Starting Tubers 
Besides the seeds which are to be 
started now, there are a number of bulbs 
and tubers that should be attended to. 
Get out the cannas which you saved from 
last fall, break the larger clumps apart 
and place them on moss, covering them up 
with sand and keeping them moist and 
warm until the buds start, when they can 
be cut apart and potted separately, instead 
of setting out whole clumps. Dahlias may 
be treated in much the same way; in sepa¬ 
rating them, however, a piece of the 
crown where last year’s stalk grew must 
be kept with each tuber. Like the cannas, 
you start them first in a mild heat before 
separating and cutting up the bulbs. Va¬ 
rieties that are scarce may be increased by 
making cuttings from the new shoots, 
which may be rooted and potted in the 
usual way except that care must be taken 
co cut them where there will be a bud at 
the base of the cutting, otherwise no tuber 
will be formed. If the sprouts are broken 
off close to the tuber, as soon as they are 
long enough to pot up, they will be suc¬ 
ceeded by others, so that from one clump 
of roots a number of plants will be had. 
In the small greenhouse which is not 
divided by a partition into sections where 
different temperatures may be maintained, 
it will pay to rig up a simple propagating 
frame in which to start cuttings and those 
seeds that need a higher temperature than 
that maintained in the main house. A 
further advantage of such a frame is that 
the air within it may be kept at any de¬ 
sired degree of moisture. A hotbed sash 
or one or two ordinary windows or storm 
windows, if available, will serve for the 
roof of such a frame. An upright at each 
end, with a cross beam between them, to 
which the sash or window may be secured 
by a couple of hinges with ends of wood 
or glass, will be all that is required. If 
this frame is constructed so that air from 
the heating pipe can get into it from the 
bottom, a difference of 5° or io° in tem¬ 
perature above that outside of the frame 
can be easily maintained. 
D'you remember “Cloverly and The 
House Next Door" that was published in 
the May House and Garden last year? 
It was months and months back, but 
people are still writing us letters about it 
-— people who love their gardens and were 
caught with the fugitive charm of this 
article. For next month, Fanny Sage 
Stone has written another article—“The 
Old Ballard Place’’—the story of a gar¬ 
den that was rejuvenated in the heart of 
a city. It is even more delicate and kind¬ 
ly than was “Cloverly.” You’ll like it.
