Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom cyclopediaofamer02bail Year: 1906 OLIVIA CLOVES 337 this, with larger and deeper colorod flowers. Estnhlished plants may be grown in tin- same j'uts for several yt':irs, if the phints are fea durinj; tin- Towiii;:: iiiricd with weak liquid manure. In putting', the soil given should be of a lasting nature, not easily soured, nor apt to become sodden. In arranging the drainage, place one large piece, cminvr side <lown, over the hole, and ;ittMiiMl lliis arrange several smaHer piei. (tver these place one or two liiiiidluls of pieces small enough to go through a No. 2 sieve. The best time to pot is after the flowers have been produced. The plants should then be kept for some time in a humid atmosphere to encourage growth, receiving an abundance of water after they are well started. Aftergrowth has been completed, they will winter safely in an ordinary greenhouse tempera- ture {not under 40°), if kept rather dry at the root. For propagation, select old plants which have become crowded in their pots, so that the entire plant can Im- pulhd to pieces. After trimming tlie roots, put the growths in small pots and keep in heat, to encourage root action. Oliv- ias are well suited for planting per- manently in the front part of green- house borders. The soil for this ])ur- pose should be rich and well linned about the roots. Withhold water as much as possible during the rusting period, or the plants will produce __ leaves at the expense of the flowers. Trifolium pratense. A.
