DISEASED PLANTS. 



Enclosed find sample each of a palm, 

 geranium and hydrangea. They all seem 

 to be affected with the same disease. Can 

 you tell me what is the trouble with 

 them? I did not think much of it until 

 the palm started going the same way. 



J. H. J. 



Besides the above communication I 

 have received a few leaves of diseased 

 zonale geraniums from Dexter, Maine. 

 We think we have been troubled in years 

 past with the geraniums losing their foli- 

 age as the samples enclosed and, as I 

 said a few weeks ago, we considered it 

 caused by unfavorable conditions and 

 when those conditions were remedied the 

 disease disappeared. A damp, close and 

 cool atmosphere, with little ventilation 

 and too much water, has been the cause 

 of the trouble with us and when the 

 bright days of spring came, with more 

 fresh air and active root growth, it dis- 

 appeared. 



There is a most marked resemblance 

 between the dead tissue of the leaf of 

 the palm (I think a kentia) and the hy- 

 drangea, but if this is a disease that is 

 destroying the tissue of the leaf, is it 

 possible that it is the .«ame thing that is 

 attacking such widely different plants as 

 a palm and hydrangea? I regret that I 

 am not a microscopist or don 't have one 

 at hand and therefore could only guess 

 what has killed the tissue of the leaves. 

 At first sight I would have said it was 

 a bad case of sunburn, letting the plants 

 get killing dry and the sun pour down 

 on them through poor glass. But surely 

 J. H. ,T. would know if he had been 

 guilty of that neglect. Here is a case 

 where the horticultural section of the 

 Agricidtural Department at Washington 

 will be a great help to us florists when it 

 gets fully started. Once more, I regret

that I cannot enlighten J. H. J., for ex- 

 cept a burn or a sadly neglected house 

 plant I have never seen anything like it 

 on either a palm or hydrangea. Your 

 state agricultural college should be able 

 to determine whether it is a specific dis- 

 ease and if it's the same on both plants.

The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Tarrytown Horticultural Society was 

 held April 26, President Ballantyne in 

 the chair. Calceolarias were seen at this 

 meeting, for which D. MacFarland, gar- 

 dener for Mrs. H. Walter Webb, Scar-

 hibition in the Lyceum, Tarrytown, June 

 10, open from 3 p. m. to 10 p. m., Fran- 

 ces Pammer, Tarrytown, being elected 

 manager. The society offers a second 

 prize of $10 for Ixjst twelve Dr. Engue- 

 hard chrysanthemum blooms, for which 

 the F. K. Pierson Co. has already offered 

 a silver cup for first prize at the Novem- 

 ber exhibition. The last Tuesday in 

 May being ladies' night, the society 

 hopes for .a good attendance of mem- 

 bers and expects to have a very pleas- 

 ant evening 's entertainment, at which t(* 

 freshments will be served. At the last 

 meeting a paper was read by Wm. Scott,
