. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 300 The American I^lorist. Sept. 2, already attended to, it is time to get after them, as most of these will show an open center unless the buds are taken by September 1. Timothy Eaton and Yellow Eaton are about due to show buds for the best results. Sep- tember 5 to 10 are the dates for Col. D. Appleton, Golden Eagle. Dr. Engue- hard. Mayor Weaver and the other va- rieties that are at their best Novem- ber 1 to and after September 15 any of the later varieties can be taken. It is well to bear in mind that it gen- erally takes from six to eight weeks for the bloom to mature from the time of taking the buds. Of course the blooms can be held longer after being fully matured but they are at their best in time mentioned. We must bear in mind that after the bud is taken most of the strength of the plant is concentrated in ex- panding this same bud and any ad- verse conditions applied to the plant will also act on the bud. Considerable moisture is necessary at this early date to insure the proper development of the bud and to keep the red spider and thrips in check, but it is neces- sary to use a little extra caution in syringing and watering from this time on. Most varieties have attained such a degree of growth with dense foliage that it is impossible for them to dry out before night unless the syringing is done by noon. Plenty of ventila- tion should be continued at all times as long as the weather conditions are favorable, but guard against any rains coming through the open venti- lators and wetting the beds too much. Heavy dews are a nightly occurrence in most parts of the country and this must also be taken into consideration in regard to late syringing, it being so much more moisture for the plants to take care of that together with a wet foliage from late syringing an at- tack of brown spotted foliage and mildew is liable to result therefrom.
