EXAJtflNE THE SOIL. 



1 Hin having trouble with some of my 

 tfi'iauiuins and do not know how to rid 

 the plants of it. I put them in new 

 soil about a month ago and they started 

 off well, but now they have begun to 

 shed their leaves, continuing to do so 

 until all the leaves are off. Last winter 

 they did this and then got over it. I 

 potted them in one-fourth cow manure 

 and a sandy, black soil. I have sent 

 samples of them in a separate package. 

 They are blooming finely and every 

 plant has two blooms. Will you tell 

 mo what the trouble is? 



A. G.— Okla. . 



When the plants act this way, it is 

 advisable to examine the soil at the 

 roots to see if it is in the same condi- 

 tion all the way through. It may be 

 that it is too dry underneath and, 

 though the surface may appear moist, 

 the plants likely are not receiving suf- 

 ficient water at the roots for them to 

 make their best growth. 



Sometimes the trouble comes from 

 potting or planting plants that have a 

 dry ball of roots and until the soil be- 

 comes evenly moist clear through they 

 ■will not make good growth. M. P.

which they are afflicted. What can I 

 do for them? G. W. S.— Kan. 



One cannot determine just what is 

 the trouble by the leaf sent. It seems 

 to have been taken from the lower 

 part of the plant and is one of the older 

 leaves which, through lack of light and 

 air, has commenced to decav. M. P. 



BOOTING POINSETTIAS. 



Will you please tell me the best way 

 to root poinsettias? M. W. H. — Miss. 



In rooting poinsettias, rub off the 



cuttings while they are comfortably 

 short and stocky. Those with heels arc 

 much the best. Lay them in a dish of 

 cold water for a short time. Be sure 

 that the water is pure and do not use 

 a metal dish. You can root the cut- 

 tings singly in small pots of sand and 

 loam, or, if preferred, you can put 

 them in a regular propagating bench, 

 where careful watering, shading and a 

 niinimuqi of ventilation are necessary. 

 Do not let air currents strike them and 

 pot them before the roots are more 

 than one or two inches long. It is best 

 to trim back the leaves on cuttings.
