THE FLORAL WORLD 



INQUIRIES. 



Will some reader tell me how to 

 make tuberoses bloom? ]\Iine have 

 bloomed only once in six j'ears.

Will the readers of The Floral 

 World tell me how to care for the New 

 Century Caladium during the winter? 



Ohio. D. P. O. 



I have twenty-two roses which I 

 expect to care for in the house during 

 the winter. Can some one tell me 

 what treatment they should have? 

 Some of the varieties are Burbank, 

 Ohio, The Queen, Admiral Schley, 

 Bessie Brown, Helen Gould, Winter 

 Gem and others. I would be glad also 

 to know what to do with Australian 

 Lille Oak. 



Missouri. O. P. 



I have a hybrid tea rose seven years 

 old, which has stood our winters fif- 

 teen degrees below zero, and has 

 never failed to bloom until last year 

 and this. It gets killed every winter 

 almost to the ground, but comes out 

 fresh in the spring with its loads of 

 bloom. It has been growing in a dark, 

 rather heavy mesquite soil until last 

 year, when I took it up, in May, with a 

 good lot of soil around the roots, and 

 put it in a bed of vary dark marl and 

 a little more sandy soil than it had 

 been growing in. It has grown luxuri- 

 antly, throwing up new canes over 

 two feet high, and the foliage looks 

 rich and healthy, but never a bloom. 

 Can some one give me a probable 

 cause and cure? I have a violet bed 

 on north side of house, just common 

 wood violets brought from the woods
