Before the arrival of eold nights, bouvardias in the field should be lifted and either potted or benched. Be care- ful to lift a nice ball with each plant and all roots possible. Keep the plants shaded from bright sunshine for some days and spray freely until they cease wilting. Of course, bouvardias can be left outdoors for some time yet in southern sections, but in the north it is better to lift them by the first week in September. I have known of in- stances where a temperature several de- grees above freezing destroyed the buds on B. Humboldtii, the large sweet- scented variety, which is easily the fin- est of all the bouvardias and which can be grown to produce stems eighteen to forty-eight inches long if given some disbudding. Hydrangeas. Hydrangeas are moderately hardy, but the French varieties are much more tender than H. Otaksa, and it is good policy to lift and pot any field-grown stock during the first half of Septem- ber, keeping the plants outdoors, of course, for some time yet. There is no immediate hurry about potting up H. Otaksa, but if the plants are wanted for early flowering, they will establish themselves in the pots if taken up now. You can probably secure an abundance of cuttings now from old plants. Take oflF a lot of tops now, pot singly in 2^- inch pots, plunge in a coldframe, keep close and shaded until rooted and keep these potted along so as to flower in 5- inch pots in the spring. Each of them will produce one immense head. Carry them over winter in a cool house and do not let them rest at all, as in the case of older plants. Romans and Paper Whites. As soon as the bulbs of Romans and Paper Whites arrive, place a batch in flats. The Paper Whites ckn be bloomed much earlier than the Romans, but there is nd great demand for either until chrysa
