CAMPANULA MEDIUM. 



Can you tell me if Campanula Me- 

 dium will bloom this year? I have a 

 lot of plants with eight or ten leaves 

 on them. They were planted late last 

 autumn and have been kept so cold 

 they have not grown any. Would they 

 bloom if planted in the greenhouse 

 after the violets are taken out? 



J. A. L. 



If Campanula Medium, or Canter- 

 bury bells, as they are popularly called, 

 were not sown until last fall they will 

 be too small and weak to flower this 

 year. In order to secure sufficiently' 

 strong plants for flowering the succeed- 

 ing year, seed should be sown not later 

 than May, and April would be better. 

 Start the seeds now in a flat and prick 

 off in other flats, later planting the 

 seedlings out a foot apart in nursery 

 rows, lifting thorn in October.

SPLIT LILIES. 



Will you please tell us the cause of 

 our Easter lilies splitting? M. & ('. 



Sudden drops in temperature, such as 

 moving the plants from a temperature 

 of 65 degrees to one of 45 degrees, are 

 liable to cause si)litting. Excessive 

 feeding will also cause more flowers to 

 come split. If you keep your plants 

 from the start at as even a tempera- 

 ture as possible, water carefully, feed 

 moderately and gradually lower the 

 temperature for the plants as they 

 start to open, there should be few or 

 no split flowers. C. W.
