and recently succeeded in getting $80. 

 Mr. Blackman said he was in a posi- 

 tion to know that local agents have au- 

 thority to pay (flaims up to $25. The 

 chief reason for frozen shipments, he 

 believed, is the employment of cheap 

 and inefficient help by the express com- 

 panies. 



The following names were proposed 

 as members of the association: Peter 

 Bogies, Indianapolis; T. E. Kenworthy, 

 Richmond, and Mr. Correll, Liberty, 

 Frank A. Wallace, state entomologist, 

 was proposed for honorary membership. 

 Allen Humason was unanimously elect- 

 ed an associate member. 



An invitation from the Evansville 

 Florists' Club, asking the association 

 to hold its October meeting in that city, 

 was read and its acceptance urged by 

 William Blackman. The association ac- 

 cepted the invitation with thanks. 



Secretary Steinkamp was authorized 

 to assure Mr. Lieber that the association 

 was heartily in accord with his plan 

 to beautify Indiana and that the asso- 

 ciation was in favor of the proposed 

 botanical garden. 



The next meeting of the association 

 will be held Julv 10. E. E. T. 



FRENCH HYDRANGEAS AILING. 



I had a good stock of potted French 

 hydrangeas in a house last February. 

 They were all right until the middle 

 of March, when they became yellow, 

 and now the flowers are small and 

 shriveled. The soil consisted of one- 

 fourth cow manure, a little bone meal 

 and some sand. I syringe the plants 

 daily with the hose, and the foliage 

 has become black, as if it were burned. 

 The glass is shaded. Can you tell me 

 what to do with them? 



W. H. W.— Cal. 



Without knowing something more of 

 your cultural conditions, I would not 

 like to hazard an opinion as to the cause 

 of your hydrangeas doing so poorly. 

 French hydrangeas, if well ripened, 

 stand forcing well. Such soil as you 

 gave them should have proved suitable. 

 These plants love a generous soil, need 

 plenty of water, and when well rooted 

 they enjoy applications of liquid manure 

 until the flower heads show color. They 

 do not need any shade until the flower 

 heads arc expanded, at which period
