SNAPDBAGONS FOR MAY. 



When should I sow the seed of snap- 

 dragons 80 that they will bloom during 

 the months of May and June? 



J. E. S.— Pa. 



Sow the seed about the end of Febru- 

 ary. Pot them off singly and plant 

 them in benches or beds, before they 

 become too much potbound. C. W. 



SUNBUBNED PALM LEAF. 



We are sending under separate cover 

 an aspidistra leaf, which is an example 



of how our palms have been affected 

 for some time. The plant has been 

 housed in a residence parlor for about 

 three years. Last summer it was 

 shifted into an 8-ineh ppt and about 

 six months ago leaf after leaf became 

 spotted, as the sample shows. The 

 plant itself gave off a disagreeable 

 odor, especially when being watered. 

 We have divided the plant into three 

 clumps of about fifteen leaves each and 

 have kept the plants for two weeks 

 in the greenhouse in a semi-sunny place. 

 Will you tell us what the trouble is? 



A. P.— Mich. 



The aspidistra leaves show no partic- 

 ular disease, but they are badly sun- 

 burned. This injury has been done 



by a defective pane of glass, the latter 

 most likely having a large blister on it. 

 When the sun's rays strike such a blis- 

 ter from a certain angle, a first-rate 

 burning glass is at once formed. The 

 odor referred to is simply that of 

 burned vegetable matter. The best 

 cure would be to find the defective glass 

 and to paint it with thin white paint on 

 the under side. W. H. T.

Columbus, O. — T. J. Blinco, who has 

 been florist at the Columbus state hos- 

 pital, has resigned his position to go 

 into business with his two brothers.
