THE FLORAL IVORLD

last of August for early flowers, and 

 then every three weeks, with the large 

 Dutch hyacinth, the tulips, the nar- 

 cissi, and a host of other bulbs, the 

 last to be planted in the beds, Christ- 

 mas week, will give lovely blooms 

 after all other bulbs are gone. The 

 potted bulbs can be kept in a dark, 

 cool place and brought up as needed. 

 For a succession of flowers, give the 

 calla a small pot or two large bulbs 

 for a ten-inch pot, get muck, fill two- 

 thirds full, set the bulbs in and put in 

 good garden soil. This will bring 

 great, fine blooms. This muck is the 

 best soil for all lilies, and if one 

 ^'ants blooms and not leaves, give a 

 medium-size pot for all. These will 

 give fiowers from now till late spring.

All palms, ferns, dracaenas, ge- 

 raniums and all plants that are in- 

 tended for winter decoration and 

 blooming should have the top soil to 

 the roots taken off, and rich soil of 

 lialf coarse sand and garden soil with 

 old manure put on. Water well and 

 set in half shade till September, then 

 l)ring in for a quantity of lovely flow- 

 ers all winter. Pot the linum trigy- 

 num and fountain of gold this month. 

 Take up the brugmansia and pot now, 

 giying root room and plenty of water 

 and sunshine; this will give you 

 quantities of its great, fragrant bells 

 all winter long. Try the schizanthus, 

 ^sowing the seed any time from now 

 on, for the lovely orchid-like clusters 

 of flowers all winter. Cherianthus, 

 sown now, will give one lovely sprays 

 of wallflower-like blooms. If you 

 wish the sweet old lilac and the showy 

 hydrangea, take up now, with clump 

 of soil, and put in cellar, where they 

 will not get too cold, keeping damp 

 and taking off all the leaves. If want- 

 ed for Easter blooming, bring up a
