Canterbury Bells. 



Canterbury bells can still be sown 

 if the seed has been overlooked. It 

 will be better, however, if they are 

 large enough for transplanting now. 

 They want much the same treatment 

 as digitalis. If sown in early spring, 

 they get too big, producing huge plants 

 which often decay badly in the fall. 

 Not only are these Canterbury bells 

 magnificent border plants, but their 

 value in pots is not half appreciated. 

 Grown in pots, they are vastly superior 

 to outdoor stock, and will last a month 

 in good condition in an ordinary dwell- 

 ing house. The double varieties are 

 too heavy, but the single and hose-in- 

 hose (calycanthema) sorts are beauti- 

 ful, especially the pure white, light 

 pink and lavender shades. Potted up in 

 late October, they can easily be forced 

 for Easter, or better still grown cold 

 and held for Memorial day, when well 

 grown pots will sell on sight. 



Brief Beminders. 



Pick off any flowers which may ap- 

 pear on the azaleas planted outdoors; 

 also pinch back any strong shoots. 



As the hybrid perpetual roses pass 

 out of bloom, cut off all faded flowers 

 and seed pods and remove any Manetti 

 or briar stocks. 



The hybrid tea roses enjoy plenty of 

 water during the summer months and 

 a mulch of old decayed manure, now 

 applied, will soon show beneficial ef- 

 fects. 



Do not forget the young plants of 

 stevia. Keep them potted along and 

 grow outdoors. Pot grown stock is to 

 be preferred to such as are planted in 

 the ground. 



Give the genistas a good shearing 

 every two or three weeks to keep them 

 thick and bushy. 



Poinsettia cuttings will now root 

 freely in a coldframe if shaded and 

 kept moderately close. Flats of sharp 

 sand should be used and when rooted 

 they should be at once potted. 



Look over the flats of freesias car- 

 ried over. Pick out the bulbs in two 

 sizes, the largest for flowering. The 

 small bulblets can be sown thickly and 

 will make fine flowering bulbs another 

 season. 



Use a good pressure of water through 

 a spray nozzle on the gardenias to keep 

 bugs in check. Avoid keeping the soil 

 too damp, or the plants will soon show 

 yellow foliage. 



Look over the pot chrysanthemums 

 thrice a week and pinch them. The 

 single stems will want close attention 

 also, and disbudding will soon call for 

 considerable time. Select a bench at 

 a time and do the work thoroughly. 



Plant out any left-over geraniums 

 or other bedding stock not now likely 

 to sell. Do not forget to adorn the en- 

 trance to your own establishment, as 

 too many do.
