NEEDED QUANTITIES OF SEEb. 



About how much seed will I need 

 of each of the following flowers, for 

 2,000 plants of each: Begonia Vernon, 

 Lobelia Emperor William, pyrethrums, 

 and Cineraria maritima'!' B. O. 



To produce 2,000 plants of the varie- 

 ties named you should sow one-fourth 

 ounce of Lobelia Emperor William, one- 

 half ounce of Cineraria maritima, one 

 ounce of Pyrethrum aureum and one 

 60-cent packet of Begonia Vernon. 

 These amounts should give you an 

 ample supply of plants, but, of course, 

 careful seed growing, in suitable com- 

 post, and, above all, good seed, count 

 for a great deal. C. W. 



Minneapolis, Minn. — W. D. Desmond 

 says it has been a struggle to keep the 

 Donaldson greenhouses from freezing 

 up this winter, with day after day that 

 the temperature outside ran 20 degrees 

 below zero.
