PHOENIX FUNGUS. 



I enclose a piece of a palm leaf and 

 would like to know the nature of the 

 disease with which it is infested, tlie 

 cause and the remedy? E. F. G. 



An examination of the specimen en- 

 closed with this query shows quite plain- 

 ly that the trouble in question is another 

 case of the phoenix fungus, a fungoid de- 

 velopment that has been noted several 

 times in these columns. 



There is no real specific for this fun- 

 gus, from the fact that its growth takes 

 place within the tissue of the leaf, and 

 the wart-like protuberances that appear 

 on the surface are due to the fungus 

 pushing up its spore-bearing growths 

 through an enlarged pore of the leaf. 



The fungus seems to be encouraged by 

 eool and damp treatment, and it is there- 

 fore thought best to keep the affected 

 plants in a slightly higher temperature 

 than usual, say 60 to 65 degrees, and not 

 to syringe in cold and cloudy weather, 

 also to ventilate as freely as the weather 

 will allow. In other words, to encourage 

 root action and general good health in 

 order to g^ow the plant out of the dis- 

 ease as much as possible, though very bad 

 eases seldom yield to treatment.

(Of Maceo.) 



RED SPORT 



Tbls new "Bread and Butter" commercial brilliant "Crane" Red Carnation, now in its fonrtb 

 year, bas tbe bardy constitution of General Maceo, with a stronger beavier growth, longer and stiSer 

 stem and a larger flower. Growing under the same conditions and in tbe same bouse with Flamingo 

 and Estelle it bas produced four times as many blooms as tbe former and twice as many blooms as 

 tbe latter. Tbe color is as good as Estelle and tbe bloom brings as much as does Estelle at its best. 

 Every flower is of a uniform brilliant red, perfectly double with an ideal calyx, in fact we never saw 

 a split one. 



Bed Sport is perfectly bealtby. an easy variety to grow, an early and continuous bloomer, 

 throwing its heaviest cats around tbe Christmas holidays and during the Winter montbs when red is 

 in demand. Bed Sport will keep longer and travel farther than any other red carnation, and will 

 prove a bonanza to tbe grower wbo does a shipping business. If tbe scarcity of reds in tbe market 

 that now exists continues Bed Sport will pay better to tbe square foot of bench than any other 

 variety of any color to date. Every florist wbo has seen Bed Sport growing has placed an order 

 for rooted cuttings, which tells tbe tale. All our stock is sold up to January 25tb. Orders filled in 

 strict rotation from that date on. Price. 12 for 11.50, 25 for $2.50. 50 for 14.00 all post paid. 16.00 per 100, 

 $60.00 per 1000, by express. We guarantee all cuttings to be well rooted and to arrive in good condition.
