stocks can be placed quite thickly
together, and need not be planted.
Insert the cion of the kind required
into the feshy part, or what should
be the base of stem or above ground
growth; even smaller parts OF
healthy roots will do. All that has
to be done is to lightly whip the two
parts together with mating or raj
fla; no wax or similar material is
necessary, unless, by preference, a
little moss be used afterwards. But
when all the roots are SO served and
placed closely together, this taking
the place of soil. Keep moderately
moist, and give a bottom heat of 70
degrees and top heat of IS to rs de-
grees. Pot up when the graft begins
to grow. This work can be going on
all winter.
Cuttings.-Bring one or twoyear
old stock plants into greenhouse in
the fall, and begin by giving tenn
perature of so to SIS degrees, in Jan
uary and February 60 to Is degrees.
The young shoots should be cut in
March, and given good shade for the
first eight days. Further treatment
Should be similar to that given roses.
In three weeks the cuttings will be
rooted; they should then be planted
in pots, not too large about two to
2h inches--an slowly Injured TO air.
layers of wistaria. Every IL inches
makes small cut to help make
roots, and with small hooks tighten
the layers in the ground. A 5-foot
shoot should make about three to
four layers. This work can be UNI
dertaken when the first wood from
outside is ripe in July or August.
In October cut the layers in parts
and plant in pots or frames over
winter.
Seeds.-The seed will ripen in fall,
it should be gathered over winter
and mixed with sandy earth, and
kept in a house or frame until life is
seen, and then sown. Only persons
who have the knowledge and time
should raise seedlings. There now
exist over 300 variet ties, which can
only be distinguished by the micro
scope. For instance, Ramona, Sic
boldii, and Boskoop Seeding are ONE
and the same flower. If there were
only 20 or 25 varieties on the market,
the growers would not be so often
disappointed. A large field is open
here for the right man. A good yell
low and csarlet are yet wanting.
Clematis is now being cultivated
in different parts of America, and al
though the plants are weak they
will do better than the imported
stocks and give better results.-Al

seeds terminate freely if planted in
pots or boxes of rich, mellow soil.

winter will bloom the next summer

rarely seen in plants grown from

The best time for ross-fertilizing

filled with rare and beautiful plants,
| did "miss them," sadly, when we
first came to live ON our homestead"
in Florida.
The pretty wild flowers that fringe
the lake shores, and the gay purple
brighten the woodlands reminded me
of, and made me wish the more earn
estly for, my beautiful and fragrant
garden pets. So [ determined to
procure those l loved most. But [
was advised not to try this Gin the
garden or put that in the yard
because this would not stand the
summers sum-" and that ''wouldnt
survive spring drouth," and the
other had not proved ''suited for
SOIL" ETC.
Notwi tbs tanding this kind counsel
ing, from those to whom / should
have hardened, I continued procuring
the plants and flowers I'd been famil-
lar with in other states; for [ felt [
them unless, by personal effort. [
became convinced of the inadvisabil-
ity of attempting their culture here.
AS a matter of course, failures far
outnumbered successes. But | am not
going to tell of failures-this time
nor even of partial successes, but of
richness and beauty coming in re-
turn for the meagre attention be-
slowed upon chrysanthemums and
cannas.
Many of us remember when chry
santhemums were given only "back
seat in the gardens-but real worth
wins it's way to recognition, and SO
'the bravest flower that blooms" now
stands beside "Her Majesty" the
"Queenly Rose" rivaling her in all
save fragrance.
Some of my earliest childhood's ex-
periences had taught me that this
dear old favorite was not particular
as to soil or location; and my little
playmates and | had written it's name
"christannamums," ON our list of
good to grow and good to pick
flowers. | cannot now recall any
place l visited, before coming to this
neighborhood, where I did not find
varieties of chrysanthemums. Not

that plants were not listed in
Messrs. Pike & Ellsworths catalogue
of ''Florida Flowers and Fruits" [
concluded that they were to be num-
bered among the ''unsuitables," for
''Florida's sun and land"
Fortunately ''sober second
thought'' convinced me that this
conclusion did not tally with former
experiences. Last spring I procured
a number of plants-not from north
ern florists who priced them beyond
my reach-and placed them in yard
and garden; some under partial
shade, some in sunniest spots, and
some meath a thinly-vined scupper-
nong arbor. The past summer was a
very trying one; particularly so for
newly set plants which had not

drouth and heat came upon them.
