138 How TO Geow Cut Flowers. 



known as some but one highly prized by those who 

 love variegation in color. The ground work of lemon 

 white, daintily bordered with pink, gives us a shade not 

 found in any save Watteville, and superior to that va- 

 riety in both coloring, productivness and ease with 

 which it is grown. Like many others it is better suited 

 for summer flowering, being seen at its best in early fall 

 and spring. To be made profitable in winter, it should 

 be given a shallow bench near the glass, and grown in a 

 night temperature of from 65° to 68°. It is one of the 

 best keepers we have and exceedingly productive. 

 Those desiring to grow Meteor, and not wishing to plant 

 an entire house of it, will find this to do well in the 

 same temperature, the three south rows of a middle 

 bench, as well as the south bench itself, being well 

 adapted to its growth. Pierre Guillott is another of 

 this class though different in color. It may not re- 

 quire quite so high a temperature as the former, but 

 should not be grown at less than 63°. This also is a 

 better summer than winter rose. 



Madam Watteville succeeds well with only a few 

 growers ; Avith me it does best in a soil and temperature 

 suited to La France, but burns easily and needs care- 

 ful watching and the glass clouded slightly, as soon as 

 the sun commences to take strong effect. It should bo 

 allowed to expand well on the bush before cutting, 

 placed in water and kept twenty-four hours before being 

 offered for sale.
