GERANIUMS FOR SPRING SALES. 



How late should geraniums be propa- 

 gated in central Ohio to come in bloom 

 not later than June 1? How many stock 

 plants, that were 4-inch stock planted 

 in ground this spring, should be used to 

 make about 5,000 plants for next spring? 



C. L. H. 



You do not state what class of stock 

 you want for sales about June 1. As a 

 general rule, plants in 4-inch pots have 

 the best call. Cuttings for these can be 

 taken during September in your state. 

 It would be better to wait until toward 

 the end of the month. Each of these 

 cuttings, when rooted and potted oflf, 

 will give you a good cutting about the 

 end of January or early in February. 



The question as to how many stock 

 plants would be required is difficult to 

 answer. Everything depends on the 

 growth the plants have made, but you 

 should be able to get not less than twenty- 

 five cuttings per plant; sometimes far 

 more than this can be had, but often 

 less. If you had fifty stock plants 

 growing in a bench in a greenhouse and 

 could take cuttings from these as pro- 

 duced during the winter, they should 

 give you the necessary number of plants. 

 "With double that number you would have 

 an abundance. Of course, expert prop- 

 agators can get a far larger number of 

 plants than those named; overpropaga- 

 tion cannot, however, be recommended. It 

 only causes a deterioration in the vitality 

 of the plants. C. W. 



NICOTIANA SYLVESTRIS. 



Kindly tell us when to plant seed of 

 Nicotiana sylvestris, and also as to tem- 

 perature and soil and when they will 

 bloom. B. F. C. 



If wanted for summer flowering in the 

 garden, seed may be sown in March in a 

 frame or greenhouse and planting out 

 done about the middle of May. The 

 seeds germinate quickly and the seedlings 

 grow extremely fast. It is, therefore, a 

 mistake to sow this annual as early as 

 you would many slower growing sorts. 

 For indoor culture this variety has little 

 to recommend it. The foliage is quite 

 handsome, but the flowers are less at- 

 tractive than those of N. Sanderse, or the 

 hybrids of N. affinis. C.
