TELEGRAPH GERANIUM 



Did you see it planted out in 



Government Grounds, Washington? 



4 -inch pot plant "Telegraph." 



All Progressive Florists are 

 Placing Telegraph in Stock 



SOME OF THE REASONS WHY : 



Teleg:raph is becoming universally popular. 

 Telegraph's brilliant scarlet cerise color is most attractive. 

 Telegraph's immense trusses^ borne on long, stiff stems, 



appeal to the most critical. 

 Telegraph's blooming qualities and strength of growth 



are ail that could be desired. 

 Truly a grand bedder and greenhouse geranium.

 ESTABLISHMENT, INSIDE AND OUT. 



Extra strong 2j^-in. stock (the finest you ever saw) $6 per 100.

THE READERS' CORNER, 



THE PERFECT 



Asten. 



I would like to write you a few lines 

 in regard to asters wilting when about 

 four inches and over in height, also when 

 blooming. I note an article written by 

 J. P. B., page 556, of the August 3 issue, 

 speaking of the same trouble that I am 

 having this year. Never before has it 

 happened to me, and it did not trouble 

 my asters till now, or about four weeks 

 ago. My asters are on soil that has not 

 been worked for several years, the sod 

 plowed under last fall. It was in good 

 shape this spring, and well pulverized. 

 About a week ago I found a plant that 

 had just wilted. I took it up and found 

 a large, white worm, usually called the 

 grub worm, and have since found many 

 in my yard and not doing any damage ex- 

 cept to the asters, so far as I can see. 

 I set out about 1,500 plants and about 

 one-fourth of them are gone, and I should 

 like to know if land plaster and lime 

 mixed would kill such pests by putting it 

 on the surface and then drag it into the 

 soil that is for next season's use. I 

 am discouraged with my asters this 

 year. All of the other stock is in fine 

 shape. 



I wish you could tell me what is the 

 cause of Eex begonias losing all their 

 leaves to the stems and then beginning 

 to shoot out new ones. These are last 

 winter 's cuttings and were doing fine till 

 about six weeks ago. Is there any par- 

 ticular soil or temperature for themf

Omaha, Neb. — Herbert Slocombe 

 makes a specialty of sweet peas, growing 

 them by the acre, and has had a very 

 successful season. He ships to the prin- 

 cipal western cities and his business al- 

 ways excites much local interest during 

 the sweet pea season. He is also a large 

 violet grower.
