CYCLAMEN

Given the proper conditions, the cy-
clamen is remarkably easy to grow.
When well-grown it is difficult to find
a more useful plant for room and win
dow decoration. The soil best suited
to them is fresh, turfy loan, with a
fourth to a fifth of well-rotted horse
manure, to which add some clean sand
if the soil is heavy. Plant so as to
leave the top of the bulb just below the
surface. The flowers vary from deep
red to pure white.

FLORAL WORK IN SEASON
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Divide and set peOny roots now. Fall
planting is best for them.
Mixing compost rough for flower
pots means without sitting it.
Hurry your order for bulbs and
plants. Have your borders and pots
ready for them when they come.
Roman hyacinths are best for late
potting as they come into bloom much
earlier than the Dutch varieties. Each
bulb throws up several 1ower-spikes.
Are your neighbors' plants finer and
better than yours? If so, there is a
reason for it, and you should seek to
find out what it is and profit by the
knowledge.
Fall is the best time to take up, di-
vide and reset old plants Of herbace-
Gus perennials, or to plant most new
ones. They should become well-estab-
lished before freezing weather as to
root growth.
More herbaceous perennials are
heavy feeders, and thorough enrich
ment of the lower soil is of great inn
portance. Top dressing every fall
should be well attended to, and this
should be forked into the soil in the
spring. after the freezing is done.
Winter protection is valuable for all
plants, no matter how hardy they may
be. The object of this is not to keep
the plant roots warm, but to prevent
the sun, especially in the spring, from
warming and thawing the stalks and
ground, thus exposing the plant cells
to alternate thawing and freezing,
which is very hurtful to them.
Lay in supply of potting soil now,
so if the need arises for soil when the
ground is covered with snow or frozen,
it can be met. Equal parts Of good
garden soil, old, weli-rotted manure
leaf mold Cor wood soiD and sand
should be stirred well together, sifted
through a coarse sieve and stored un-
der shelter in boxes or barrels.
Do not let the plants intended for
the window garden stay out too long.
Even a slight chill will hurt the ten
der ones, and do the hardy ones no
good. Do not pinch, out the buds after
the first of November.
Do not transfer the plants at once
from the border to the sitting room.
From the open air to the veranda or a
bench on the sunny side of the house !;
from there to shed or cool room as
the frost approaches, then to some
room where near fire shall Danish the
actual cold; then place them in your
windows and they will not realize the
change so greatly.
Crotons do not need specially rich
soil. Mix together three parts of leaf
mold, one of garden soil and one of
thoroughly rotted manure. Heat and
moist air are essential. Full sunshine
Is liked, except in hot weather.

PERENNIAL LARKSPUR

One of the plants which has bene-
fitted much of late years from the sci
entific attention of growers is the del
phinium, that perennial larkspur"
which gives such a grateful bit of
shaded blue when grown correctly.
A bed or border of delphiniums will
riod of three months, and they form
one of the small but gallant band OF
plants that will endure much bad
weather.
