SOWING OANNA SEEDS. 



For the benefit of those who sow 

 canna seeds or any other hard seeds 

 that must be cut, I should like to state 

 how I do it. Just take one of those 

 small emery wheels and touch the seed 

 against it while you turn the handle 

 with the other hand. Zip! The hole 

 is cut. In two weeks seventy-five per 

 cent of the canna seeds I sowed were 

 up. Benjamin J. Passmore. 



Detroit, Mich. — ^P. J. A. Huhn, of 

 Huhn & Koerber, 513 St, Aubin avenue, 

 reports that the firm has gone out of 

 business. 



of moisture, the cuttings should be 

 rooted and fit to pot off in four or 

 five weeks. Keep them close for a few 

 days until they become established; 

 then stand them on a bench in any 

 house with a minimum of 65 degrees. 



Genistas. ^.*^ 



The genistas wanted for Easter should 

 now go into a cool greenhouse. They 

 should never be subjected to any 

 forcing, or they will speedily go to 

 pieces when placed in a flower store, and 

 much quicker in a dry living room. The 

 cooler that genistas, ericas and acacias 

 are grown, the more substance will their 

 flowers have. If a batch of cuttings 

 has not yet been put in, place in sand 

 now. A propagating bench which roots 

 carnations and mums is just what they 

 want. These will make good stock in 

 6-inch pots for next winter.
