You also can take cuttings from the green- liouse stock and get almost equally good plants at the time they are wanted, but it is well to remember that such plants possess much less vigor than seedlings and will be sure to develop more stem-rot in case we got such a wet spell as we had last .Tuly and Au- gust. For a ^femoiial day crop tlie present is a suitable time to plant out snap- dragons. They give an enormous quan- tity of bloom and few flowers are bet- ter ailapted for bouquet work. It is not necessary to disbud the shoots se- verely for ii Memoi'ial day crop, for, as a rule, spikes of moderate size are preferable to the larger ones. Let your young plants run up to flower and at least show color before piiuliiiig back. The plants will then branch much more vigorously than if the pinching was done while the shoots wei(> soft. Plants which have been flowering since fall should now have a good toji- dressing of cow manure, or pulverized sliecp manure. Mix the latter with an equal jiroportioii of damp, screened loam before using it. Tliis pre^?ents the manure washing into ridges in the iii'iiclies, as is often the case wlien the dry maiiiui' is ap|di<^d alone.
