THE CULTURE 0F HARDY LIMIES W. E. Groves. Bowmanvllle (Continued from last week) Planting the Buibi The ideal tume te plant liues la just when the stamis are dying dawn. This ta frequently impossible but the next beat is as near that time as dan be arangeci. Septeînben and iOctober are suitable manths in most districts a! Canada. When bulbs are purcbased for new plantings thtey may have to, be staned until the spring for the importations do not always arrive before !reezing up time: storing in dry soil, sand or peat will usually ensure goocd con- dition o! the bulbs at spring plant-I ing ime.Under ordinary ircum- ztanes ilybuibsahsould be out o! the gnound but a short time. This abviausly imiplies that whene tbey have to be held aven, came shauldi be takan to keep them firm. The nature o! the soil must gavern toi sanie axtent the depth at which to: plant the buiba. So also mnust the1 fact that sanie vaieties are stem1 ooting and athers base rooting. Thei stem rcoting kinds send out roots above the bulba in addition to thosei frami the base o! the bulb, while( the others root entinely frn the( basa. The langer stem rooting kindsi such as Henryi, Regale and Speci-t asum might be planted at lest tenf inches deep If the sou la sllght andr wvell drained. If the soil la heavyr it la wise ta plant about eight ln- ches deep. Four to f ive inches deapt will be sufficient for the base root-2 ing varieties. Candldum, Gigante-s um, Tcnulfoliumn and Martagon arec the more donionly gnoWn varie-a ties which root f rom the base of theÈ buiba. The other klnds pnevlouslyt narned are stem nootlng. A larges nuxnber of the beot growers placea the bulbs on their aides when plant- ing. T'his method appears ta me- duce the decay sometimes caused on account o! the wct soaking inua the centre o! the bulb., inside the open scales. It apparently makes no diffenence 10 gmowth and is a %vise precaution! It rteed flot, be !ollowed witb ahl variaties, but only when planting the lose scaled kinds. Seasonal Culture Ord.inary ganden culture applied ta hilies includa proper dultivation, plenty o! water during dry periods. spraying with a nicotine solution ta kepdawn aphis and neceszsary feeding. The firat three o! these suggestions will be accepted without argument. As to feeding theme are undoubtedly two opinions but the best gnowens centainly do give their planta some extra foodi. Bane meal m.ixed in the soil befone planting is alniost sure to bring about a better gnowth. So also does a top dress- ing o! partially decayed manune, thougb ibis should flot be applied to Young plants. Soot, an article nat used as much as it deserves deepens the colon o! the foliage and in ,ome cases intensifies the colon o! the flawens. Strong applications o! nitrogenous fertilizers are not, advised, but witb t.he character o! the sal always in mind Judiclous feeding sbould be safe and helpful. The top dresslng o! peat prcvlausly mentioned doea not !eed the planta very mucb but it doas help to keep the sal dean and cool. A reason- abiy close attention to the abave suggestions should rcsult in suc- ceas in the culture o! these stately ami beautiful flowcrs. Eveny gar- den should have at least a f ew for there anc but f ew plants that please an m.uch or compel so much admir- ation.
