THE GARDENING WORLD 
December 16, 1905. 
Rosa gallica, which are largely employed in some 
parts of the country for this particular purpose. 
Two small Irish Yews, one at each end, would 
he highly suitable for such a purpose, or you 
might employ some of the forms of the Lawson 
Cypress, such as Cupressus lawscniana erecta 
viridis, or C.l. Allumi, or the oriental Cypress 
(C. orientalis). 
Narcissus not Flowering. 
Last year I planted bulbs of Narcissus in pots 
and kept them in a window indoors. Though 
there was a, plentiful supply of leaves, only one 
or two flowers appeared. Could you suggest the 
reason for this? (Hampshire.) 
We presume that the pots were kept too far 
from the glass, and with little or no air, while 
the temperature might have been too- high for 
their welfare. This is a common failure with 
such hardy plants in windows, and we should 
advise you in the future to stand them as near 
the glass as possible, and to ventilate during the 
day in mild weather. You have not told us 
what sort of treatment you gave them to com¬ 
mence with. After being potted up, they are 
usually covered with coal ashes, cocoanut fibre, 
or something of that sort until they have com¬ 
menced growth. The mistake lies in the fact 
that the plants are allowed to grow up through 
the fibre before the pots are uncovered. This is 
a mistake, as it draws up the leaves unduly. If 
this does not apply to your Daffodils, then we 
should say it was entirely due to the want of 
light and air. 
Tomat 03 in Pots. 
Some time ago, you gave a picture of Tomatos 
in pots or tubs standing near the house. Please 
give me some directions how this can be done. 
(Raymond.) 
Tomato seed should be sown about the second 
or third week of March, in heat, and potted off 
singly as soon as the plants have made the first 
rough leaf. They should have plenty of ventila¬ 
tion, with a fair amount of heat, so as to keep 
them growing steadily and sturdily. They should 
be hardened off by placing them for a, time in a 
cold frame, and standing them out of doors about 
the end of May, or the beginning of June. They 
might be stood out earlier, provided the weather 
is mild, but at first they may be stood in a 
sheltered place until the weather does become 
mild. Pot them on as they require more room, 
stake them, and keep them to a single stem. 
Seed Potatos. 
Will you kindly inform me in your next issue 
where I can obtain some seed Potatos Duchess 
of Cornwall mentioned in last issue, and oblige. 
(A. Bywater.) 
The- article which you have just been reading 
contains the name and address of the Potato 
grower from whom you may obtain seed. Various 
other seedsmen, however—in fact, all the prin¬ 
cipal ones—would have this variety of Potato, or 
could procure it for you. You should name it 
Kerr’s Duchess of Cornwall when making inquiries 
about the same.
