is after "hearting" begins that leaf 

 burn usually makes its appearance and it 

 is very disappointing to a grower to se« 

 his nice lettuce getting brown or rot- 

 ting around the edges of the leaves just 

 when the crop is nearing the mature 

 stage and when the return for all his 

 labor and trouble was about to be real- 

 ized. 



Of course, this is not always th? case 

 but, on the other hand, it cannot always 

 be avoided. The lowering of the tempera- 

 ture of the house often helps to check 

 the spread of the disease but if the crop 

 is far enough advanced to be fit for mar- 

 ket, the best and surest plan is to cut 

 and market the crop as soon as possible, 

 as it is a hard matter to entirely stop 

 the spread of the disease where once it 

 has got a good start. 



If head lettuce has to be grown on 

 benches get as hardy a variety as possi- 

 ble (we find Deacon the least susceptible 

 to disease), keep the benches well stirred 

 and clean, the atmosphere of the liouse 

 sweet and use every possible means to 

 keep the growth firm until the dull, shorr, 

 days ar© over. W. S. Ckoydon. 



Belleville, III. — Christmas business 

 was never better than this year with all 

 in the trade here. Holly and green were 

 abundant and sold out clean. 



Please accept my thanks for the Pro- 

 nouncing Dictionary which you have 

 added to your already valuable columns 

 and which has enhanced their value one 

 round dollar more. — E. J. Thomas. 



Chambersbuko, Pa, — ^Byer Bros, say 

 Christmas business was much better than 

 last year, with prices about the same. In 

 cut flowers, roses, carnations and violets 

 sold best; very little call for hyacinths 

 or narcissi. Blooming plants, such as 

 azaleas, poinsettias and primroses, were 

 in strong demand, with very light call for 

 foliage plants. Holly had an extra heavy 

 <all, with only fair quality available.
