AZALEAS FOR EASTER. 



When should azaleas be started to be 

 in bloom for Easter? "What tempera- 

 ture should they be grown in and what 

 treatment do they need? 



E. n. L. & B. 



It is much too early to think about 

 starting azaleas for Easter yet. Watch 

 the "Seasonable Suggestions" for hints 

 as to when they should be started. 

 Plants placed in a moderate heat, 50 to 

 55 degrees at night, about the middle 

 of January will flower in good season. 

 They can be started even later and some 

 varieties will flower within five to six 

 weeks, but hard forcing is not to be 

 recommended. Easter comes March 27, 

 and if plants required in flower then 

 are placed in heat about January 15, 

 they will be all right. Some varieties, 

 liKe Simon Mardner, Hexe, Deutsche 

 Perle, e'c, known as Christmas varieties, 

 will need no forcing at all. Hold your 

 plants just clear of freezing until they 

 are to be started. C. W. 



NAME OF PLANT. 



I send you under separate cover a 

 plant which I should like you to tell me 

 the name of. I have been calling it a 

 sun cactus and have advertised it under 

 that name. E. O. P. 



The plant is Mesembryanthemum con- 

 spicuum. A common name for mesem- 

 bryanthemums is fig marigolds. The an- 

 cient Greeks named them midday flow- 

 ers, owing to the flowers being expanded 

 when the sun shone on them at that 

 time. ^"
