Geraniums, ager- atums, verbenas, petunias, pyrethrums, gar- den annuals and the hardier bedding plants are also quite as well stood outside about the same time, before being planted into the bed or borders later on. Coleuses, cannas, ricinuses, achyranthes, palms, azaleas and the more tender plants had better be kept in the greenhouse until the end of May or early in June. The facil- ities available for temporary shelter and the condition of the weather, must however largely determine the best time to introduce all plants to outdoor life. If the greenhouse or conservatory is not occupied during the summer with tender plants that require shade and very little air, the benches may be utilised to grow chry- santhemums on. Owing to the prevalence of the fungus disease, commonly called "rust," that has attacked outdoor grown chrysanthemums so badly during the last few years, it seems to be impossible to succeed with these gorgeous autumn favor- ites except by growing them imder glass all the summer.
