ThcWcckly Florists' Review. 



May 2, 1912. 



GARDENIAS FOB CHBISTMAS. 



Please state whether gardenias in 

 2%-inch pots can be forced into bloom 

 for Christmas, 1912, and kept blooming 

 until Easter. Any instructions as to 

 how to prepare the soil and grow them 

 will be greatly appreciated. 



B. E. S. 



Gardenias which are now in 2i4-inch 

 pots should be moved into 4-inch pots, 

 and later into 6-inch pots. In the latter 

 size they can be flowered for Christmas, 

 provided you have the necessary heat 

 to give them. In order to flower them 

 well at that time, the plants must have 

 a house kept at a minimum tempera- 

 ture of 65 to 68 degrees in winter. 

 Pinch back the shoots in order to secure 

 shapely plants, discontinuing this at 

 the end of July. Gardenias like some 

 bottom heat, and if you can stand your 

 plants where they can get some, they 

 will be less likely to get the yellows 

 and will bloom earlier. For compost, 

 three-fourths fibrous loam, from which 

 the finer particles have been shaken out, 

 one-fourth old dried cow manure and 

 a good dash of coarse sand and fine 

 charcoal will be found excellent. When, 

 they are well rooted, feed moderately 

 with liquid manure; or, better still, use 

 Clay's fertilizer as a surface dressing. 

 Avoid excessive waterings, too much 

 feeding or sharp changes of tempera- 

 ture, as any one of these will cause 

 buds to drop. 



Give your pots good drainage, use 

 rather coarse compost, water carefully, 

 syringe freely to keep mealy bug in 

 check, use some bottom heat and a 

 brisk top heat and you should get a 

 nice lot of gardenia blooms for Christ- 

 mas. These same plants, however, 

 could hardly be expected to furnish 

 many blooms for Easter. A batch 

 grown 5 degrees to 8 degrees cooler in 

 winter, however, would flower well at 

 that date. C. W. 



Orlando, Fla. — The business of J. F. 

 Luther, on North Orange avenue, has 

 been incorporated. The incorporators 

 are: J. F. Luther, president; M. M. 

 Stewart, secretary and treasurer, and 

 Hugh C. Allen. 



Cheyenne, Wyo. — Charles F. Sway- 

 ger, who in addition to doing a florists' 

 business has been gardener at Fort 

 Russell, has resigned that employment 

 to devote his whole time to his green- 

 houses and the downtown store he plans 

 to open.
