rContinued from page 141. 

 Seeds and Seedlings. 



Be sure to keep all seeds, until they 

 germinate, protected from the sun's rays. 

 Covering* with glass for fine seeds and 

 paper over this, or paper itself for the 

 larger seeds, is better than shading the 

 glass. Use the watering-pot with great 

 care and be sure that none of the little 

 seedlings are allowed to dry out. A few 

 hours' neglect may mean a heavy loss. 

 Go slow on using the hose among seeds 

 and seedlings. A careless man will speed- 

 ily ruin a host of little plants by 

 using it. 



The work of transplanting seedlings 

 should be taken in hand as soon as they 

 can be handled. It never pays to put off 

 until tomorrow what can be as well, or 

 better, done today. 



Vegetable Seeds. 



The average country florist has a call 

 for more or less vegetable plants each 

 season. They are easily raised, and there 

 is a good profit in them. Tomatoes, for 

 an early crop, should now be sown; 

 also celery, lettuce and cabbage. Sow 

 early varieties of these. It is rather 

 early yet to start melon, cucumber, pep- 

 per or eggplants in the northern states, 

 which are to be used outdoors. 



Rambler Roses. 



Rambler roses being grown for Easter 

 flowering should now be starting to show 

 the little flower buds in the ends of the 

 shoots. If tfiey are doing so, they will 

 be along in good season, if kept in a 

 night temperature of 55 degrees. If the 

 plants seem a little backward, give them 

 a warmer house for a few days. Look 

 out for mildew, which will rapidly dis- 

 figure and render almost unsalable the 

 finest plants. Dust with flowers of sul- 

 phur with the first appearance of it and 

 keep a little scattered on the main steam 

 pipe.

RHINEBECK, N. Y. 



As the pots will now be well filled 

 with roots if potted last fall, they will 

 be benefited by a little liquid manure, 

 which can be continued until the flowers 

 start to open. A top-dressing of cow 

 manure, not too g*^en, can also be given 

 with advantage. 



Allamanda Williamsi. 



AUamanda Williamsi might profitably 

 be more largely grown by florists. It 

 comes in well at a season when the 

 supply of flowering plants is limited and 

 there could be no more effective dinner- 

 table decoration than one or two low, 

 well-flowered plants. 



Allamandas, which have been reiting 

 during the winter, should now be shaken 

 out, and repotted in a compost of fibrous 

 loam, dried cow manure and sharp sand.. 



A dash of bone meal may also be 

 added. Trim the plants into shape a 

 little and start them in a brisk, moist 

 heat, using care not to water much at 

 the roots until growth has started. Soft 

 wood cuttings rubbed off with a heel will 

 root readily in a sharp bottom heat and 

 make nice flowering plants by August, if 

 kept growing right along. 



The Eeview can supply any horticul- 

 tural books at publishers' prices.
