Editor Horticulture: 



1 am sendiQg you some gardenia buds 

 which are drooping olT our plants. Would 

 be pleased if you could let me know the 

 cause. They are two-year-old plants. We 

 are keeping them around 70 degress, night, 

 and 80 to 85, daytiiiip. with sun heat 

 They have been fed almut once a week 

 with cow manure and Clay's, alternately. 

 The plants are in a fairly healthy con- 

 dition. 



Yours sincerely, 



N. .1. I' li H. 



Editor Horticulture: 



Dear Sir— Your favor of the 24th inst 

 to hand with sample buds and letter 

 from P. E. H. We note that his plants 

 are two years old. We prefer to plant 

 new plants every year; we should ad- 

 vise discontinuing manure water and 

 with the coming of cooler weather the 

 trouble with the buds will disappear. 

 Very truly yours, 



F. .1. DOLANSKT.

WASHINGTON NOTES. 



The annual floral show of the Brook- 

 land Brotherhood was this year a 

 marked success. Some fine stock was 

 shown and the attendance was heavier 

 than ever before. Flower shows of 

 this type are becoming extremely pop- 

 ular around the ■ city and are being 

 fostered by the florists as they in- 

 crease the love of and the demand 

 for cut flowers. A number of at- 

 taches of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture acted as judges. 



Mrs. F. H. Kramer is In New York 

 this week, having gone to that city to 

 meet her husband who, with other 

 members of the band of Minute Men, 

 h^ve returned from a tour .oi | Gser^ 

 many, France and England. 



William F. Gude. and a number of 

 other florists aided at the reception 

 tendered by the business organiza-, 

 tion of Washin.i;ton to the three new- 

 ly appointed commissioners of the 

 District of Columbia. In all about 

 700 merchants and business men 

 were present. The affair was given in 



CLIMBING CUT WORM. 



"R. R.", Mass., submits specimens 

 of gray colored grubs doing severe 

 damage in his greenhouses. They are

 placed at the base of each plant Is 

 also an effective help.
