 ting time no water will be required for 

 some days. When growth is strong and 

 roots active there ia seldom any cause to 

 fear over- watering. 



The Gardeners' Chronicle. 



Eelwoems in Cheysanthemums. — In 

 the Comptes Bendus of the Academie dea 

 Sciences, January 20, is a note by M. 

 Chifflot on the disease in chrysanthe- 

 mum foliage, caused by nematode worms 

 of the genus aphelenchus. The reme- 

 dies suggested are: To burn the affected 

 foliage; to prevent contaminating the 

 soil used in repotting by taking care 

 not to throw on it infected leaves, etc.; 

 as far as possible to sterilize the soil; 

 to make use of artificial rather than of 

 natural manures; and to take cuttings 

 only from healthy plants. 



Begonia Gloike de Lorraine. — In the 

 first place, it is so persistent in flowering 

 that cuttings are vrith difficulty ob- 

 tained, and many cut off the flower 

 stems with the idea of getting the plants 

 to start from the base, with the result 

 that they do start, and begin to flower 

 again; whilst if allowed to flower from 

 the original stems, the buds at the base 

 will remain dormant till the flowering 

 period is pretty well exhausted, and 

 when they do start good cuttings are 

 readily obtained. There is no difficulty 

 In propagating the plant, as with ordi- 

 nary care almost eveiy cutting will make 

 roots. The most important point is to 

 pot them off as soon as they are fit, and 

 keep them growing without a cheek. 

 Although they do not fill the pots with 

 roots like some varieties, they like pot- 

 room, and a good rich compost. In the 

 earlier stages of growth plenty of 

 warmth may be applied, and later on a 

 moderate temperature with plenty of 

 light and fresh air; the plants must 

 never be crowded together after they are 

 well established in their flowering pots; 

 manure-water may be used freely. 



Primkose Seedlings. — The seedling 

 primulas are attacked by the fungus 

 called ovulaiia primnlina. The disease 

 is mostly confined to the seedling stage. 

 If the soil is thoroughly disinfected by 

 heat, and the seedlings sprayed with 

 dilute potassium permanganate solution, 

 the disease can be held in check. 



Attica, N. Y. — W. C. Stroh is prepar- 

 ing to erect four large new houses this 

 summer. They will have all modern fea- 

 tures. 



Tarrytown, TST. Y.— The premium list 

 for the fourth annual exhibition of the 

 Tarrytown Horticultural Society has 

 been issued, and copies may be had by 

 addressing the secretary, Mr. Edward 

 W. Neubrand. The exhibition will be 

 held in Music Hall, November 11, 12 and 

 13. 



Mr. William Scott wires us that he 

 was un?,ble to send anything for this 

 week 's issue. 



Wellesley, Mass. — H. H. Hunuewell, 

 widely known as a patron of horticulture 

 and owner of one of the most beautiful 

 estates in America, died May 20, aged 

 91 years. The magnificent gardens will 

 be remembered by the members of the 

 S. A. F. who visited them at the in- 

 vitation of Mr. Ilunnewell at the time of 

 the Boston convention. Mr. Hunnewell 

 was a member of the Massachusetts Hor- 

 ticultural Society for over fifty years 

 and served on many important commit- 

 tees. In his extensive gardens could be 

 found examples of all that is beautiful 

 in nature. He was particularly fond of 

 rhododendrons and possessed the largest 

 private collection in the country. 



New Durham, N. J.— J. W. Bolmer, 

 foreman for E. Asmus, died recently as 

 the final result of a slight cut in his 

 thumb, which had probably been poisoned 

 by some insecticide. He was 29 years 

 of age and leaves a widow and two 

 small children. 



West Hoboken, N. J. — Charles H. 

 Downie, for many years with Peter 

 Henderson & Co., died May 19 of pneu- 

 monia, aged 37 years. He was born in 

 Nova Scotia and came to New York in 

 1889. He leaves a widow and a son. 



M.vroa, III. — Mrs. Eliza A. Cooper 

 will take a trip to Europe this summer
