TROUBLE WITH ENCHANTRESS. 



We come to you in trouble. We have 

 a bed of Enchantress carnation benched 

 in July, the glass put on early in Sep- 

 tember. It has been top dressed twice. 

 A great many of the plants have long, 

 healthy stems and buds, also two or 

 three puny, yellow stems and buds on 

 the same plant. If you could give us 

 any advice it would be appreciate'!. 



L. A. D. 



I am inclined to think that the top 

 dressing was too strong, or that you al- 

 lowed the soil to get too wet right after 

 it was applied. You do not state of what 

 the top dressing consisted or the quan- 

 tity applied, so I can only guess by the 

 behavior of the plants. The fact that 

 there are fine, long stems and f-ickly 

 shoots on the same plants shows that 

 there was a severe check of some sort 

 and likely too much food just after it. 

 Enchantress is a fine, strong growing 

 variety when it is handled properly, but 

 it easily loses its stride and usually the 

 first signs are those sickly looking 

 shoots. Let them get a little on the dry 

 side and run them a little dry for a few 

 weeks and I think the trouble will dis- 

 appear. Just before you water them 

 the first time, sprinkle a little air-.slaked 

 lime on the soil and water it in.
