Descriptive catalogue of flowering, ornamental trees, shrubs, bulbs, herbs, climbers, fruit trees, &c., &c., &c. / for sale by the Yokohama Nursery Co., Limited. . descriptivecatal1909yoko Year: 78 CATALOG] K OF THE YOKOHAMA NURSKRY Co., Ltd. (1911). we give no iiiaiiiire and the same in winter and early spring, the plants then being at rest, the best manure is finely powdered oil cake or bone meal, to a jardiner 1 foot in diameter we give 3 or 4 large teaspoonfuls not he(tped of this dry manure spread evenly round the edge of the jar- dinier, a larger or smaller will require more or loss, a small jardinier say 3 inches by 6 inches, half a teaspoonful Avill be ample each time. Repotting :—This is done by us once in 2 or 3 years as follows : lift the plant out of the jardinier and with a sharp pointed stick remove about J of the old soil around the edges and bottom, cutting away a portion of the old fine roots but none of the strong roots, then replace the plant, in the same jardinier first looking to the (h-ainage, f)r a small shallow jardinier we use a flat piece of tin or a flat crock over each hole, over this spread some rich fresh soil, neatly balance the plant and fill up with the same rich fresh soil to within J an iuch of the rims, this holds the water and prevents the manure being washed over the sides of the jardinier also the soil should be made sufficiently light round the edges of the jardinier to prevent the escape of water, it being of the first importance that the entire ball of soil around the plant be moistened at each watering, should the water of the plant at any time be neglected and the soil has become quite dry, put the jardiner in a tub of water for 10 or 15 minutes, not longer, and if the injury is not too serious the plant will recover. In the case of large plants Ave use hollow croi.'ks for drainage, the same as is used by growers of specimen plants. After se
