THE FLOWER GROWER'S GUIDE. 



Plant firmly, a foot or more apart, in slightly raised beds. If this is done early in 

 August grand plants will form before wintry weather sets in — an important point to 

 secure. Any put out late should have the soil made firm about them, after having been 

 loosened by frost. In the spring support the flower stems with neat stakes and green 

 carpet thread, avoiding bundling them up together — a common but most unwise 

 proceeding. Not being wanted for show, no thinning of buds is necessary, though 

 disbudding greatly improves the quality of blooms that may be required for a special 

 purpose. A long succession of flowers is produced by these healthy young plants.
