Large Floivering Earlies 



Blooming from October 1st to 25th. For large flowers pinch 

 out top when about 10 inches high and allow two to four shoots 

 only to grow. When buds appear select the best and pinch off the 

 rest, allowing one bud to each stem, also all side shoots on stems 

 should be removed; stake plants when about 10 inches high. Set 

 plants one foot or more apart and in a sunny place with a shelter 

 from the north west winds. In order to have fine flowers it is 

 essential to protect from rain and high winds. This protection 

 can be afforded by covering with canvas or any water proof 

 material. 



Plants for early blooming should be set out from April 15th 

 to Mav 1st. The varieties I use are: 



White — Aconto, Smith's Advance, Smith's Imperial ; Yellow 

 — Golden Glow, Sunglow, Golden Queen, Chrysolora, Tints of 

 Gold; Pink — Earlv Rose, Pacific Supreme, Smith's Sublime, 

 Unaka; Bronze — Bronze Unaka. 



The Horticultural Society desires an enlarged members of 

 amateur gardeners and of persons whose love of flowers may be 

 shown by contributing the nominal annual fee towards the 

 Society's support.
