3M THE GARDEN UNDER GLASS of shading the greenhouse will need attention. A few words on this matter will be found in the body of the book and need not now be repeated. Flowers for the outside form a considerable part of the work in the greenhouse for the next month or two. East Lothian Stocks will now be getting along, and I would advise that the best of them be potted into 3-inch pots. If sufficient pots are not avail-able they may be set in a frame at a fair distance apart, but they do not thus transplant so well, although better stuff is obtained than if they were left in boxes. Frames should be prepared for pricking out all manner of seednings. Where antirrhinums, calceolarias, pentstemons, marguerites and violas have been grown in frames the frame may well be taken off and used for other purposes. Should severe frost happen a few mats may be thrown over the cuttings, but they will be able pretty well to take care of themselves if they piave been kept freely ventilated during the winter. Continue to work up a sufficient stock from cuttings of ageratum, heliotropes, fuchsias, lobelia and similar subjects, and prick off all seedlings as they become large enough, giving them nice open sandy soil. Make further sowings at once of any bedding plants which have not come up well from seeds, such as antirrhinums, etc. Violets may be removed from frames and planted on well-trenched gronnd. The space will then become avail-able for innumerable other subjects. Put sticks to sweet-peas in pots and harden them off preparatory to planting out. If it is intended to grow any for flowering inside no time should be lost in moving them to large pots. These, of course, must be staked at once. Four tall stakes will serve the purpose, and as the growths advance a strand of matting may be passed round them. Pinch cuttings of calceolaria in frames, which will now be growing freely. Get dahlia plants inside to produce cuttings and take off
