LARGE COLEUS FOS SPBING. 



Please tell nie about how large coJi us 

 will get by spring if starteti from sl'ps 

 about the middle of September and kt pt 

 at a temperature of about 60 to 70 ile- 

 grees. Is there a good sale for eoleus 

 of this size in the spring? F. C. F. 



("oleus, if rooted about the middle of 

 September, kept potted along and given 

 a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees, will 

 make good-sized plants in 5-inch or (i- 

 inch pots before bedding-out time ar- 

 rives. I have never found much call tor 

 plants of this size and doubt if it would 

 pay you to grow them. (Joleus is a 

 rai)id growing plant, and 1 am sure it 

 will pay you much better to have a large 

 sui»ply in 3-ini'h or, at the outside, 4- 

 inch pots for your customers rather than 

 to grow larger ones. (J. \V. 



WHEN TO POT PANSIES. 



About what time should pansics lie 

 potted for spring blooming? 



F. C. I''. 



Pot the plants from the middle to the 

 end of March and stand them in a 

 violet house or any other cool green- 

 house C. VV.
