Also, please give date to plant America and Augusta to have them in bloom for Memorial"day. They will be forced in a carnation tern- perature. A. A.—111. The following are recommended as good forcing varieties for the purpose named and can be planted in a carna- tion temperature about January 20: America, Augusta, Mrs. Francis King, flame pink; Pink Perfection,, rose pink; Pink Beauty, deep rose; Brenchleyensis, scarlet; Halley, coral pii^k, creamy white throat; Hollandia, rosy salmon.

Opinions differ somewhat on this point, but Comet and Lister's Prolific would be my choice, with Carter's Sun- rise, Stirling Castle and Best of All as other good varieties. C. W. BHUBABB AFTEB FOBCING. What shall I do with rhubarb roots that have been forced during the winter? I want to use them again next winter, C. E. S.—Wash, Keep your rhubarb in a frost-proof cellar until you can plant it out, usually in March or April. It will be of no use for forcing the following winter. It should have two seasons' growth to be of any value. Personally, I think the best thing to do would be to throw away the forced stock and either raise seedlings or keep dividing your clumps to give the necessary stock for forcing. C. W. GLOBE ABTICHOKES. I raised some artichokes from seed this year and planted them outdoors. They were nice, strong plants, but I did not know how to handle them.- I took one out of the ground this fall and found nothing but roots. Do they grow 'like.the sweet potato, or do they have to be tied, like celery, or do they bear the second year? Should they be left out all winter, or brought inf T povered mine with straw and manure. . :;: J. P.—N. Y. . I presume you refer to globe and not ^Terusalem artichokes. The latter grow tall and produce edible tubers similar to potatoes. The former produce heads \^hich are sometimes boiled, and the .bottoms of the scales are eaten with butter and salt, or baked with a butter dressing. These artichokes are not re- liably hardy in the northern states, and it is better either to sow seeds an- nually in December, grow the seedlings on in a fairly warm house and plant out early in May from 5-inch or 6-inch pots, or lift a few old roots and store these in a cool, dry pit or cold green- house and divide in the spring. Plant them out a yard apart, in warm, rich soil, and the plants should produce the same summer. It is necessary to have strong stock in 5-inch or 6-inch pots at planting-out time if fruit is wanted the same season. C. W. VIOLET SPOT. I am sending you a violet leaf with some light-colored spots on it. Can you tell me what is the cause of this! Please let me know as soon as possible, so that, if it is a disease, I may be able to stop it. Also, please tell me what is a good fertilizer for violets that have been planted two months without any fertilizer. W. G. F. G.—Mo. A. J. Rossi, of San trancisco. Director of the S. A. F. The leaf enclosed had been attacked by the disease commonly known as vio- let spot. The leaf appears to be from
