THE FLOR/IL IVORLD. 



(Concluded from page 23.) 

 wood and chips had been piled, also 

 a small quantity of sand. 



I have kept the soil loose around the 

 vine, using liquid fertilizer, as with the 

 hibiscus. It is now eight feet long, 

 the foliage is beautiful and is budding 

 for fall blooming. 



Mississippi. Mrs. W. R. Pope. 



THEY WANT TO KNOW. 



How can I keep dahlias over win- 

 ter? Mine have been grown from seed 

 this year. Please tell me also about 

 cannas' from this year's seeds, and 

 how I ought to treat my tuberoses to 

 make them bloom. I have one two 

 years old which has never yet 

 bloomed. 



Nebraska. 



I had four large amaryllis plants last 

 fall, but three of them were touched 

 by frost and did not bloom. All were 

 put out doors in seven-inch pots and 

 have grown a wonderful display of 

 foliage during the season, but have not 

 bloomed, and I do not want them to 

 bloom until winter. 



Now, should I turn down these pots 

 and let the bulbs rest, or would it be 

 best to let them retain their foliage 

 and bloom just when they will? Will 

 some one who has had experience with 

 amaryllis please answer at once. 



Louisiana. Hart. 



How shall I make my Egyptian 

 lotus bloom? It is now three years old 

 and has never bloomed. How shall I 

 keep through the winter my ponderosa 

 lemon, water lilies, and jasmine? 



Nebraska. Mrs. Clara Wallin.
