A BERMUDA REPORT. 



A report has been issued by G. A. 

 Bishop, superintendent of the Public 

 Gardens, Hamilton, Bermuda, of his 

 investigation as to the causes of the 

 lily disease. The causes reported are 

 eummarized as follows: "Heavily ma- 

 nuring with farmyard manure; repeti- 

 tion of the crop upon the same 

 ground; reduced vitality; bad selec- 

 tion of stock; in some cases insuffi- 

 ciency of plant food. All of which 

 assist to render the bulb prone to an 

 attack of fungi or soft rot. When the 

 fungi or rot has taken possession of 

 the bulb it causes its roots and base to 

 become rotten, after which it is liable 

 to be attacked by the eucharis mite." 



As remedial measures he suggests a 

 more thorough preparation of the soil, 

 through trenching, rotation of crops 

 and the careful selection of stock free 

 from disease. He also recommends 

 the treatment of the bulb scales with a 

 fungicide, and searing the fractured 

 end with a mixture of half lime and 

 half sulphur before they are planted 

 out for the increase of the stock, and 

 the prompt destruction of al! affected 

 bulbs and scales. 



He also gives extended instructions 

 as to the use of both natural and arti- 

 ficial manures and recipes for various 

 fungicides. He believes that by care- 

 ful attention to his instructions the 

 lily industry in Bermuda can be 

 brought back to its former condition 

 of prosperity. 



WATERED ARTinCIAL PALMS. 



A Michigan reader writes that he 

 recently ordered a few artificial palms 

 that remained several days in the 

 freight house, and as a result he re- 

 ceived a polite note from the freight 

 agent to call for them as he was afraid 

 they would wilt. On sending for them 

 the clerk in charge stated he had wat- 

 ered them each morning. And most 

 remarkable of all the artifirial palms 

 hadn't wilted a particle.

A LEHER FROM A 



...Chrysanthemum Prize Winner... 



'The cutting was struck in January and put in a 4-inch pot 

 about the tirst of February. Five weeks later it was shifted 

 into a 6-inch pot; in Mav being given another shift into an s- 

 inch pot. in pure Jadoo t"ibre. Later shifts were made in the 

 same material, and about August 1 the plant received its final 

 shift into a 13-inch pot. in which it was exhibited. When the 

 buds were set I started watering with Jadoo Liquid according 

 to directions about twice a week, gradually increasing the 

 strength until the blooms were half developed, when a little 

 of the Liquid in a much weakened form was given."
