fine the rowa clearly, you w ill have
little trouble with this disease. Use
a sharp pencil or a nail to cultivate.
Be careful of the plants!
Thla
cultivating should be continued
after the first transplanting also, to
let air into the soil and keep it
sweet. The soil in which the seed
was sown should be saved for a
time after “ pricking out” for some
seed w ill germinate later. It has
been found that such seed invari
ably produces very fine, large, bril
liant flowers.
This is especially
true of the cinerarias, and every
thing tends to show it Is also true
of many other plants.
,
Generally speaking, the thing o f
greatest Importance In connection
with thè culture of house plants. Is
to keep them growing all the time
until ready to flower. They should
be put in two-inch pots when they
are about three lnchee high, using
a soil mixture of either two-thirds
light garden soil and one-third
manure (w ell rotted) or one-third
each of heavy garden soil, sand end
manure.
W e must have a fairly
open, well drained soil for good re
sults.
Clay pots are costly right now,
