BUKNING OF SOHIZANTHUS. 



Can you offer any suggestion as to 

 the probable cause of the burning of 

 the new leaf tips and later of the flower- 

 ing shoots of hybrid, large-flowered 

 schizanthus? 



My practice is to shift the plants 

 from 3-iiich ])ots to 4-inch pots, to 5- 

 inch, to 6-inch, to 8-inch. The burning 

 usually commences in the 6-ineh. Nearly 

 twenty per cent arc .so affected. When 

 the flowering shoots commence to push 

 up the tips burn, turning a dark green, 

 and then die. New laterals come up 

 and in some instances produce flowers, 

 but the most affected plants are stunted 

 and imperfect. Such plants are appar- 

 ently as vigorous as the unaffected, up 

 to that point. 



This occurs before any feeding is 

 done. All the plants are potted in the 

 same light, fibrous loam, and have the 

 same care. They are grown in a light, 

 airy house, close to the glass. The 

 temperature ranges from 80 degrees 

 on bright, clear days to 60 degrees mini- 

 mum at night. I have been unable to 

 flower them at all in a temperature 

 lower than 50 degrees at night. The 

 perfect plants flower and make fine 

 specimens in 8-inch pans in throe to 

 four months from sowing. 



W. G. P.— Cal. 



This burning of schizanthus occurs to 

 some extent on plants grown in both the 

 eastern and western states. It also ap- 

 pears on plants in Great Britain, being 

 most noticeable there when a bright, 

 sunny day succeeds a number of dark 

 ones. Sometimes fumigation will start 

 this trouble, the plants most affected 

 being those driest at the roots, but I 

 have come to the conclusion that the 

 burning is not caused by soil conditions 

 but sunshine, and in your brighter and 

 warmer state the trouble would be likely 

 to be worse than in our colder ones. It 

 is hard to explain why one plant will 

 burn and not another, when under sim- 

 ilar treatment and growing in the same 

 soil. Usually plants which are some- 

 what dry on a hot, clear day will suffer, 

 while those moist at the root will not. 

 Heavy feeding will greatly aggravate 

 the trouble. 



The big specimon .schizanthus seen at 

 shows in Boston, Xcw York and Phila- 

 delpliia, five to seven feet in diameter, 

 are always grown cool, 45 degrees at 

 night being considered better than 50 

 degrees at niglit for them, as it makes 

 them much more stocky. At the last 

 potting, soil such as is used for mums 

 and roses is found suitable, and liquid 

 manure and top-drossings of fertilizer 

 are applied when the pots are full of 

 roots. I think that if you used a light 

 shade on your glass and ran a somewhat 

 lower night temperature, you would have 

 better results and greatly reduce the 

 burning. C. W.
