HIT BY HAIL. 



A recent hail storm destroyed all the 

 glass in our greenhouses and our crop 

 of rose buds and carnation buds are 

 slightly frozen. How may I manage the 

 plants? r. w. E. 



When buds have been badly frozen 

 they are unlikely to develop properly, if 

 at all, and should be removed from the 

 plants as quickly as possible. The rose 

 buds should be cut at the proper eye, 

 just as if they were perfect, tluis secur- 

 ing^ the best eyes for future crops. Car- 

 nations should also be picked with the 

 same care as if they were perfect buds. 



The cultural management should be 

 guided by the extent of damage done to 

 the plants. No forcing or feeding should 

 be practiced until root action is again 

 well established, which will be indicated 

 by the breaking of eyes and the forma- 

 tion of new wcTod. 



Above all give free ventilation, both 

 by night and day, on every favorable 

 occasion and keep the soil rather on 

 the dry side. Use all precautions against 

 mildew, as these checks are just the 

 conditions that favor the germination 

 and spreading of this pest. 



I deeply sympathize with those of our 

 brethren who were so unfortunate as to 

 be situated in the path of the hail 

 storms and floods, and as we happened 

 to be among the number we fully realize 

 the disappointment and loss. I?ibes. 



I HAVE certainly been well pleased with 

 the Review and would not like to be with- 

 out it; I think every florist should take 

 it. — C. L. Shanks, Newton, Kan.
