STAINS ON PALMS. 



Please tell me how to remove the 

 traces of bordeaux mixture from 

 palms. 



I have some palms that were affect- 

 ed with "rust," and I applied the mix- 

 ture a couple of times during the sum- 

 mer and stopped the rust, but now I 

 can't get the bloomin' stuff off. fjyr- 

 inging won't do, and even washing 

 each leaf won't take it clean off. When 

 the plants dry it shows nearly as bad 

 as ever. I think the cure is as bad 

 as the disease. 



Florida. B. J. D. 



The stains from bordeaux mixture 

 are not easily removed from the foli- 

 age of plants in general, but it is 

 probable that a solution of ammonia in 

 water would help to remove it from 

 the palm leaves. 



The ordinary household ammonia is 

 not a very strong solution, averaging 

 possibly one part of ammonia to 500 

 parts of water, but it would be advis- 

 able to dilute this still more before ap- 

 plying to the leaves with a sponge, for 

 too much ammonia mav injure the 

 leaves. W. H. TAPLIN. 



CRIPPLE CREEK, COLO. 



CHIPPLE CREEK, COLO— Mrs. C. 

 H. Holmes, florist here, has bought 

 out the Cripple Creek Floral Co., 

 whose greenhouses were burnt about 

 the 10th of September, and is rebuild- 

 ing two as additions to her place on 

 West Golden avenue. When they are 

 completed she will have about 4,000 

 square feet of glass. Not very much 

 compared with some other places, but 

 Cripple Creek is a mining camp but 

 eight years old, and over 9.000 feet 

 above the sea level. 



Have had cold nights for over a 

 month; one night the thermometer fell 

 to 14 degrees above zero. Fine sun- 

 shiny days, but very cold nights. 

 Trade fair and flowers scarce, especi- 

 nlly carnations. J. M. B.
