TULIPS ROTTING. 



We would like to ask you about some 

 Le Eeine tulip bulbs. We planted them 

 the same as the rest. The La Eeine all 

 decayed in the center and some of the 

 bulbs were rotted altogether. We had 

 yellow and red ones with them and they 

 were aU right. The iulbs were sound 

 when planted. We put horse manure on 

 them about four to six inches thick and 

 they were planted in time. The florists 

 around this city say it is in the bulbs. 



B. O. S. 



We take it for granted that you have 

 been forcing these yellow and red and 

 La Beine tulips and thus found out the 

 condition of the La Beine. If the other 

 tulips received the same treatment and 

 are forcing all right, it is difficult to 

 account for the decay among the La 

 Beine. In all the years we have been 

 forcing tulips we have never seen bulbs 

 decay. We have more than once seen 

 La Eeine come blind, but that was merely 

 poorly ripened or weak bulbs which never 

 should have been sold us. 



If you put six inches of horse manure 

 on the flats or pans you did very un- 

 wisely. That quantity, if fresh, would 

 heat and may account for the decay. We 

 can account for it in no other way. Bulbs 

 put into flats or pans for forcing should 

 ije first covered with two or three inches 

 of light soil, then five or six inches of 

 stable litter to keep out severe frost is all 

 right, but fresh manure put right on the 

 bulbs is all wrong. You may have had 

 the manure thicker and warmer over the 

 La Beine than the others. W. S. 



Amelia, O. — Charles Pommert reports 

 the demand for goldfish as exceeding his 

 already large facilities. He is building 

 seven additional ponds, covering six 

 acres, for next season. 



Hageestown, Md. — Henry Bester will 

 build two large rose bouses the coming 

 summer. His carnations are now in the 

 pink of perfection. The demand is 

 greater than the supply. He has a varie- 

 gated seedling of Lawson and also a 

 tvhite seedling of Enchantress, inad- 

 vertly reported as sports in the issue of 

 February 2. Wm. Bester will make ex- 

 tensive improvements and additions to 

 his already large area of glass. His 

 stock of roses and carnations are in good 

 condition. The demand for good stuflf 

 is increasing at better prices than in 

 former vears. 



The Beview is just the paper, — C. H. 

 Hayden, Dexter, Me.
