FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 

 Trade in general lias been fairly good. 

 The stores were all in gala attire for 

 !^t. Valentine's day and the prospects 

 were fine for a rushing business. Stock 

 IS plentiful, with the exception of Easter 

 lilies, which are hard to get. Violets, 

 sweet peas, valley and orchids are the 

 flowers that seem to be the most in de- 

 mand.

PREVENT DELPHINIUM DISEASE. 



Will you tell me how to ])rrv('nt d<d- 

 liliiiiium ''l)lack disease,'' or how to 

 (•iiml)a.t it if it does appear? 



K. F. M.— la. 



The disease you refer to attacks most 

 frequently those delphiniums which are 

 in need of transplantin};; and dividing, 

 and, in the writer's experience, young 



stock or stock divided and replanted once 

 in three years in ground which has been 

 well liriird in ad\anct! is not likidy to 

 take the disease .'^praying with Bor- 

 deau.x mixture, as soon as the growths 

 ajipear above the ground, is advised, to 

 be continued once a week until the 

 flower sjdkes are pushing uj) niif) you 

 can see the Ituils. Do not w;iit until the 

 disease sliows itself. C. W.
