 the approval of many of our best Carnation growers.

 osa, April 4th. Our March 15th delivery of White Wonder and March 15th and 27th delivery of Gloriosa were all

STOCKS UNDER QIASS. 



Will you please give instructions 

 when to plant stocks, what kind and 

 how to handle for the best results in a 

 greenhouse? Will they grow well in 

 the same temperature as carnations? 

 Will they do best on benches or in the 

 ground? A. H. B. 



Stocks for culture under glass can 

 be sown any time from the early part 

 of August until April. If sown now, 

 you would get flowers in June. Had 

 they been started by the beginning of 

 March, they would have flowered for 

 Memorial day. There are a number of 

 special forcing varieties for winter use. 

 White Column, pure white, and Beauty 

 of Nice, soft pink, are excellent for 

 spring and early summer flowering. 

 Nothing beats the Giant Ten Weeks', 

 the most popular colors being white, 

 delicate pink and lavender. For Me- 

 morial day trade the bright colors are 

 in strong demand. 



Sow the seeds in pans or shallow 

 flats of light soil, with plenty of sand 

 in it. If you use sand freely, there is 

 less liability of the seedlings damping 

 oflf. Pot off singly when of sufficient 

 size and later transfer to beds or 

 benches. For winter blooming, bench 

 culture is much to be preferred. For 

 later flowering, beds will answer 

 equally well. Any good compost, such 

 as will grow carnations, sweet peas, 

 violets or mums, will answer for stocks. 

 Pull out the single flowering plants as 

 soon as they can be detected; they are 

 almost valueless as cut flowers. Allow 

 the Giant Ten Weeks' nine inches be- 

 tween the plants and fifteen inches be- 

 tween the rows. The early winter sorts 

 can go 8x8 inches, as they branch 

 little. A temperature of 48 to 50 de- 

 grees suits stocks; anything higher is 

 not to be recommended. Purchase only 

 the best imported seed, as cheap seed 

 will give you too large a proportion of 

 single flowers. C. W. 



Greenwich, Conn. — James Campbell, 



vice-president of the St. Louis & San 

 Francisco railroad, is making extensive 

 improvements on his estate at Mead's 

 Point, including the erection of green- 

 houses.
