POINSETTIAS. 



Please aihise the ]iro|ier treatment I'ur 

 pdinsettias from this time until market

 tiiev arc .showing <iro\vth. How slionld 

 these nitfinos lie handled .' .1. W. S. 



As Soon as the cuttiniis are two and 

 onedialf to three iiiehes loii<;', riili I hem 

 of! with a heel; dip them at once in s mie 

 liowdercd chareoal to stop the lij<'ediii(,r. 

 Place them in a jiropasatinj,^ bi'Keli where 

 the sand is rather <fritty. So iux>, success 

 ful jTvowers prefer niixinjf some fine char- 

 coal in the sand. Keep them well watered 

 and c.arefnlly protected from sunshine. In 

 a warm lioiL-e they will he rooted in three 

 to four weeks. Pot them off singly \\hile 

 the roots are small.* If allowed to remain 

 uiilil the roots ar^' several inches long, 

 thev are jialile to become broken, and the 

 •nttiiiiis oet hard and fail to, start well 

 after poltino-. Use leaf luiild ;iiid loam 

 with some sand at lirst jiotiiiiL;' and keep 

 in a close, \varni house. Pater they c;iii 

 be grown in a i-ooier lioiisi', or e\eii in 

 coldfr.anies, succi ssfully. 



If you want to grow the jdants in 

 benches for Cutting, jilaiit out before tiiey 

 gi'i too nuich potboiind, A compost .^iidi 

 as suits chrysanthemuins answers well. .V 

 house whii-h can be kept at (in to <i.1 de 

 grees at niylit after the bracts show is 

 necessary if you want tine heads. 



If wanted for pans, later )irop;ig.it imi. 

 say from .lime 10 to .liily l.'. is .sulli 

 cieiitly early. Any rooted now would be 

 come much too tall before flowering time. 

 Fine single lu^ids can be grown in ti inch 

 pots, averaging fifteen to eigliteen inches 

 across. For the last shift use a compost 

 of fibrous loam, dry cow manure and 

 sand, adding a little fine lione. Pot firmly 

 and do rot feed until the bracts show. 

 Avoid dryness at the root, and soggine.ss, 

 each of which will cnise a lo^s of foliage. 



The plains, oiire established, want full 

 siiii all the t inie. ('. \V.
