290 JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
the first week in July is late enough for this purpose in the south ; 
further north this second stop may not be necessary, and in the case 
of some of the later-flowering varieties it may even be necessary to 
anticipate the natural break by stopping earlier, thus inducing the 
bloom buds to appear at an earlier date ; this applies chiefly to plants 
being cultivated for the production of disbudded blooms. 
Plants for a supplementary display in the flower-beds or borders 
should be treated as already advised, lifting them soon after 
the flower-buds are well set. Needless to say, they should be well 
watered a day or two beforehand, and if a showery time is chosen so 
much the better, thereby lessening the check. Care must be taken to 
lift them with as much soil adhering to the roots as possible, water- 
ing them in well after replanting, and giving them a light spray over- 
head for a few days while there is any tendency to flag. Excellent 
results are obtained in this way. 
As mentioned at the outset, varieties are very numerous, some 
five hundred having been on trial at Wisley in 1914, and the certifi- 
cated varieties and Committee's selection will be found in the Society's 
Journal * for April 1915. This in itself is a good guide, but as varieties 
differ so much in different localities it is sometimes wise, before 
planting, to make a note of those which do well in the neighbourhood. 
However, I have been interested in this subject for a number of years, 
and venture in conclusion to give short lists of varieties for various 
purposes in the hope that they may be of service.
