Greenville, Tex.— E. D. Barlow has 

 built an addition to his greenhouses 

 and has engaged a competent florist as 



an assistant. Mr. Barlow recently 

 completed the building of a large num- 

 ber of pecan trees. His place is well 

 arranged and attractive.

 ^ ^ SUGGESTIONS \ 



Freeslas. 

 The earliest planting of freesias 

 should have been made by this time. If 

 not, get them into pans or flats at once. 

 Large pans are preferable to flats, 

 those eight, ten or twelve inches in 

 diameter being suitable. These, when 

 placed on shelves in a carnation tem- 

 perature, give the finest possible results 

 and everyone who can get a batch of 

 Purity, now the freesia par excellence, 

 in for Christmas will get double the 

 prices prevailing at any later date. 



Primulas. 



Do not allow the primulas to become 

 potbound before potting them on. 

 There is more danger of this occurring 

 with the robust growing P. malacoides 

 and P. Kewensis than with the more 

 moderate P. Sinensis, P. stellata and P. 

 obconica. The best place for the plants 

 for some weeks yet is in a coldframe 

 and, while sashes are an advantage dur- 

 ing wet, stormy weather, when it is 

 hot and dry they are better removed en- 

 tirely, merely using the necessary lath 

 shadings over the plants during bright 

 sunshine. These can now be put on 

 later and removed earlier as the season 

 declines. Night dews are beneficial to 

 the plants, and one or two light spray- 

 ings daily should be given during hot 

 weather. Usually 5-inch and, 6-inch are 

 suitable pots for obconica and Sinen- 

 sis, but Kewensis and malacoides, while 

 they will flower in these sizes, are bet- 

 ter in 7-inch and 8-inch pots. They also 

 like compost a little richer than the 

 other sorts. 



Marguerites. 



Suitable cuttings are not procurable 

 on marguerites during the hot months, 

 but are now to be had and a good batch 

 should be placed in sand at once. These 

 can be grown into nice, bushy plants in 

 6-inch or 7-inch pots for spring sales, 

 but will hardly be in condition for Eas- 

 ter, 1913, coming, as it does, as early as 

 March 23. In order to have nice mar- 

 guerites at that date or earlier, we must 

 depend on older plants which have been 

 carried over in pots, and from which 

 flowers have been kept removed.. . These 

 should not be allowed to suffer from the 

 want of a shift, and be sure to give 

 them a rich soil. If your old ^ plants 

 were carried over in the field, lift and 

 pot them during the present month. Be 

 sure each has a good ball attached, and 

 keep them well watered and shaded for 

 a few days until they cease wilting. 



Bouvardias. 



Bouvardias are somewhat tender 

 plants and are better lifted during the 

 month of August if they have been 

 planted in the field. They should have 

 some ball attached or they will wilt 

 badly, even if they do not die alto- 

 gether or, at least, lose a lot of their 

 foliage. "While not grown to the ex- 

 tent of former years, there is still a 

 place for this flower. Particularly is 

 this true of B. Humboldtii, with large, 

 jasmine-like, pure white flowers. This 



variety is now coming into flower out- 

 doors and, if kept tied up to prevent 

 rain discoloring the flowers, will provide 

 some useful cuttings for some time. 



Transplanting. 



Advantage should now be taken of 

 every spell of suitable weather to trans- 

 plant all kinds of seedling biennials and 

 perenqials into nursery rows. The ideal 

 time to do this is after rain, and espe- 

 cially if the day is overcast. Such 

 plants as digitalis, delphiniums, sweet 

 Williams, coreopsis, campanulas, holly- 

 hocks, gaillardias and many others will 

 make quite strong plants before winter 

 sets in, if transplanted now and the cul- 

 tivator or hoe is kept steadily at work 

 among them. 



STEBILIZINa WITH AOIDS. 



We wish to sterilize the soil used 

 in our encumber and tomato houses last 

 season, and, as we heat with hot wa- 

 ter and do not wish to install a steam 

 boiler this season for sterilizing pur- 

 poses, we should like to know whether 

 it can be done with acids. If you 

 know of such ^|i ,inethod, please inform 

 us about it, $tat}ng, if possible, the 

 cost per bench. Our benches are 5x90 

 feet and are all solid, with eight to 

 ten inches of soil. Q.AF. 



While acids have been recommended 

 for purposes of sterilization in certain 

 experiments, they are hardly applicable 

 to greenhouse work. In the first place, 

 the method cannot compare with steam 

 in ease of application and practica- 

 bility. Second, it leaves the soil in 

 poor physical condition, a danger espe- 

 cially to be guarded against when the 

 soil in benches is used for successive 

 crops. Third, the soil is left acidic, a 

 condition unfavorable for the best plant 

 growth. For these reasons acid sterili- 

 zation could not be recommended for 

 your houses. 



In case you do not wish to install 

 a boiler for steam sterilization, it is 

 possible that a traction engine might 

 be connected up to pipes in the benches 

 and furnish enough steam for the pur- 

 pose. Fred W. Muncie. 



PAINTINa CONCBETE. 



Many persons have been desirous of 

 altering the gray surface common to 

 concrete walls and other structures of 

 cement, but there have been many dis- 

 appointments in the use of paints. 

 They seem to have a tendency to dis- 

 color or to peel. This is to be expected, 

 for the oil of the paint will make a lime 

 soap with the caustic lime of the cement. 



The use of silicate of soda is indicated 

 as a first coat. When dry, repeat,- and 

 when again dry, use oil colors. 



Goodland, Kan. — The Ooodland Flo- 

 ral Co. is getting into shape again after 

 a double misfortune. In January the 

 greenhouses froze up and, in June, 

 1,545 panes of 12x20 glass were broken 

 and the stock badly cut up by Tiail.
