and allow plenty of air at all times, only excluding frost (by covering with mats or litter), so that the flowers are not spoiled nor the plants checked. Decayed leaves must be regularly picked off and the soil may be loosened. If growing healthily, give a dusting over the surface with Clay’s fertiliser. The violets must be watered when they need it, choosing a bright sunny day for the work.
Wallflowers.—If potted along during the autumn, wallflowers will give quite a nice lot of sweet-scented flowers during the early spring months before they would be available outside. I do not advise that all these subjects be grown in preference to what we might call real greenhouse plants, but they are, I think, well worth growing, as a change from the general run of plants. Each season it would be a good plan to grow a batch of two or three of the subjects named. It will surprise many to know how well these plants will grow under really good cultivation.
