for exhibition, 3 to 6 of the shoots which are pro- 
duced from the joints can be retained and the 
remainder taken away. Keep these growing shoots 
free from insect pests, etc., with the usual spraying 
and retain the crown bud on each shoot. 
If required for cut-flower or garden decoration 
no thinning or disbudding is necessary after stop- 
ping. 
The ground should be kept free from weeds by 
frequent hoeing and applications of weak liquid 
manure or a balanced fertilize1 (2 oz. per sq. yd.) 
may be applied alternately every week or 10 days 
until the buds begin to show color, not longer. 
I sometimes add a tablespoonful of equal parts 
superphosphate and bone meal in hole for each 
plant at time of planting. 
Unless the ground is well drained, dig up plants 
in the fall and winter them over in a cold frame or 
a dry sheltered spot outside where they can get 
air—not in a basement.
