There is in reality not so nmcli harm done to the general health of the plant by this condensation but it flowers through chrysanthemum time, and it is just as well not to have many then and have what you do get away U]) to the tO]) mark of perfection. Carefnlly disbud them and, above all other things, do not leave them on the plants after they ;ire ready to cut in order to have a few more for a certain da\'. Perhaps I am a crank on some particulars but it is a hobby with me to have my flowers cut close three times a week; it is only for the fact that we do not have the time to. QREENHOU8E8 OF THE DANIELS & FISHER CO., DENVER, COL. seems to be the sort ot condition that carnaticm rust revels in and as most of our really good varieties of to-day have rust to a greater or less extent, we do not want to ofi'er favorable conditions for its development. Another point to be very carefully watched in this cool method of growing is to have plenty of ventilation on during the day, for to allow the temperature to run up to 90° or over during the day and down to 3S~ or 4-0° at night would split calyxes all to pieces and even aft'ect the crop of buds forming to such an extent that it would reach over into the holi- days. The day temperature should be between 60° and 70°, as nearly as you can have it. Still another point to watch is the watering. Growing them cool the plants will not need the water that they would if grown warmer and at the same time will, I think, suffer quicke
