STOCK FOR WINTER BLOOMING. 



At what date should carnations be 

 planted in the benches for winter 

 blooming? What temperature is re- 

 quired? Will plants in 2-inch pots be 

 sufficient? When should one-year-old 

 roses be benched, for winter blooming? 

 What temperature do they require? 

 Can roses, carnations and geraniums be 

 grown successfully in the same house? 



G. W. C. 



It is of little consequence on what 

 date you bench your carnation plants 

 from pots, but it is of the greatest im- 

 portance that the plants be given 

 proper care up to that time, and that 

 they be of normal size and vigor for 

 the date on which they are planted. 

 If your plants are still in 2-inch pots, 

 as your letter indicates, you are about 

 two months behind right now. If your 

 plants are ready for a shift, plant them 

 on the benches at once; or, if the 

 benches are not ready, repot them into 

 at least 3-inch pots and arrange to 

 bench them just as soon as they are 

 ready for another shift. Your pros- 

 pects for a heavy, early cut of blooms 

 from these plants are slim. 



The benching of rose plants for win- 

 ter bloming is in order now. If the 

 plants are available, the sooner they 

 are benched the better. But do not 

 try to grow roses and carnations in the 

 same house, as you can only expect 

 failure of one or the other. They are 

 not congenial in their requirements. 

 You can grow geraniums with either 

 roses or carnations with good success, 

 because the geranium is less sensitive 

 in regard to temperature, etc. 



A. F. J. B. 



Mishawaka, Ind. — C. L. Powell, on 

 North Margaret street, had a remark- 

 ably heavy trade in bedding plants 

 this season. His stock of geraniums, 

 which he had supposed would be suf- 

 ficient to meet all demands, was ex- 

 hausted and he was obliged to buy 

 some thousands »of plants. A fine mag- 

 nolia, in bloom, has been attracting 

 some attention at his place. 



Madison, N. J.— Charles H. Totty 

 states that he has given up his idea 

 of going to England this summer — 

 too much to do.
