make splendid, shapely plants in two sea- 

 sons when planted out. They are easily 

 transplanted again, as they make but 

 small roots and do well when given 

 proper treatment in pots. If the plants 

 are in good condition, merely plunging 

 the pot in soil is all that is necessary to 

 have them salable for the second season, 

 in which condition they will make plenty 

 of flower buds. 



With azaleas, when they have been 

 overwatered or dried out so much that 

 they are not in a healthy condition, the 

 best plan is to cut them back somewhat 

 and plant them in the ground in a rather 

 shady situation. See that they have good 

 drainage and give them plenty of water 

 and it will be quite a surprise to see what 

 salable plants they will make a year later. 

 If they are inclined to grow unevenly 

 they can be pinched into shape and will 

 set almost as many flower buds as if they 

 were in pots. 



If the azaleas have not been neglected 

 and are received in good condition from 

 the florist, the best way to handle them 

 is as follows: If the weather is quite 

 cold, keep them under glass after trim- 

 ming them back somewhat, and about the 

 first of the warm weather plunge the pots 

 completely in an open bed, where they 



made that it has not proven to be a well 

 paying proposition during the last two 

 seasons. 



The May Seed Co. reports a heavy 

 trade in nursery stock, owing to the 

 early opening of the planting season. 



G. V. Bennett, of Dimond, Cal., is in 

 line with several houses of ferns and 

 poinsettias. His stock looks remarkably 

 well.

The Christmas tree men are in town

 handle trees as a side issue. Q. 



REVIVING POT-GROWN STOCK. 



What is the grower to do with azaleas, 

 camellias and rhododendrons that have 

 been overwatered or underwatered in a 

 florist's store and are returned when the 

 blooms have fallen? This is always a 

 puzzling proposition, especially when they 

 were originally flowered by some other 

 grower. Many times the plants have 

 been overf orced, in which case they might 

 as well be thrown out completely. In a 

 niajority of cases, however, with a little 

 extra attention they can be brought back 

 into good condition and put in shape so 

 that they will make salable plants for the 

 next season again. 



Ill the mild climate of California we 

 bave splendid success with this class of 

 stock, when planted in the open ground 

 and given plenty of water and a partially 

 "bady situation. They are not liable to 

 bloca so freely for the first couple of 

 Reasons, however, when this is done. So, 

 '* 't is desired to force them again, this 

 procedure should be dispensed with. 



^'hen a camellia has been overwatered 

 and 13 in ^ sickly condition, or when it 

 °a« lieen given too little water, which is 

 U8U: ly the case, by all means take it out 

 ^ 'le pot and plant it in the open 

 ^or.T,,j. Camellias want a great deal of 



atM' and fertilizing, and I have seen 

 ^e t.ioBt miserable looking, misused pot- 

 PovTi stock that it is possible to imagine

will get plenty of air, light and moisture. 

 Keep the tops in shape by pinching them 

 back and, if the pots are too full of roots 

 when they are tj^en up in the fall, give 

 them a larger size and shift under glass 

 again. Azaleas do well in a lath house, 

 but, although they make plenty of foliage, 

 they will not set as many buds as when 

 they are kept in the open. 



With rhododendrons the best plan it 

 not to try to fiower them in pots a second 

 season, but to plant them out in beds 

 that are partially shaded. They do not 

 stand trimming like azaleas and camel- 

 lias, and although a season or two will be 

 lost as far as flowers are concerned, they 

 will make splendid specimens and can be 

 taken up and boxed as soon as they show 

 another set of buda. O.
