are best put over the nuits as tliey keep rain from the latter 

 and facilitate the removal of snow. Covers should be removed for 

 at least part of every day, excepting the frost should be suf- 

 ficiently severe to freeze the ground inside the frames in which 

 case the cover may remain until a rise in temperature, liut this 

 rarely happens in Pennsj'lvania. Give all the air possilde. taking 

 advantage of ^unnv days in midwinter to clean up the plants 

 and pick the flowers. " ARTHUR SMITH.

ORCHIDS 



"The article in the September 'Chronicle' on 

 Aquatic Gardening interested me, but why, may I ask, 

 do we find so little aquatic planting on the country es- 

 tates? Is it because gardeners in general aie not famil- 

 iar with them? My gardener frankly confesses that he 

 does not understand their method of growing and that 

 it is the work of a specialist. Can you recommend any 

 practical books on the subject from which he can se- 

 cure some knowledge on growing them?" — Estate 

 Owner, Conn. 



"Can any of your readers recommend a successful 

 remedy for ridding a badly infested house of the cat- 

 tleya fly? I have tried spraying and fumigating and 

 even cutting the fly out of the leaf, but I do not seem 

 to be able to get the better of it. Is hydrosyanic-acid 

 gas safe to use in an orchid house, and would this be 

 effective?" — L. M., Missouri. 



"I would like to get some information on the culti- 

 vating of the blueberry, which I understand is finely 

 grown on some of the estates in Massachusetts. They 

 grow to perfection in our section in the wild state, but 

 we do not seem to succeed in cultivating them suc- 

 cessfully. Any information you can give me regard- 

 ing their culture will be appreciated." — U. M., Nova 

 Scotia.
