The glganteums for Christmas should now be growing nicely and the buds should show about November 10. If they do not appear by that time a little extra heat will be necessary to have them in on time. After Chrysanthemums. The early chrysanthemums are now through flowering and the space that they have occupied should be made of use by a growing crop. The soil in which they have been grown should be removed. It is very seldom that a good crop of any flower can be grown in the soil that has produced chrysanthe- mums. While it looks to be all right and often has much manure in it that the chrysanthemums have not taken up, yet our experience has been that the soil will not grow a succeeding crop. It is better to throw it out in a pile where it can be subjected to the sweetening process of nature. The stock plants of the chrysanthemums can be selected and blocked up closely together and the surplus stock sold, and the space made ready for a fol- lowing crop. Many growers frequently ask what can be grown to follow chrys- anthemums. It depends greatly upon what the trade demands. Where the early frosts are not severe, the single violets are left in the field and planted in the beds, but in the northern section of the country the weather is often too sej'ere. the plants being badly frozen and will not recover until mid-winter. Plant growers will require the space for the growing plants and tlie lilies where planted early can be moved into the benches. Sweet peas make a good crop in these beds for spring bloom- ing. If the seed is planted in pots in October and then transplanted to the beds early they can be bloomed in March. There are a number of an- nuals that can be profitably grown, siach as Bachelor's Buttons, and stocks, or early blooming herbaceous plants like cant
