Wi nter Bloom ers.—Libon ia penrhos
i ensi s is an evergreen bear ing den se pr ivetli ke leaves and scarlet flowers n ot un likeMon tbretia or Chelone in general appearance .
I t i s a win ter -bloomer, but is not
sure to bloom . U nder window culture th eplan ts are rarely seen i n bloom . H eterocen tron alba i s a soft-stemmed uprightplan t with white flowers about th e size of aThorn blossom at th e leaf axils . It growsreadily and blooms freely i n win ter . The
,
t0ps should be pin ched while g rowing topromote a bushy habit . Stev i e. serratabears clusters of white flowers i n win ter ,and is sure to bloom . A var iety has prettyvar iegated leaves , and is lovely as a foliag eplan t . Eupator ium r i pari um has clustersof white;brush- l ike flowers i n abundan ceduring win ter; the plan ts are easily . caredfor an d sure to bloom . H abrotham nus
elegan s is often classed as Cestrum elegan s .
I t is a shrubby vin e that bears clusters ofrosy tubular flowers . I t is mostly regardedas a summer flower , but m ay be managedto bloom i n th e win ter . Begon ia Carrierii s of th e Sem perfiorens group , and has crisprounded fol1ag e and n umerous clusters ofwhite flowers . I t will bloom either i n w i nter or summer .
Fer n s —These mostly like a shady place
and con s i derable moisture about th e roots .
On ly a few species , however , thr ive i n soilwhere th e water is stagnan t . G ood drain
age ,porous soil , and frequen t an d l iberal
a plication s of water are chief elemen ts i nt e g rowth of these plan ts .
GROWING rasssm s.
HOSE who wish to have fineof Freesias during. th e holiday seasonshould now at ten d to getting and pot
ting t he bulbs . Secure th e finest bulbs tobe obtained
,an d pot them i n
4}4 inch lpots , using a goodcompost of fibrous loam ,
sandand decayed manure . Thesemater ials should be thoroughlycomposted an d mixed
,an d
should be fi lled i n th e po t overgood drainage , as th e Freesiadoes no good i n water - loggedsoil . Set th e bulbs a half inchbeneath th e surface
,and keep
watered an d i n a cool place nu
til freely rooted,when th e tem
p erature m ay be in creased to 60 degreesan d m erewater applied . Keep close to th eglass to en courage astron g , stalky growth .
Five or si x bulbs , all of th e same size,should
be placed i n one pot . T h e long bulbs as
shown i n th e illustration, are preferable .
As stated , water spar ingly un til the potsare fi lled with roots and th e growth active ,then give them liberal supplies , occas ionallyusing weak manure water
,which greatly
stimulates th e growth and bloom . The
earli er Freesias are potted th e better . As
a rule good bulbs cannot be o btained tilllate i n Julyh but i n August there should beno lack of thoroughly r ipen ed bulbs at anyen terprising bulb house. Wi th these simplehin ts any person can have fine potfuls ofth e beautiful waxen frag ran t clusters, asthere are few bulbs of easier culture , an dfew that are more satisfactory i n y ieldi ngbeauty and fragrance .
Non -bloom i ng Paeony .—M iss Taylor
,
of Van Buren Coun ty , Michigan ,has two
Paeon ies sideby side , one of which developsits flowers
,wh i le th e other drops i ts buds
before they begin to Open . She wan ts toknow why the buds blast . This i s aconundrum ,
although we see“
just such thi ngshappen ing daily . In the human fami ly we
m ay see under th e same roof persons whoare useful , and fin ish satisfactori ly whatever they undertake , while others , perhaps ,rarely take anything i n hand , and whatthey do lattem p t frequen tly ends withoutsuccess . Their food and surroundings m aybe al ike ,
and we must look deeper for the
cause . T he di ff eren t qualities are characteri st i c , doubtless , and m ay be con sidered i nheren t . If we have anyth ing to do we en
gage th e industrious , successful m an ratherthan th e dilatory , careless one . We wan to ne that can be depended upon . In plan tculture we should pursue th e same policy .
Buy and plan t variet ies that are recom
mended as rel iable , and that can be depended upon to bloom satisfactori ly . You willthus avoid worry , disapp o in tmen t an t !trouble . g I

ELONG ING to th e Lily Family w e

perfectly hardy ,an d of th e easiest culture .
It is called Quamash by the In dian s , w ho
gather th e bulbs for food to such an exten tthat they have become difficult to procure .
Th e scien tific name is Camassia esculen ta,
an d acommon nam e i sCal iforn ian H yacin th .
Th e flowers are of var ious shades fromwhite to r i ch blue or purple ,
but th e p re
vailin g color is blue . They are large an d
showy,measuring two in ches across
, an d
produced on Spikes growing from ten to
twen ty inches high,each spike bearing
from ten to twen ty blooms . T h e bulbs arelong an d plump
,i n shape n o t un n k e a Bot

an in ch i n diameter . They are absolutelysure to bloom when potted an d given th e
care recommen ded for growing th e DutchH yacin th i n pots , an d for this reason
, as
wel l as their showin ess an d beauty theyShould become very popular as windowplan ts . A S ingle bulb m ay be placed m a
three- in ch p o t , or fiv e bulbs i n a fiv e- in chp o t . In small pots th e plan t s are moredwarf
,an d a group of fiv e plan ts i n th e
larger pots is preferable . They are wellnamed “Cal iforn ian H yacin ths
,for w e
look for every thing from Californ ia to be
of extraordinary s i ze ,and at a distan ce th e
spikes of blooming Camassia appear l ikehuge specimen s o f Dutch H yacin ths . A
closer view reveals th e delusion,but th e
at tract iven ess of th e flowers is n one th e lesspromin en t .
These bulbs ripen early,an d can be obtain
ed an d pot ted i n September for early win terflowers
,o r th e potting m ay be don e i n Octo
ber or N ovember,as th e bulbs keep well
om f th e ground . I t is better,however
,
to g et th e bulbs , say 2 5 i n num ber,and pot

About Ch rysan th em um s — I saw in a
paper that cutt ings of Chrysan themumsrooted i n fall an d kept growing all win termake lovely Easter flowers . Some on e tryi t an d
‘
report . I also saw that after Chrysan th em um buds form
,if you bruise th e
stems,wrap with damp sph g num moss an d
t i e to a suppor ting stake a ov e and below,
roo t s will soon form at th e bruise , and th e
top can be cut o ff and potted . I shouldthin k th e moss should be quite thickaround th e woun d ,
so it would retain moisture . All Chrysan themum s should be well.staked to keep from falling down .
