 take two rows nicely, placing them about 

 ten inches from the edges of the bench. 

 A 6-foot bench will take three rows. 

 They are not very particular about soil. 

 A good, ordinary greenhouse soil will 

 grow them well. 



There are few insects that attack pep- 

 pers. They like a night temperature of 

 about 60 to 63 degrees, and about 15 

 degrees higher on bright days. A little 

 ventilation should be given each day 

 when the thermometer gets up around 

 70 degrees. The longer the ventilation 

 is kept on the better, if the temperature 

 is right and no draughts wave the foliage. 



Euby King and Bull Nose are about as 

 good as any for inside use. H. G.

If seeds of trees have been sown in 

 the fall and no protection in the shape 

 of manure or leaves has yet been given 

 them, no more time should be lost in put- 

 ting some such covering over the ground. 



It is not wise to prune trees or shrubs 

 whUe the wood is frozen, but on mild 

 days this work should be pushed ahead. 

 Grape vines should be trimmed now, 

 rather than wait until spring, when bleed- 

 ing is probable. 



The wild raspberry is often despised, 

 whereas it should not be, because when 

 planted in almost any kind of soil or sit- 

 uation it thrives admirably, and flowers 

 profusely for the greater part of the 

 summer.

The Engelmanni spruce, which is 

 found growing on the high mountain 

 slopes from British Columbia to New 

 Mexico, makes a serviceable pulp wood. 

 Tliis spruce has not been considered a 

 valuable lumber tree and has only been 

 used for lack of better material. 



Persons intending to plant Kalmia 

 latifolia should not do so in very sunny 

 situations, or before many weeks the 

 plants will have a scorched appearanoo. 

 This is especially true with regard to 

 plants brought from the woods. Plants 

 that have been grown in nurseries will 

 naturally succeed better in every way. 



HARDY SHRUBS FOR CUTTING. 



"Will you kindly give me the names of 

 hardy shrubs for cut flower use, such as 

 give a good flower which stands the hot 

 summer months pretty well and which 

 lasts quite a while after being cut? I 

 should like to have such varieties that 

 after one is through blooming I can 

 start to cut on the next. I am located 

 in Pennsylvania. H. H. 



The following varieties can be safely 

 recommended as being among the best 

 for the purposes required. There are, of 

 course, many others which can be cut, 

 but the subjoined list pretty well covers 

 the ground: Forsythia Fortunei, April; 

 Spiraea Thunbergii, April; Prunus tri- 

 loba, P. Sinensis rosea pleno, P. Sinensis
