Disbudding on the old plants is largely a matter of routine but it should be kept up-to-date. When the shoots are allowed to lengthen and grow stout and strong before removal they are not only a waste of the resources of the plants but they ruin the flower around which they are crowding. In cases where' they have run out much it is often best to pinch out the flower itself and leave as many shoots as there is room for to form flowers in their turn. But this leads an untidy straggling plant and cannot be as a rule. The plants should be gone over carefully at least once a week, oftener if time can be found and then all will be right. In connection with disbudding, the removal of all old flowers should have attention as they look untidy and attract thrips. Then, with the young stock, there are often small shoots that are useless and should be cut away. Healthy vigorous shoots are needed, the more the better, but these little side shoots are often the means of attracting insects and fun- gus and are no good anyway for the shoots that spring from them, if any dn, are weak and worthless.
