the front ranks. The last-named still 

 is high-priced, but it will be the leading 

 garden lily in America in a few years. 

 Regarding CL. candidum, I have never 

 seen it flower as late as mid-August. 

 It can be forced moderately and flow- 

 ered by the end of March, but I do not 

 know of any way to retard and flower 

 it at this season. L. candidum cannot 

 be held in cold storage with success, 

 like other lily bulbs, as it starts to pro- 

 duce leaves in late summer. These re- 

 main gfreen through the winter. If 

 held in cold storage I am afraid these 

 leaves would be destroyed and with 

 them the likelihood of the bulbs flower- 

 ing successfully. Cover the candidums 

 four inches deep and plant no later than

ASTEB BLIGHT. 



Will you please inform me what 

 causes blight on asters in the field and 

 suggest a remedy for itf Our stock 

 was partly grown in pots and partly in 

 the field, and apparently was in first- 

 class condition until the buds began to 

 form, when a large percentage of the 

 plants became affected with blight. 

 They turn a light green and die. The 

 plants were put in the field about May 

 10 to 20. The variety was Queen of 

 the Market. Our greenhouse stock of 

 Crego is fine, although lately, just as 

 the plants are about to bloom, a good 

 many wither and die. Something 

 seems to work up through the stem.

The cause of this aster blight is but 

 imperfectly understood. During the 

 present summer, due probably in a con- 

 siderable measure to peculiar climatic 

 conditions, the loss of plants has been 

 abnormally heavy. This is particularly 

 true of plants set out on land which

previously has been used for asters and 

 which had the trouble in a more or less 

 aggravated form. The fungus causing 

 this wilt is supposed to live over in 

 the soil in the same way as the fungus 

 causing carnation stem-rot. Therefore, 

 all affected plants should be pulled up 

 and burned and not thrown on any 

 rubbish heap. 



It is quite necessary for successful 

 aster culture to give a change of soil 

 each year, especially if there has been 

 any blight on the plants. I would sug- 

 gest that you lime the soil freely 

 in the fall and plow the land, leaving 

 it rough over winter. It is a good 

 plan to plow all land to be used for 

 asters in the fall. I have noted a lot 

 of blight this season on asters planted

The theory that the market for com-

 to large cities is disproved in figures
