THE FLORAL IVORLD. 11 



have callas, heliotrope, fucjisia, ager- 

 atum, asters. They are now ready 

 to transplant in small pots. The mid- 

 dle of April I will again transplant in 

 a bed made on the sunny side of a 

 high board fence, and covered' with 

 canvas. I will leave them there to 

 harden, until the middle of May. Then 

 they will be nice bushy plants, ready 

 to put in beds ready for them. In this 

 way I raise a great variety of plants.

ROOTING OLEANDER CUTTINGS. 



I have rooted four oleander slips 

 this summer. Two of them I placed 

 \ in fruit jars filled with water. I 

 placed a few pieces of charcoal in the 

 jar to keep the water sweet. They 

 had plump white roots in a few days. 

 The other two I bedded in moderately 

 rich soil on the east side of the house, 

 turning a fruit jar over each one. I 

 think they rooted as quickly as those 

 in the jars. Perhaps I should say that 

 I chose well-ripened slips, as I had 

 previously failed with young, sappy 

 ones, 



Texas. Mrs. V. H. Montgomery. 



SOME THINGS TO DO THIS MONTH. 



Chrysanthemums should not suffer 

 for water this month. They will need 



j staking and top dressing. When the 



I flower buds appear, begin using weak 

 manure water twice a week. 



Callas should be repotted this 



I month in well-enriched soil. Place in 



1 a shaded place until the roots become 



j established in the fresh soil. 



I Some old plants of fuchsias will 

 flower during winter if they are cut 

 back to within a few inches of the 

 ground and the soil washed from the 

 roots. Then pot in new rich loam, 



: water sparingly at first and keep 

 shaded until new growth starts, then 



i the morning sunshine will be benefi- 



; cial.
