CLEAN FLOWER POTS AND POTTING. 



To insure success, plants must 

 have clean pots, free from germs, es- 

 pecially clean on the inside. We 

 have inverted pots and sometimes in- 

 jured the fibers, by not first scouring 

 the pot before setting the plant. 

 Clean them clean and sterilize to kill 

 all germs by heating in the oven. 

 Bring the temperature up to 350 de- 

 grees, then cool gradually. Then the 

 ball of roots will hold perfect and the 

 plant change safely. 



Don't paint the flower pots. Why? 

 Because it fills up the pores of the 

 pot and stops that circulation of air 

 so beneficial to the little fibres, and 

 that is why clay pots are far superior 

 to other receptacles. 



In potting roses, oranges, figs, aza- 

 lea, camellia and palms and other 

 woody planes, after planting I take 

 an old potato masher and press the 

 soil around them, being careful not 

 to injure the roots. Water well. This 

 packing of the soil is almost a neces- 

 sity with this kind of plant, but not 

 so with watery, pulpy ones. 



While plants are growing, stir the 

 surface lightly and give sulphate of 

 potash. It hardens the growth; it is 

 in most all the box fertilizers in the 

 right proportion.
