DIOOINa AND STOBINQ BULBS. 



I should like to know whether it is 

 all right to dig bulbs, such as daffodils, 

 amaryllig, gladioli, etc., after they are 

 through blooming. What care ia neces- 

 sary to keep them from drying, after 

 digging? I am located, you will notice, 

 not far from San Francisco, Cal. 



F. A. P. 



Daffodils need not be dug unless they 

 become too crowded, in which case they 

 can be taken up as soon as their foliage 

 has matured, and stored in boxes in a 

 cool, dry shed or room until fall. Gla- 

 dioli do better if lifted and replanted 

 each season. Take them up earl^ in 

 November, cut the stems back to within 

 four or five inches of the bulbs and lay 

 tft«^m on shelves in any cool storehouse 

 which keeps above freezing. Amaryllis, 

 in your locality, need not be dug up 

 at all. Unless you want the bulbs for 

 sale, leave them alone; they will flower 

 all the better for it. Like other bulbs, 

 l^hey should not be dug while their 



fol 



lage IS green.

robusta, at least forty feet high, were 

 moved to the grounds from south of 

 the city. The architect's plan of the 

 entrance called for a pair of palms that 

 would tower above and behind the 

 building and these meet the conditions 

 exactly. In the orchid house I noticed 

 some good flowers of Odontoglossum 

 grande and O. Bictoniense. 



Another large consignment of kentia 

 seeds arrived last week at the ware- 

 house of the Germain Seed & Plant Co., 

 from Australia. The first shipment had 

 been all taken up immediately on ar- 

 rival. The seed arrived in elegant 

 order. The last of the cold storage 

 Lilium giganteum has been cleaned up, 

 but the firm is lucky in holding a large 

 stock of first-rate valley pips, which 

 are naturally meeting with a good de- 

 mand. 



Smith & Dieterich's formal opening 

 is booked for next week.
