. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 278 The American Florist. Sept. 5, would advise against spraying in the afternoon unless on a very bright drying day when the temperature reaches up in the nineties. Richmond being susceptible to black spot, also American Beauty, it would be a safe plau to syringe these two varieties only once per day. Look out for the surface roots now when cultivating. June planted roses should now have the soil quite full of feeding roots near the surface and when it is found that these feeding roots must be disturbed in order to cultivate, the cultivating should be stopped and a very light mulch of thoroughly decomposed cow or sheep manure mixed with a little fresh soil should be scattered over the surface of the soil to prevent baking. Keep the soil pressed firmly against the sides of the benches so that the water will reach every part of the soil instead of running in through the crack where the soil often shrinks away from the side boards. Dis- budding must be done now with great care as it is yet early to turn the youug plants loose. Bo not be in too big a hurry and ruin the prospects of good winter cutting by heading back the plants hard in order to have a few flow- ers now. Cut flowers only when the plants seem hardly to miss them, and for safety all around put ou a night fireman, so as to have every thing in readiness for sudden changes. There are many little odd jobs he can do in connection with the light firing at this season, that will keep him fully employed. K. Bulb Growing In Virginia.

For if we keep on as we have commenced, it will not be many years
