lowed to flower and seed, these will 

 give an abundance of seeds of the 

 best germinating quality. The value of 

 this coreopsis planted out in a cool 

 house for spring flowering, or grown in 

 pots, which can be allowed to root 

 through into a bench, is not yet fully 

 understood. The flowers are four inches 

 across, golden yellow, petals overlap- 

 ping, and the stems are long. As a 

 Memorial day crop it is invaluable. 



The plants should be potted in late 

 fall and kept in a coldframe until the 

 end of January, when they should be 

 brought into gentle heat. The seedlings 

 come up quickly and should be allowed 

 nine to twelve inches apact in the rows 

 when transplanted, as they attain con- 

 siderable size before fall. The Cali- 

 fornian form, Eldorado, has extra large 

 flowers. The old lanceolata is not nearly 

 so good as grandiflora, the flowers being 

 much smaller. 



A NOETH COLDFBAME. 



What can I grow in a coldframe on 

 .the north side of my greenhouse? The 

 wall is five feet high. Would it be good 

 {for pansies and daisies? It does not 

 eet anv sun in the winter months. 

 * ^ H. C. G. 



Such plants as pansies, violas, myo- 

 sotis and daisies will winter all right in 

 such a frame as you describe. After 

 the soil about them has frozen hard, 

 ^ive them a covering of pine needles 

 or perfectly dry leaves and place sashes 

 iover them. Leave this covering on until 

 'the coil thaws out. During mild spells 

 [in winter, tilt up the sashes to let some 

 j.air in to the plants. So long as the 

 leaves or pine needles keep quite dry, 

 the plants will winter all right, but if 

 broken glass allows snow or rain to get 

 in, a number are likely to damp off. It 

 would be a good plan to place board 

 shutters over the glass during the cold 

 months. C. W. 



Palo Alto, Cal. — President Lathrop, 

 of the board of regents of Stanford 

 University, will at once commence the 

 erection of four iron-frame greenhouses 

 on his estate near this place.
