NBAB PAKK CHICAGO Pot plants will be all right outside from June 10 to September 10 in tem- perate latitudes. For benched plants a temperature as low as 60 degrees will do no harm if other conditions ara right. The principal causes of failure in gardenia culture are: Improper soil, which holds water too long and becomes sour, not allowing the benches to dry out suflSciently between waterings; keeping the atmosphere too hot and stuffy, and erratic or careless ventila- tion. , Gardenias like a warm and fairly moist atmosphere, but do not want cod- dling. There are few days in the year when they need be without ventila- tion. They enjoy having their roots warm; if you have hot water pipes be- low the benches, all the better, A win- ter minimum of 65 degrees, except on severe nights, is suitable. Allow it to drop 5 degrees on zero nights. Any- thing approaching sogginess at the roots late in summer or early in the fall will cause the leaves to turn yel- low and buds to drop. Maintain a nice, buoyant atmosphere and water with great care and moderation and the plants should flower well through the winter. If the soil is heavy, I would add some partly rotted leaves, broken charcoal and a fair amount of coarse sand to it. F. B. IstaUished 1867. ''im^ 737-739 Buckingham Place L. D.
