WINTERSON'S SHOW PANSIES 



Andromeda 



The lovely flower is striking by its gay 

 color and elegant habit, and has in short-

 Pansies. Its color is a very delicate

 lavender blue.

 ers of largest size, borne very freely 

 in great diversity of colors. Espe- 

 cially rich in red and wine shades.

LEAF-CrURL ON TOMATOES. 



I have a house full of tomato plants, 

 numbering about 600, and they are just 

 loaded with tomatoes. I trimmed them 

 back, as they were growing fast. Now 

 the leaves are curling up, as you can 

 see. I have sent you a few leaves under 

 separate cover, f am afraid I shall lose 

 the crop. Can you tell me what the 

 trouble is and whether I can do any- 

 thing to help them? L. M. 



The hot weather is responsible for the 

 leaf -curl- on your tomatoes. This will 

 be particularly noticeable if your house 

 is small and gets quite hot. Do not be 

 alarmed, however, as this will not mean 

 the loss of your crop. Ventilate freely; 

 keep the plants well watered, but keep 

 a dry atmosphere; give a mulch of old 

 manure to keep the soil from drying out 

 80 rapidl}', and you will find your crop 

 will ripen satisfactorily. A light shade 

 would be of benefit if your house is 

 small, as it would keep the house cooler.

 plant per season, which is to be con- 

 sidered a satisfactory yield for first- 

 year plants, a large number of which 

 were injured in the course of the ex- 

 periment by overfeeding in the attempt 

 to determine the maximum amount of 

 fertilizer that might safelv be used. 

 Of these 95,01.3 flowers, 45,135 were 

 Killarneys and 49,878 Brides, showing 

 a larger production of Brides under the 

 conditions of the experiment. 



Own-Root or Grafted? 



Of the flowers produced by Killarney, 

 21,297 were produced from own-root 

 stock and 23,838 from grafted, showing 

 a larger production from grafted stock. 

 Of the Brides, similarly, 23,019 were 

 produced from own-root stock and 26,- 

 859 from grafted stock. Results indi- 

 cate, then, that in the order of produc- 

 tion the plants rank as follows: Grafted
