but cheesecloth or papers, which are 

 readily removed, are all they need. 



Propagation. 



Keep the propagating benches well 

 filled. There is still pretty steady fire 

 heat and the sand will keep of a genial 

 warmth, excellent for propagating coleus, 

 heliotropes, alternantheras, crotons and 

 other foliage plants, lemon verbenas and 

 many other plants. Where there is less 

 bottom heat, chrysanthemums, verbenas, 

 petunias, carnations, hydrangeas, varie- 

 gated vincas, lobelias, rambler roses 

 (from half ripened wood), ericas, genis- 

 tas, acacias and diosmas are among those 

 which can be readily rooted. If you are 

 short of English ivy, now is a suitable 

 time to insert a good batch of this also. 



Freesia. 



The bulk of the freesias will now be 

 done flowering. As a general rule, these 

 are now cut close to the soil, in order to 

 secure long stems for market. When 

 such is the case it does not pay to carry 

 the bulbs over. They may be of good 

 size, but their returns will be disappoint- 

 ing the next season. If, however, you 

 have used the flowers with short stems 

 and have not sacrificed too much foliage, 

 you can get just as fine flowers next 

 year, provided you allow them to ripen 

 oflf gradually on a sunny shelf. A com- 

 mon practice is to stand them under the 

 benches as soon as the flowers are cut 

 This means that they are to remain in a 

 more or less saturated and sour condition 

 and be the abiding place of any larvas 

 w^iich may care to locate there. If you 

 cannot spare space to properly ripen the 

 bulbs, it would be far better to throw 

 them away and buy fresh each season. 

 Purity is now the variety par excellence, 

 at $6 to $8 per hundred, which good 

 stalks have realized right along the pres- 

 ent season. It pays better to grow it 

 than almost any other bulb. 



Feeeport, Me. — G. Edward Bartol, 

 who hitherto has grown only outside 

 vegetable crops, has now built a green- 

 house for vegetable forcing. 



DiOHTOx, Mass. — The greenhouse 

 owned by John Tavis, of Brock street, 

 was badly damaged by fire February 15. 

 The house was stocked with cabbage and 

 tomato plants. There was no insurance. 



Oswego, N. Y. — George L. Munroe & 

 Sons, dealers in ashes for fertilizers, say 

 that orders come to them faster than 

 they can be filled, so that they are 

 obliged to decline a part of the business 

 offered.
