 this part of Kansas sometimes registers 

 10 to 12 degrees below zero.

Refer back to the Review of July 22, 

 page 9, and you will find under "Sea- 

 sonable Suggestions" some cultural notes 

 on pansies. To have plants for com- 

 mercial purposes next spring you must 

 procure and sow the seed at once. Do 

 not buy any cheap seed. You should 

 give from $3 to $5 per ounce for really 

 good stock. Of course, some strains are 

 much higher than even these prices, but 

 you can get a good strain at the fore- 

 going prices. In winter they can be car- 

 ried over either in coldframes or out- 

 doors, on sloping or well drained ground 

 where no water can stand. After the 

 ground freezes give them a mulch of 

 meadow hay or leaves. Over these throw 

 some light branches or corn stalks, to 

 hold the mulch from blowing away. A 

 thin mulch only is required.

intensely hot weather during the last 

 month has had the usual effect on trade, 

 causing poor business and a short supply 

 of good stock. Asters are the main reli- 

 ance at present, although some good 

 sweet peas are still coming in. None 

 of the local growers plant summer roses, 

 so we have to depend on shipped-in 

 stock. 



Variotu Notes. 



We have not heard of a single person 

 from this part of the state who will at- 

 tend the convention. President Wirth, 

 of the State Association, is on the Pa- 

 cific coast, where he attended the con- 

 vention of park superintendents. Even 

 the genial A. S. Swanson, who has been 

 attending conventions for twenty years,
