These can be planted several in a pot, or in flats, to produce additional flowering bulbs another year. A minimum temperature of 50 to 55 degrees in winter suits callas. They need a generous soil and lots of water also. Once well potbound, top-dress every ten to fourteen days with fine bone. The roots eat this up grK^dily.

Here is a British firm naming a novelty for the day we celebrate and, curiously, it re- ceived its first public recogn^ion, a cer- tificate of merit by the Nawonal Rose Society of Great Britain, Ji^y 4, 1919. Rose Independence Day was' raised by Bees, Ltd., Liverpool. It is a small hybrid tea, the result of a cross between Mme. Edouard Herriot and Souvenir de Gustave Prat. It is offered in England as a rose of special value for garden cultivation, but it may have a future in America as a corsage rose grown under glass. It is of free, vigorous, bushy growth, producing a profusion of small, shapely blooms of a rich orange-tinted yellow, the unopened, pointed buds be- ing stained with red. The foliage is small and glossy and provides an at- tractive setting for the flowers. The originators, who have a stock of some thousands of plants, assert that it is perpetual-flowering and that the foliage is mildew-proof. Subsequent to receiving a certificate of merit, July 4, 1919, Rose Indepen- dence Day received the National Rose Society's gold medal September 9, 1919. PUTTINO OLD SOSES OUTDOORS.
