A VIOLET PROBLEM, 



Mr. .7, .7. M. I'arrell : 



Dear Sir — Would you liiudly inform me 

 what makes violets sliow tlieir neclis in- 

 stead of their flowers"? Is this due to their 

 culture? I have a small house of Princess 

 of Wales violets which were planted last 

 September in lienches with a small mulch 

 of cow manure in the bottom of the lienches 

 and tilled with good loam. Since then they 

 have only had a dressing of wood ashes 

 and a waterins with liyuid cow manure. 

 The plants are healthy and full of buds, 

 with stems eight to ten inches in length 

 and the stems are fairly strong. We run 

 the house around 4'J at night and .=iO to 5'2 

 on bright days and around 4(i on dull days. 

 Anv information or remedy that will over- 

 come this trouble will be greatly appre- 

 ciated. ^^- '^• 



New York. 



It seems to me there is something 

 very wrong in their culture. It might 

 be heavy fumigations, a too rich soil, 

 or a very darl< house. There are so 

 many causes that can lead to violets 

 not opening their flowers right that 

 it would be hard to say without more 

 knowledge of all the conditions under 



which they are growing. Any condi- 

 tion that tends to enfeeble their con- 

 stitution will produce trouble. Your 

 temperatures are all right. Your com- 

 post may be at fault. You probably 

 will not be able to do very much with 

 them this year as their season is draw- 

 ing to a close now. Following the 

 nptes in Horticii-tvre from time to 

 time will give you a good start for 

 another year.
