Carnations are not good or plentiful. Asters, of which we have re- ceived large shipments, are not what they should be and have to be cleared at low prices. Sweet peas are still quite scarce.

If your cli- mate is not too severe, keep the violets outdoors all winter, protected with leaves, meadow hay or straw, laying some brush or light boards on top to keep the covering in place. If the ground is free from stagnant water, the plants should winter all right and give a good spring crop to follow the greenhouse stock. C. W. PHCENIX FBOM SEED.
