AGATILSA CCELESTIS. 



I am mailing you a spocinu'ii plant 

 and should like to have you determine 

 for me the name of this plant and, if 

 any, what its commercial value is. It 

 grows well and has a bright little flow^er. 



P. S.— Mich. 



The shoot appears to be that of 

 Agathsea coelestis, or the blue mar- 

 guerite, a^ it is commonly called. This 

 makes a neat little pot plant for spring 

 sales and does fairly well bedded out.

TROUBLE WITH EASTER LILIES. 



I beg to make inquiry regarding a 

 peculiar disease prevalent in my Easter 

 lilies. They came up well and looked 

 promising until they were about two or 

 three inches high. Tlieir color was good 

 and, so far as I could see, the cultural 

 conditions were about as they should 

 have been. The soil is a sandy loam. 

 The little manure used was well decayed 

 and thoroughly mixed with the soil. The 

 first evidence of the disease is the dying 

 of the lower leaves. The plants then 

 take on a stunted appearance, while the 

 growth is slow and distorted. The color 

 remains, but presently a decay appears 

 in the stem and the plant dies. This decay 

 is present in every stage of the disease, 

 and starts at the base of the bulb. In 

 some cases the stem is quite hollow. The 

 fact that about fifty per cent of the 

 plants are in prime condition leads me 

 to believe that the fault is in the bulb. 

 However, I should like to be enlightened 

 upon the subject. W. C. K. — Kan. 



The trouble is undoubtedly in the 

 bulbs. It can be aggravated somewhat 

 by keeping bulbs too moist in the early 

 stages of growth. It is always well to 

 keep lilies a good deal on the dry side
