TEN WEEKS' STOCKS. 



I forgot to sow ten weeks' stocks 

 until too late to have them in bloom 

 for Memorial day. I have them now 

 planted outdoors. Can I make use of 

 them next spring by potting them next 

 fall and taking them into the house, 

 or will it be better to throw them away 

 and sow new seed? How shall I treat 

 them to have them in bloom for Me- 

 morial day? J. M. 



The stocks in question will undoubt- 

 edly flower for you outdoors. It never 

 pays to lift stocks; they are hard sub- 

 jects to move, anyway, and they would 

 flower much too early for Memorial 

 day. To have plants in flower at this 

 date, start seed of the early Giant ten 

 weeks' variety at the end of February. 

 Pot off singly when of sufficient size, 

 using for compost loam, leaf-mold and 

 a little old manure, and bench them 

 before the roots become too much mat- 

 ted in the pots. A night temperature 

 of 45 to 50 degrees suits them.

South Framingham, Mass. — Lemoine 

 Bros., formerly in business on Concord 

 street, have sold their property, com- 

 prising sixty-two acres of land, the 

 greenhouses, etc., to a syndicate of 

 three men in this city, who will lay out 

 the ground in residence lots.
