The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



August 17, 1905. 



SOAP SUDS IN LIQUID MANURE. 



Will you kindly tell me if soap suds 

 are injurious to plant life? I have a 

 cistern for storing liquid fertilizer which 

 is manufactured in an open tank and 

 then drained into this cistern and then 

 pumped on the plants as needed 

 through the water pipes. I would like 

 to drain the waste water from the 

 kitchen sink and the stationary wash 

 stands and the water from the weekly 

 washings into it also, but am in doubt 

 as to whether there would be anything 

 injurious in it. C. J. B. 



I am not prepared to say what pro- 

 ])ortion of soap suds would be beneficial 

 or injurious to plants, but think that 

 all the waste water from a kitchen sink 

 would have nothing but good results. We 

 remember very distinctly many years 

 ago that a bed of pansies was situated 

 just outside the kitchen door of a cot- 

 tage. The good wife used to empty the 

 dish water from the kitchen on this 

 bed daily. Whether she emptied her 

 wash tubs there too I do not know, but 

 I guess she did. Whether it was the 

 abundance of moisture or the greasy and 

 soapy water I do not know, but never 

 have I seen a prettier bed of pansies 

 and they flowered until the snow came. 

 I should say if your soap suds are di- 

 luted five or six times their bulk in 

 water they will do no harm. W. S. 



FEVERFEW IN WINTER. 



To have a succession of bloom from 

 feverfew what culture is necessary? Do 

 you cut it back? If so, when? Would 

 it bloom under glass in the winter and if 

 so, which is best, solid beds or pots? 



Southern. 



This old, familiar border plant we 

 consider of little value for cut flowers. 

 Some scattering flowers are produced 

 throughout the summer. When planted 

 out the heaviest crop is in spring. The 

 cutting back of old flower stems is all 

 the stopping the plants need. We do not 

 believe it would pay under any circum- 

 stances to grow it for cut flowers dur- 

 ing winter, so we will not discuss the 

 best method. W. S.
