THE CULTURE OF cINERARIAs
sy q. oEoFRv.

In the culture Of the cineraria the
one mistake 30 often made IL that Of
sowing the seed too soon. The plants
thus raised, moro often than not. make
. rank growth; this II not in any sense
desirable. By sowing in May or June,
plants large enough for all decorative
purposes can be had. In after treat.
ment the aim should be to secure -
hardy growth as possible.
Cineraria IL one OF the most useful
and ornamental Of plants, with flowers
Of the richest and most brilliant COL.
ors and shades and Of the finest tex
lures.
For succession, 1t is well to make
sowings OF the seed from May to Sep.
tember. but the main sowing in July.
The cinerarfa IL very fine plant
for the conservatory and for house
decoration. The coloring Of this plant
endears It to growers; there are the
lovely and rare cornflower-blue tints
In profusion, rich crimson and blood

D. [. N. BENNINGTON.

Two thousand dollars was the
amount netted two young women last
year who raised violets for the New
York market. The girls started in
four years ago with . capital OF less
than $50 and about as little experience
as girls who have lived in the country
all their lives could have about any
thing growing.
Their first investment was IL un-
glazed hotbed sashes, 8 by feet, at
20 cents q sash. They glazed them
themselves at q cost of $19.
They started their experiment in
the fall and devoted their evenings
to studying up varieties. They de-
termined to choose the Marie Louise.
~ It was of the double varieties most
popular in the New York market, and
beside the Lady Hume Campbell, the
only double variety suited for COM
mercial growing.
Early In March they invested SO in
cuttings of the Marie Louise and be-
gan work In earnest.
full grower of violets they potted these
cuttings in Pinch pots in mixture
of one well-rotted manure to three
parts garden SOIL Besides mixing
thoroughly, the soil was sifted to free
It from Jumps. The pots were then set
IN frame in the garden and covered
with four of the sashes. There were
about thousand pots In all. but un-
fortunately the cuttings were very
poor.
White waiting for the cuttings to
root they built the frame into which
they were to be permanently set This
frame was only. rough box, feet
wide by 26 long. IL inches deep in the
hack and half ~ much In front.
Tho frame was placed in . fertile
spot in the garden. Oversize surface
Of the soil they spread well-rotted
stable manure to the depth Of
spare time for . month to get the soil
to their satisfaction. About the mid
die Of April they selected the largest
cuttings for planting first. leaving the
small plants for the last. Knocking
them carefully out Of the pots, they
set them in the frame inches apart
in >s-inch rows. They soon discovered
that they had only room for about ono
half the cuttings.
The young women built another
frame and set the last Of their young
plants.
The first summer there was the red
spider to fight against. July and Au-
gust found them very busy Swinging
the plants. It was . dimcult task, ~
the stream must be kept down low
enough to strike the leaves under
meath and turn them completely over.
About the middle Of September the
plants began to bloom. and although
they kept the blossoms closely picked
they did not attempt to sell them until
the first week in October. They al
lowed the florist In their homo town
to have all their blossoms at the rate
Of 10 cents . hundred in October
Cheyenne record., 1916-05-25

and IS cents hundred in November.
In October they built their first
greenhouse. 1t was so by 20 feet, and
helping with the work they managed
to reduce the cost OF the first estimate
Of $50 to s65.
Early in November the plants were
lifted from the frame and set in beds
in this greenhouse, and 80 well was
the work done that none Of the plants
stopped blooming. At Christmas
nearly 1000 blossoms were picked and
were sold for ninety cents hundred.
During May the young women be-
gan preparations for their second sea-
son by putting In 4 second thousand
young plants. To save the trouble and
expense of moving them in the autumn
they marked out beds as they would
be when the new greenhouse was COM
plete. and after setting up the posts
Of tho house. put out the violets. The
shades were stretched over these
posts, and aside from this and giving
them water when rain failed to come
often enough they received almost NO
attention until September. when the
new house. was completed.
The violets bloomed SO profusely
that the young women were advised
to have their violet beds photographed
and samples of their flowers sent with
the pictures to some Of the big florists
in New York. They did so, with the
result that one OF the largest con-
Germs in New York sent one Of its
representatives to see the young wom-
en- and arrangements were made to
take all the blooms at the rate Of 81
. hundred for all sent during Novem-
Der, - for December. and 81 for jan
uary and February, and Is cents for
the rest Of the season. The offer was
accepted and the young women have
continued to ship their blooms to this
firm.
