Hold plants which are well ex- panded in a cold, shaded house, but avoid cold air currents, which are al- ways liable to produce mildew. Oenlstas. No matter whether grown naturally, trimly sheared, or as standards, genistas make popular Easter plants. They are not good house plants when compared with rambler roses, azaleas or spiraeas, one week usually completely finishing them in a warm room. They sell well, however, and stand quite a low tempera- ture without showing any ill effects. They are easy plants to pack, as they can be pulled together closely without being damaged in the least. Do not place these in the store too many at a time, for it does not take many days to give them a jaded appearance. Do not stint them on water j they need an abundant Hydrangeas. Hydrangeas do not sell so freely at Easter as at Memorial day. Until re- cently H. Otaksa has been the only form of hortensis much in evidence in the plant markets, but the newer French hybrids are catching on wonderfully. Mme. Emile Mouillere is a beautiful white, Mousseline has mauve rose flow- ers, Bouquet Eose is a bright pink, Mile, de Tremault a superb white. General de Vibraye is a bright rose and La Lor- raine is rose, turning bright pink. These are half a dozen new sorts which will be considerably in evidence in future years. Hydrangeas can hardly be'over- watered and it will pay to keep saucers below them to prevent drying out. Azaleas. There are always heavy sales of aza- leas at Easter, and both the colored and white varieties take well. The double white Niobe now takes the lead over Deutsche Perle, which latter is supreme in its color for Christmas. Apollo, double scarlet; Simon Mardne
