The circle in the center of the cross was bordered with yellow alternantheras and filled chiefly with Echeveria secunda ^lauca, though there were four echeverias of a larger size, probably E. Californiea, and one E. metallica in the center of all. The four spaces between the arms of the cross were filled with about sixty yellow alternantheras. MEMOBIAL DAY CROPS. An adequate supply of cut flowers at the end of May is a matter of su- preme importance to every country flo- rist and it means many dollars of addi- tional revenue to be able to time all crops correctly. This is not easy, as vagaries of weather sometimes upset all our calculations. Ten weeks' stocks, if they are just beginning to show their flower spikes, will be in good season. These can be pushed a little, if late, when the spikes are in sight, but it is unwise to do this earlier and at no time should they have too much heat. Snapdragons are a crop which is quite persistent, and these are spoiled by forcing; 45 to 50 degrees at night should not be exceeded. Feed well when thor- oughly established. Candytuft, if it seems at all late, should be given 5 degrees more heat, but when the flow- ers start to open it should be grown cooler. Double feverfew is a rather commonplace and coarse but, neverthe- less, a useful Memorial day flower. The spikes on these should now be pushing up. Grow it cool all the time for best results.
