DISEASED BOSTON FERNS. 



I have several Boston ferns standing 

 side by side, all having the same treat- 

 ment, but some are spotted like the 

 enclosed fronds and some are all right. 

 I picked off all the spotted fronds but 

 the new ones show spots, too. They are 

 kept cool. What can I do to stop it? 



H. M. K. 



These fern fronds look as though they 

 were spotted by salty water, the speci- 

 mens in question being young fronds 

 that are scarcely half developed, but 

 show decided spots of brown on either 

 side of the center vein, the spots being 

 from one-eighth to one-quarter of an 

 inch in diameter. Ammonia from fresh 

 manure might also cause such an injury 

 though this is more likely to attack 

 the tips of the fronds than the pinnae. 



But without further particulars re- 

 garding temperature and treatment it is 

 rather diflScult to form a definite con- 

 clusion for with a very low tempera- 

 ture and too much water when freshly 

 potted, there is a possibility of injury 

 to these ferns. A night temperature of 

 60 degrees and full sunlight at this sea- 

 son will grow sturdy Boston ferns, pro- 

 vided that they are potted in good rich 

 soil, and given sufficient water.

FUMIGATING SWEET PEAS. 



Will fumigating with tobacco stems 

 injure sweet peas? M. E. G. 



No, we never notiqed that fumigating 

 hurt the sweet peas, either leaf or flow- 

 er. It may do damage if overdone and 

 if you smoke with stems in the old- 

 fashioned way the flowers will have any- 

 thing but their delicious odor on the 

 following day. Use the tin pie dishes 

 and tobacco dust and you will escape 

 that stale tobacco flavor. W. S. 



LiBEETY, Mo. — Paul Stark, who re- 

 cently met with misfortune, expects to re-
