GAMMA

IN HE Gamma, or what was commonly
known as Indian Shot, comprised
Il about a dozen distinct species
These, however, have been of little use
from an ornamental point of view and
have been confined chiefly to botanical
collections; but the magnificent hy-
brids which have been raised from
them are among the most snowy and
ornamental of plants for the summer
garden.
The first specimens of the Gamma hy-
brids were introduced in France over
fifty years ago; some very good plants
with beautiful foliage were then pro-
duced; but it remained for the garden
ers during the last twenty-five years
to produce the excellent forms which
are so popular in thousands of gardens
throughout the world today. The orig
inal types are no longer used, their
progeny having become thoroughly
mixed with garden forms. The result
has been a new race with flowers OF
every shade of color, among them being
red, scarlet, yellow, orange and bronze
with intermediate shades, many OF
them distinctly washed and botched
with other colorS.

The amaryllis delights in open. sunny
places The bulbs should be planted
about eight inches deep in a rich, mel
low loan mixed with sand. Good
drainage is very essential; this can be
secured by placing a layer of gravel,
broken pieces of brick or mortar, be-
low the surface of the soil. A mulch
of COW or sheep manure placed about
the plants during the summer season
will be found beneficial, especially
when the plants are growing freely.
Water should be applied generously,
and after passing through the mulch
serves a double purpose, stimulating
the plants for greater and better
blooms

CULTURE

Cannas are very easily grown. They
like a rich loan, well enriched with
good fertilizer. An open, sunny sltua-
ton should be selected for them. Inc
roots can be secured at this time ana
we find it an advantage to start the
growth by placing the roots in shalloW
boxes or pots, protecting same in the
cold frame or hotbed, until the plants
are fairly well furnished with leaves,
when they may be planted in the open
ground where they are to remain. This
is not absolutely necessary as the roots
can be placed directly into the open
beds.
After planting, especially iii the case
where roots have been started in ad-
vance cover the soil with layer OF
fine wel-rotted manure and give a
thorough soaking of water. This VIII
enable the plants to become estab-
lished more quickly and will stimulate
the growth.
During our dry season the plants can
hardly have too much water, and where
one desires the clean, luXuriant foliage
and brilliant blooms, watering should
not be neglected. 1t is better to water
in the evening and better results can
be secured if liquid manure is applied
once or twice a week, when the plants
are making their most vigorous
growth
Cannas are easily grown from seed
if planted in warm place. when
plants are large enough to handle they
can be transplanted to pots or shallow
boxes and grown for the first season so
as to make good plants for the garden
the following year The seeds, being
very hard, sometimes take long time
to start; but if soaked for three or four
days in tepid water before sowing ger
mination will be greatly hastened.
The moderate prices charged for good
strong roots of the best hyrid cannas
does not warrant the time and labor
necessary to produce the plants from
seed. However, buy the stock of re-
liable dealer.
The graceful habit and beautifully
tinted foliage with its wealth of large
blooms make the Gamma not only Tor
namental but a very useful plant Tor
the home garden. Grown in masses IN
beds on the lawn, or near the water,
or even in borders about the garden,
they present a most picturesque ap-
pearance. AS there is a great deal of
variation in regard to height it is ad-
visable when planting not to mix tall
and dwarf varieties Unfortunately.
Place the taller varieties in the center
of a bed or at the back if planted on
the side of the lot. Care should be
taken not to plant too closely or they

THE DAHLlA


LITTLE over a hundred years ago
IN the dahlia was taken from its
IA wild or native home in Mexico
and introduced to the flower breeders
of the world Great changes have
taken place since it fell into the hands
of the professional gardeners, but 1t Is
owing, no doubt, to the ease with
which it has been induced by cult
walton to produce double flowers. TO
day we have seven or eight dlstlnct
classes, while the numbers when are
considered distinct enough for namln
run into the hundreds.
Single Dahias
Single dahlias are recognized by
disc of tubular forets, surrounded by
the larger and more snowy forets. For
MANY years the single-foWe1e damn
were neglected, owing, perhaps, TO the
rapid progress made in developing new
forms of double flowers. OF late years
however, they have again come INTO
favor, and in many ways they are
equal to the double forms IN peauty
and general outline.
Show DahIias
Show dahlias include all self-colored
double flowers and all shaded mowers
or those having the petals pale ana
edged with a distinct color, such "a
pink, purple, crimson, etc.
Cactus Dahlias
Cactus dahlias or decorative dahlias,
were introduced about thirty years
ago and attracted but little attention.
Since then, however, they have de-
veloped some of the choicest dahllas
in cultivation. The cactus dahlla Is
recognized by the more or less pointed,
starry-shapped, single and double
flowers.
Pompon or Bouquet Dahlias
Pompon or Bouquet Dahlias are a
class with small and perfect double
flowers. The plants are dwarf and
more compact in CROWN lhaIl llloSe VI
the other classes.
our garden dahlias as a whole seem
to have been evolved by continually
crossing and intercroSsing, and there
is nothing to prevent still greater I'M
provement in this favorite flower thah
has been made during the past thirty
years.
Culture of the Dahlia

there is hardly sufficient room. WIN
the advance in growth the SHOOTS
should be securely tied to strong

in position at planting time and thus
avoid any possible injury to the roots
later.
All weak growth should be removed
so as to give all the strength possible
to the remaining shoots and blossoms.
During the summer months give a
