bu reasonably effective in each locality. 

 If this can be done, it should establish 

 the acid treatment as the most profitable 

 method which has so far been exten- 

 sively tested." 



The author emphasizes the fact that 

 "no treatment applied after germina- 

 tion begins can have the maximum 

 value in controlling the disease, because 

 the damping-oft" parasites frequently, if 

 not usually, do part of their work be- 

 fore the seedlings appear above the soil. 

 Furthermore, any treatment at all ef- 

 fective against the disease is almost cer- 

 tain to hurt the seedlings if applied 

 after the seed starts to sprout." 



The disappointing feature of the bul- 

 letin is, that it contains no description 

 of the method to be followed in apply- 

 ing the sulphuric acid. A detailed ac- 

 count of this operation may be found, 

 however, in another bulletin, No. 453, 

 issued by the United States Department 

 of Agriculture in 1917, under the title, 

 "The Control of Damping-off of Conif- 

 erous Seedlings. ' '

The Market. 



Last week business showed some signs 

 (if awakening, especially as regards holi- 

 day plants and novelties. The advance 

 offerings of greenery, roping, wreaths, 

 boughs, etc., have come in large supply 

 and at slightly reduced prices, as com- 

 pared with last year. Potted plants 

 include cyclamens, begonias, cherries, 

 rubbers, ferns, palms, evergreens, box, 

 jiepjiers, dracamas, genistas, aspidistras, 

 liougainvilleas, e.-tlenduias, cinerarias, 

 arauearias .'uid others. One of the fea- 

 tures of the Christmas offerings this 

 \ear is tlie iiuTe.isiugly large number of 

 l)u]bous ])lants in lilodin. Fancy dishes 

 with narcissi, ]i;iiis of tulips, hyacinths 

 and lilies, a^ well as jiots with single 

 jilants, furnish great variety and pleas- 

 ing color to the stores. Prices are also 

 nnusu.'illy reasonable, especially for holi- 

 day selling. 



Hoses, c;n'ii;it idiis. lidiiwirdia. caliMidii- 

 las and the last arrivals of the elirys- 

 anthemnins furnish the staples for the 

 general market, at jirices that are with- 

 in the reach of everyone desirous of a 

 few cut flowers or mori' imjiosing bou- 

 quets. A few weddings and social gath- 

 erings have given a slight impetus to 

 the demand, but it is to funeral work 

 dealers turn for the greatest activity.
