Mrs. Ely, author of "The Woman's Hardy Garden," says: "The seeds should be sown by mid-April in finely prepared, rich soilâthe colors in separate rowsâand if the weather is dry, they should be given a thor- ough watering late every afternoon. By the loth of July the little plants should be transplanted, either to the places where they are to bloom the following sum- mer, or else they may be set out temporarily in rows about a foot apart, the plants eight inches apart, and finally transplanted early in October. Some evergreen branches, or a little straw or coarse hay, thrown over them when the ground be- gins to freeze, makes all the winter covering these plants require. In the spring a little fine manure and some bone meal should be dug about each plant, and the stalks of bloom, which, if well cared for, will be nearly three feet in height, should be staked. If the flowers are cut immediately upon fading, the period of bloom- ing can be prolonged to about six weeks," Calycanthema (Cup and Saucer Canterbury Bells). This is unquestion- ably the finest type of this old-fashioned and much-prized garden plant. They differ from the ordinary type in having an extra large calyx, which is of the same color as the flower, giving the appearance of a cup and saucer. They are effective either in the garden or grown in pots for conservatory or table decoration. We offer them in separate colors as well as in mixture, viz: PER PKT PER PKT. 1736 Rose Pink.
