perfectly dry and endeavor to keep it dry 

 where you have sashes over them. Plants 

 outdoors are better not covered at all 

 until the ground is frozen hard. Then 

 cover them, but only lightly, with leaves, 

 hay, straw or pine needles. It is not the- 

 early winter frosts which injure these so 

 much as the constant changes in March, 

 which keep the ground alternately thawed 

 and frozen. 



Pfopa8:atio£. 



The propagating bench or benches 

 should have had the sand and drainage 

 renewed and, now that there is a nice, 

 steady bottom heat, propagation of many 

 plants can be effected. Any bedding 

 plants of which there is an insufficient 

 stock can now be readily increased. Be 

 sure to give such subjects as crotons, 

 coleus, achyranthes, etc., a bench with 

 more bottom heat than is necessary for 

 verbenas, ageratums, chrysanthemums or 

 carnations. Provided the bench has 

 ample drainage and sand of the right 

 porosity, there is far more likelihood of 

 underwatering the cuttings than the re- 

 verse. More cuttings, it is safe to say, 

 are ruined by being kept too dry than 

 too moist. It is not sufficient to merely 

 damp over the cuttings. Give the bench 

 a watering each day which will thor- 

 oughly wet the sand and your cuttings 

 will appreciate it. 



G>tnpost. 



Before the winter sets in it is well 

 to lay under cover a generous supply 

 of loam, decayed manure, leaf -mold, sand 

 and other soil constituents. It is not a 

 pleasant task to go foraging for supplies 

 with the thermometer at zero and the 

 ground thickly covered with snow, as is 

 often the case. If it is not possible to 

 house a suliicient supply in sheds which 

 are heated, lay at least a goodly quantity 

 under cover, if only in an open shed, 

 where rain and snow will not reach it. 



In December there are often mild 

 spells when it is possible to plow up or 

 cut a supply of turfy loam to stack up 

 for next season's supply. A good plan 

 is to make a square pile and add one- 

 fourth as much cow manure as there is 

 loam. This, if chopped down and turned 

 over in spring, will make an excellent soil 

 for mums, carnations and many other 

 plants. 



DON'T VAIT. 



A subscriber has sent the Review a 

 marked copy of the local newspaper con- 

 taining an obituary notice and also sends 

 a postal card on which he wrote: 



Probably you have heard of this, but I send 

 It anyway; If everybody waited for the other 

 fellow yon would not get it at alL 



The Beview appreciates the thought- 

 fulness of its readers in sending it not 

 only important items, but those of minor 

 importance as well. It has happened 

 that because someone thought * ' Oh, well 1 

 They know all about this," and did not 

 act on his first impulse to drop us a line, 

 or send us a wire, we altogether missed 

 an important piece of news. Don't sit 

 back and wait because you think some 

 other fellow has sent in the same piece 

 of news. Important matters should be 

 reported by wire if mail will not arrive 

 Wednesday. Telegrams containing news 

 matter only are accepted by the tele- 

 graph companies at a special rate, if 

 marked * * Collect press rate. ' ' The night 

 rate is half the day rate.
