SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. 



[Concluded from page 11.] 



Christmas, when you will find them a 

 salable novelty. 



Poinsettias. 



Poinsettias also are euphorbias, but 

 the name poinsettia is the popular one 

 and likely to remain the one in general 

 acceptance. There is still time to put 

 in cuttings. Even as late as the early 

 part of September they can be rooted 

 and grown into nice, compact little stock 

 for pans. The dwarf pans are the ones 

 which always sell the best, as they carry 

 foliage close to the base and do not need 

 the addition of so many other plants to 

 make them move. Keep the cuttings 

 potted before they have a chance to be- 

 come hard, and shift the earlier batches 

 into pots or pans before they become pot- 

 bound and stunted. Poinsettias want no 

 shade at any time. It only tends to make 

 them drawn and soft. "Water with care; 

 too much or too little means poor foliage 

 and unsalable plants. 



Amaryllis. 



As the foliage on amaryllis commences 

 to turn yellow, gradually reduce the water 

 supply. For the best results the bulbs 

 are better kept under glass while in 

 pots. A sudden withholding of all water 

 is injurious to these, and, in fact, all 

 other bulbs. A too common practice, 

 once the flowers are cut, is to lay them 

 under the benches, out of the way. How 

 anyone can expect amaryllis to do well 

 with such treatment passes comprehen- 

 sion, for it takes practically the whole 

 summer for them to complete their 

 growth. An excellent way to grow 

 amaryllis, once they have reached the 

 flowering size, is to plunge the pots in a 

 bed of leaves in the greenhouse. A 

 striking contrast will be noted between 

 plunged and unplunged plants. 



Young seedlings which have not yet 

 flowered should never be allowed to rest 

 until the blooming stage has been 

 reached. These make fine bulbs and will 

 bloom more quickly if they can be plant- 

 ed in a bench. A good plan with bulbs 

 which are of flowering size, but not as 

 strong as could be deoired, is to plant 

 them outdoors for a season, lifting them 

 just before frost arrives. Even in the 

 more northern states there is some atten- 

 tion being given to hippeastrums or 

 amaryllis for late summer blooming out- 

 doors. We lately saw a fine block of 

 these, containing many hundreds of 

 bulbs, and the spikes were, in spite of 

 dry weather, almost equal to indoor 

 grown ones. They had the benefit of a 

 mulch of well decayed manure, but had 

 received no water whatever. 



Coleut and Altemantheras. 



Bather than lift a number of old 

 coleus and alternanthera plants, which 

 are veritable breeding haunts for mealy 

 bug, we like at this season to put in a 

 few flats of cuttings of each kind. In a 

 close frame or propagating house they 

 will soon root, £uid with one or two 

 pinchings will make nice stock for carry- 

 ing over winter and will furnish an 

 abundance of cuttings early in the new 

 year. 



The present is also a good time to in- 

 sert cuttings of any tropical plants used 

 for bedding purposes, of which it is 

 intended to increase the stock. Colored 

 dracsnas, crotons, dieffenbachias, acaly- 

 phas and similar subjects will root read- 

 ily now. What they want is to be kept 

 constantly soaked. The sand must never
