THE READERS* CORNER. 



Primula Poisoning. 



The writer having lately been severely 

 poisoned, and not having come in con- 

 tact with any poison ivy, Rhus toxico- 

 dendron, ascribes the cause to Priniula 

 obconica. The symptoms of the poison- 

 ing were those characteristic of Ehus 

 toxicodendron, viz., forming of vesicles 

 or small blisters which, after scratching, 

 because so awfully itchy, will run to- 

 gether, forming larger sores, at the same 

 time increasing in number and attack- 

 ing other parts of the body, causing bad 

 swellings and, putting it mildly, giving 

 much discomfort. 



Now I wish to know what the ex- 

 perience is, of other florists, in regard 

 to the poisonous effects of Primula ob- 

 conica. Almost after every handling of 

 these plants I notice an itching on my 

 hands, but not being severe, do not pay 

 much attention to it. But this last time, 

 my face getting th© worst of it, causes 

 me to ask the opinion of the florists, not 

 about my face, to be isure, but of the 

 advisability of running the chances with 

 our customers in selling them such 

 poisonous plants, for surely one could 

 bring a good damage suit against the 

 florist who did so. A. M. 



, Variotis Notes. 



Regarding the new pest of the 

 chrysanthemum described on page 380 

 of the issue for July 21, it seems to be 

 the same pest that infests my asters. No 

 use to say any more. 



If Herman Schlachter wants to be rid 

 of the spite fence described by him 

 July 21, let the parties put their switch 

 through and the fence will be removed, 

 I can assure him. 



To-day, July 22, it was 69 degrees at 

 St. Lows at 7 a. m., and 76 degrees at 

 noon. Not such a hot town, is it? 



ClIAS. JUENGEL. 



Galesbubg, III. — Gesler & Drury have 

 finished benching 14,000 carnation plants. 



New Bedford, Mass. — Joseph V. 

 Pierce has gone to Elmira, N. Y., to take 

 charge of a section for the United States 

 Cut Flower Co. He is a well-liked young 

 man and a good grower. 



HEATING ADDITION. 



We have three greenhouses, each sixty 

 feet long, one twelve feet wide, one six- 

 teen feet and one twenty feet. We are 

 heating with a No. 16 Hitchings boiler. 

 We are now extending all the houses to 

 eighty feet. Would it be safe to heat 

 them with the same boiler? During the 

 past winter when the temperature out- 

 6^ide was 20 degrees below zero we held 

 the temperature at 60 degrees in one 

 house and 52 degrees in others. D. & C. 



To maintain a temperature of 60 de- 

 grees in your completed house, i. e., those 

 eighty feet long, it will require a boiler 

 with a capacity to carry about 1,400 

 feet of radiation, or a boiler with at 

 least 150 feet of heating surface. I ao 

 not have the rating of the Hitchings No. 

 16 at hand, but the makers will furnish 

 this information on application.

An English gardener has raised a cross 

 between the Shasta daisy and Chrysan- 

 themum maximum which seems to promise 

 usefulness. He has named it the Shasta 

 marguerite daisy.
