white, excellent on the jilant, for use in 

 vases on long stems or in floral designs. 

 The plant propagates readily from soft- 

 wood cuttings and we have five year-old 

 plants now carrying seventy-five to 

 eighty-five heads of bloom in the open. 

 Some of these are nine to ten inches 

 in diameter. Where white flowers are 

 wanted in summer, this is simply an in- 

 valuable shrub to grow. It will trans- 

 plant readily in either spring or fall, 

 and in order to make it produce big 

 heads, it should be pruned back each 

 winter in the same wav as 11. panicu- 

 l:it;t. 



Brief Reminders. 



I'uttings of crassula, coccinea, show 

 pelargonium, croton, dracania, panda- 

 IU1-. allamanda, Ficus elastica and F. 

 pandurafa will root easily now. Be 

 SUM- to keep the sand moist. Tlie two 

 fiiM named recpiire less moisture than 

 tlie i.thers. 



What about the roal supplv.' Di.l 

 vdu remember to order it while prices 

 Well' down.' They are now advancing. 

 Get your supply ordered and hauled, Tf 

 iidi yet done. 



< nttings of Lorraine begonias will 

 scon root now and it is not too late to 

 make nice 1 inch pot stock out of them. 



Have you remembered to onlcr vour 

 I'i'.ll' supply for the eoming fall?" If 

 nut. take a.lvantage of one of these hot 

 day-, lay off an hour or two and make 

 out your list. 



^pray chrysanthemums, gardenias. 

 palms and other plants freelv in hot 

 weather. Use the hose twice a'dav aho 

 on azaleas, camellias, genistas, ericas 

 and other plants growing outdoors. 



Keep late propagated hvdrangea^ 

 I'otted along. Give flowering plants an 

 abundance of wat.-r. Shade from brio-ht 

 sunshine. ° 



Damp the floors and paths frequentlv 

 m hot weather. It cools the houses. 

 makes a better growing atmosphere and 

 pr.'vents attacks of thrips and spider. 



<»rder mignonette and winter bloom- 

 mir sweet pea seed. It is rather too 

 ' arly to .«ow either of these vet, how- 

 ever.
