OYdiAMBN MITE. 



Can you tell us the cause of the short 

 stems on our cyclamens at this season? 

 Is there a cure for this trouble f The 

 plants are in 7-inch pots and are well- 

 leaved, with the blossom near the bulb. 



J. L. H.— la. 



The most probable cause of short- 

 stemmed flowers is cyclamen mite. This 

 both dwarfs and disfigures the flowers 

 and, in a lesser degree, the foliage. You 

 can do little at this stage to remedy 

 the trouble, but persistent fumigation 

 and rather frequent spraying with nico- 

 tine, being sure to have it reach the 

 axils of leaves and flower stalks, is be- 

 lieved to ameliorate conditions. I 

 doubt, however, if there is any real 

 cure for mite, and, if you really have 

 this trouble, I should advise dropping 

 cyclamen culture for one season.

NAMES OF THUJAS. 



I enclose two pieces of arbor-vitse 

 and should like to know the correct 

 name of each. B. F. G. — Va. 



As nearly as I can tell from the 

 samples sent, one is Thuja occidentalis 

 and the other T. occidentalis pumila.

GEBANXOMS NOT FLOWEBINa. 



For the last few years I have been 

 growing geraniums, but did not have any 

 success in getting them to bloom by the 

 middle of May. The plants are always 

 big and sturdy, but do not seem to 

 bloom early enough. The cuttings were 

 put in the sand in the fall. What fer- 

 tilizers should be mixed with the soil 

 to force the blooms? A. S. 



The chief cause for geraniums not 

 blooming is the use of too rich a soil. 

 With a lot of nitrogen in the soil they 

 make a rank, but flabby, growth, which 

 will produce but few flowers. This holds 

 good both when bedded out and in pots. 

 I have never had any trouble in flower- 

 ing geraniums freely, but have used a 

 compost far from rich. To each bushel of 

 soil I add a 4-inch pot of fine bone and 

 mix this thoroughly. Avoid all fresh 

 manure; that which is old and crumbly

is safe to use in the proportion of one- 

 fourth manure to three-fourths loam. 

 Loam from a sod heap which has been 

 stacked a couple of seasons is ideal for 

 geraniums, but old chrysanthemum soil 

 answers well if you add the bone to it. 

 What you need is a short, stocky, firm 

 growth. This is sure to give you 

 flowers. 



Geraniums need a bright, sunny 

 house. They should never be sprayed 

 overhead, as this tends to make them

soft. They enjoy an abundance of pure, 

 fresh air and will not stand coddling. 

 It is better to run them a little on the 

 dry side during winter than the re- 

 verse. Firm potting is desirable; plants 

 loosely potted will make a softer growth 

 than those with the soil well firmed. I 

 think if you will follow out some of 

 these suggestions you will have no 

 trouble in making your plants flower 

 by the middle of May. C. W.
