 regularly to control green fly. If to- 

 bacco stems are used for fumigating, be 

 careful not to scorch the leaves. 



DISEASED LILIUM CANDIDUM. 



We have mailed you some Lilium can- 

 didum which are badly affected with a 

 disease which we are unable to diag- 

 nose. The person who owned these 

 bulbs has always had the best of success 

 with lilies until this spring, when about 

 100 of the plants became affected in the 

 manner indicated by the plants mailed 

 to you. Can you advise us what the dis- 

 ease is and how to combat it? 



R. G.— 111. 



The diseased foliage on L. candidum 

 outdoors is quite common. One year the 

 plants may be perfectly clean and the 

 next year they may be badly affected 

 with the disease. The foliage usually 

 starts to go about the time the buds 

 show on the stalks, but occasionally it 

 is earlier. Certain climatic conditions 

 are favorable for the beginning and 

 the spread of this disease. To coun- 

 teract it and make certain that the 

 plants will be clean, it is absolutely 

 necessary to spray with Bordeaux mix- 

 ture, or some other good fungicide, from 

 the time the plants start to grow in the 

 si)ring until buds show color, spraying 

 once a week. Lime, I fear, will not be 

 of any value in checking the disease.

Roundup, Mont. — A half-page adver- 

 tisement in the Roundup Record May 12, 

 distinctive because of its realistic illus- 

 tration of mother, seated next an oil 

 l.'iiiip on the table and asleep over the 

 stockings she is darning, made Mothers' 

 day an occasion of record-breaking sales 

 for the Roundup Floral Co. 



Kimberly, Wis. — An advertisement 

 placed in the Appleton Post-Crescent 

 by the local American Legion post urg- 

 ing the observance of Mothers' day by 

 means of flowers was regarded by Wil-

 day could have had. Sales for the holi- 

 day made a record with him.
