STORING SMILAX ROOTS. 



Can smilax roots be wintered in the 

 cellar of a residence? "W. P. T. 



There will be no difficulty in wintering 

 smilax roots in a residence cellar, pro- 

 vided the temperature is kept well above 

 freezing and they are not allowed to get 

 too dry. 



VERBENAS FOR SPRING SALES. 



"Will you tell us the proper time to 

 plant verbena seed to have them in bloom 

 for Decoration day? Can cuttings be 

 ■wintered over in coldframes if protected 

 from heavy frosts? A. W. F. & S. 



If sown from the middle to the end of 

 March, the verbenas will be of good size 

 and starting to flower in an average 

 night temperature of 50 degrees. Cut- 

 tings can be successfully wintered in a 

 coi>^-i.rame if it is properly protected. 

 A little frost will not hurt them. Damp- 

 ness must, however, be guarded against. 

 Air freely on every favorable oppor- 

 tunity. If shut up for several days in 

 succession the plants will become moldy 

 and soon rot. C. W.
