PERSIMMON SEED. 



Please tell me a good way to germi- 

 nate persimmon seed. P. L. D. 



Persimmon seeds will germinate read- 

 ily sown just as peach or apricot pits 

 are, viz., in nursery rows, dropping the 

 seeds a few inches apart in early spring. 

 The seed should be kept cool and damp 

 through the winter, rather than dry. This 

 insures earlier germination. If you only 

 wish to sow a few seeds, they can be 

 started in a cold greenhouse or frame 

 about April 1. These fruits cannot be 

 relied upon to reproduce themselves and 

 the plants will therefore require budding 

 when two or three years old. C. W. 



TO RETARD HYACINTHS. 



We have a lot of hyacinths, two bulbs 

 to a pot, which we want for Easter sales. 

 They are buried in coal ashes on the 

 north side of the house, and now have 



good shoots an inch or so in length. We 

 have mild winters in this locality (North 

 Carolina) and nearly every year just 

 before Easter we have a week or so of 

 warm weather, and it is almost impos- 

 sible to keep hyacinths from being in 

 bloom before Easter. Is it possible to 

 put these in cold storage about the first 

 of March and thus hold them back for 

 Easter? If so, how should they be 

 treated? Would they have to be buried 

 in ashes in the storage? What tempera- 

 ture? How long before Easter should 

 we begin forcing them? W. S. G. 



I would recommend you to stand your 

 hyacinths at once on the floor of a cold 

 cellar. They need not now be covered 

 with ashes. In such a place you should 

 be able to hold them back for Easter. 

 Give them a dark position for a time, 

 and more light as the tops lengthen. Any 

 temperature just above freezing will be 

 all right. Hyacinths will not require
