The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



December 9, 1909. 



early garden, like radishes, and dug up 

 and planted directly to the fields, without 

 transplanting. If not sowed too thickly, 

 they will make nice plants for the field in 

 this way. 



Of the early varieties, I find the 

 Charleston Wakefield decidedly better 

 than the Jersey Wakefield and only a 

 few days later. 



The price per thousand for trans- 

 planted early cabbages is usually about $4. 

 It will depend largely upon what kind of 

 help you have for transplanting (which 

 is the greatest expense), whether or not 

 you can make much profit in growing 

 them for a factory. Plants from the 

 south I have found to be unsatisfactory. 



H.G. 



FORCING WATER CRESS. 



. Would you kindly give me expert in- 

 formation on the greenhouse (julture of 

 the true water cress? I want instructions 

 as to the kind of soil, the temperature, 

 the moisture, the distance apart to plant 

 and the general treatment. I am located 

 in southern Manitoba. R M. A. 



This is a crop which I have never tried 

 to grow in the forcing houses. In fact, 

 I have never seen it tried. Perhaps some 

 reader can give E. M, A. some pointers 

 on the subject. I, however, wish to say 

 that while it would be nice to have a 

 smfill amount for personal use, I doubt 

 if it could be produced and sold at a 

 profit as a forcing crop. 



It requires considerable .attention to 

 grow a good crop of it outside. Some 

 growers make a specialty of it in certain 

 localities. Running water is considered 

 necessary. Beds are prepared along little 

 streams, usually coming from springs. 

 Old plants are divided up and pushed into 

 the wet soil a few inches apart. When 

 the planting is done, the little stream is 

 dammed up so as to back the water up 

 over the bed, raising the water higher 

 as the plants grow, until it is about a 

 foot deep. Late in the fall, on frosty 

 nights, the water can be raised to entirely 

 cover the plants and keep them from 

 freezing, which would make the leaves 

 turn brown. The water is lowered again 

 in the morning, and in this way the crop 

 can be kept producing until well into the 

 winter. H. Q. 



Pana, III. — R. O. Henderson, propri- 

 etor of the Pana Greenhouses, has pur- 

 chased a piece of property, 120x160 feet, 

 at the corner of Chestnut and Third 

 streets, and expects to buUd a range of 

 greenhouses there. The new range wUl 

 be just one block from the business sec- 

 tion and will be much more conveniently 

 located than Mr. Henderson's present 

 houses.
