Scatter fresh tobacco stems among the plants to keep down green aphis, or, better still, spray them once in eight or ten days with a good nicotine solution. Variegated Vincas. A few degrees of frost will not harm the vincas in the field, but it is not wise to expose them to too much cold, as the young, tender shoots are liable to be nipped. Some of the clumps can be divided when they are lifted and all should be pruned back well. The plants can stand fairly close on a bench in a cool greenhouse. Later in the season, as the growths get under way, they can be stood along the edges of some of the benches where their long shoots can hang down. If you are short of stock, take a good batch of cuttings now. Soft shoots rubbed off with a heel will root the most quickly, . but more mature wood, cut in lengths, can also be used, although it takes much longer to root. Fancy Caladiums. As the foliage on the fancy ciladiums begins to decay, gradually reduce the water Keep them in a moder- ately warm house still, as they will not endure cold. When all the foliage has died away, store the pots or pans in a warm, dry shed or under a bench that is absolutely free from drip. It is quite necessary to keep caladium tubers warm in winter.
