Planting Seed.

Some people are continually COM
planning that they have no luck in
raising plants from the seed. ''Why,"
said lady recently, 81 plant my
seed in boxes very carefully and keep
the soil moist, and put the box in
shady place." That is the trouble.
The box is put in shady place and
it does not get the warmth of the sun
to help terminate it, and before it
does it rots. Large seed like peas or
corn would not be affected this way
but many of the flower seeds are so
delicate that one has to handle the
package with a great deal of care or
in boxes and keep them moist, but
put them where they will get all the
sun there is to be had. We have
planted all kinds of flower seeds in
this way and have no reason to COM
plain of our ''luck" A great ma jOr-
ity of flower seeds will come up if
81 to So per barrel. But what sud-
ure in from five to six days. Pansies
require from nine to ten days. The
requisites to successful seed germina-
ton is proper heat and moisture, and
it is few seed indeed that want to be
kept in the shade for their best de-
velopment.

Culture of the Black Gala.

A writer in the October Mayfower
says:
''For years I tried unsuccessfully
to grow the Black Gala, because [
did not understand it's needs. I
think now that [ did not use any in
telligence in growing it. A thing
seems so easy when one has learned
how to do it.
"To begin with, it's name led me to
think that it should have the same
treatment that one gives the common
Gala, therefore when the other Cal
las were ported the Black Gala went
into pot also. In time few leaves
came up and died down again. The
second years trial gave no better re-
suits. Then a new bulb was sent for
and [ tried potting it when the other
bulbs were potted in October. Very
soon-too soon-the top began to
grow and L had to bring it into the
light. The growth was unhealthy in
every way, the leaves small and too
weak to stand upright.
''Last fall [ sent for another bulb,
kept it carefully until it showed signs
of growth, in fact until the shoot
was an inch long, then potted it in
the same kind of soil that 1 use for

But we have never yet seen yard
with too many flowers or lady that
said she had too many roses. We
have had few weeks of 'Roses" and
have other manuscript on the same
subject that we will present later.
They will be better appreciated then.
Our premiums have brought out
some good articles and the editor has
heard from them in many ways. We
find find that quite a large circle OF
the Agriculturist's readers are lovers
of flowers and watch eagerly for any
thing that may give them informa-
ton or pleasure in reading. One of
our contributors has suggested that
if we continue to give premiums
that we take up bulbs. 1t is with
pleasure that we do this, and will
continue our premium offer. There
is so much that can be said about
dubious plants that we find it hard
to settle on just what subject would
be best. Florida has added many
beautiful dubious plants to the al
ready long list and many florist of
the North has had men hunting the
hammocks and river banks for bulbs
that were richly illustrated and glor-
iously described in the pages of their
catalogues. When the bulbs are dug
they are shipped in barrels and fire.
quently did not net the gatherer over
$11 to So per barrel. But what a sud-
den change. When the barrel once
reached the store house of the florist
they were worth oh, so much! The
handsome illustration and magnif-
icent discripti caused them to be
worth from 25 cents to ST per bulb,
they we're carefully wrapped in oil
paper and treated with considerable
care. How tenderly they are cared
for by the purchaser and how happy
the owner felt when the bulb paid
for the attention given by sending
forth it's beautiful flowers. We have
known people in Florida to send

for them, when they could have gone
into the hammocks and found all
they wanted. But then, it may be
cheaper in the end to send North and
pay a fancy price, than to take the
time to hunt the bulbs unless one
really enjoys plant hunt in the
tangled hammock, and our almost
impenetrable river banks.
Then again there are great many
dubious plants that will do well here
that are natives of different chimes
than our own, sowe finally concluded
to divide our premiums on bulbs.
First, the subject ''Native dubious
plants, their home, habit and Guilt
walton" will be taken up, and then
we will ask for articles on dubious
Towering plants for Florida" The
first articles are to embrace the flow
ering bulbs that are found growing
anywhere in the state, and which can
be cultivated and add to the beauty
of our yards, porch or rooms. The
latter articles are to be devoted to
the varieties and culture OF bulbs
other than natives that do well in the
the state. We are going to make
these premiums little broader than
the others. The prize winners can Sc
lect from any catalogue published in
the United States, the different
amounts of premiums in bulbs and
forward to us, and we will order them
sent direct. The prizes are as fol-
lows. For the best article on 'Flor-
ida's native Towering dubious plants,
their home, habit and cultivation"
First prize, $500 worth of bulbs
and one years subscription to the Ag-
riculturist.
Second prize, $500 worth of bulbs
as above.
Third prize, $1,oO worth of bulbs
as above.
All articles should reach us before
the 9th of December, so that an
nouncement of premiums can be
made on the 10th. Articles received
after the 9th will not be considered
as competing. We hope there will be
as much interest taken in the Bulb
prizes as that of the Rose, for they
are much easier grown and give
great deal quicker returns.

manure--placing first good drainage
of charcoal and stones, then a layer
of the soil, and then the bulb, which
[ covered full two inches with loan.
The pot containing the bulb was put
away in cool dark closet in the Gel
lar, until the pot was full Of roots
and the first leaf had nearly devel-
oped. The plant was gradually
brought to the light, like other bulbs,
given a moderate amount of sunlight
and watered sparingly with luke
warm water. Sometimes it needed
water every day, at other times once
in two days would be often enough.
Frequently it was taken into the kit
chen and carefully washed to keep
the green fly away.
"The bulb grew four healthy
leaves, then a bud which developed
into a perfect flower, one SO lovely
that friends were sent for to enjoy it's
beauty with me. The spadix was jet
black, the spathe dark rich maroon
so very dark that the real color only
showed in strong sunlight. The foil
AGE is beautiful | think, the color a
rich dark green and the veinlng OF
the leaves very delicate. The leaves
come out rather small and grow
larger as they grow older. The bud
looks very like leaf when it first APP
pears, but it's rapid growth soon
shows that it is really the longed-for
bud. Ten days developed the perfect
flower counting from the morning
the bud first showed itself. A slight
ly unpleasant odor is the only objec-
tionable feature of the blossom, but
unless one is peculiarly sensitive it is
not much noticed unless one deliber-
ately smells it to see if it is really
disagreeable The bloom is short-liv-
ed, lasting only a few days.
''Two things must be remembered
in cultivating the bulb; first, to wait
until it is ready to grow, and second
to place it deep in the pot as the
roots start from the top of the bulb,
and grow up instead Of down. Water
should be given at the top until lit
tie runs through, then no more
should be given until the top seems
dry.
''Aftre Towering the bulb must be
ripened like other bulbs, and put
away for future use. Whether mine
will be of use another year [ cannot
say, but [ shall certainly buy new
bulb and try to grow another Black
Calla."
"[One of the most prolific causes of
failure with the Black Gala is the
failure to realize that it is a winter
bloomer only. 1t will not bloom at
any other time of the year.-Ed.
