INJURIOUS EFFECT OF ORDINARY RICH SOIL ON FRANKLINIA 
At the left is a typical healthy young plant of franklinia grown in a standard acid soil. The 
plant at the right which, at the beginning of the year, was a healthy well rooted young cut-

it had become sickly and on July 26, 1923, when the photograph was taken, it was nearly 
dead About one-third natural size
