FLOWER FASHIONS. 



' ' The use of very large plants in deco- 

 rations has fallen oflf, " says an English 

 contemporary. ' * Festoons of foliage and 

 flowers have been more the fashion; of 

 course there are some large plants used. 

 The tall Cocos flexuosa, with Crimson 

 Rambler roses, twined round the lower 

 portion of the stem, and archways of 

 roses are among the newer features of 

 decorations. Much more cut bloom is 

 now used in place of pot plants. The 

 carnations on long stems in vases are 

 always a great feature in decorations, 

 and where pot plants of hybrid perpetual 

 roses were used formerly, we now have 

 the cut blooms on long stems. The tall 

 table stands are quite out of fashion. 

 Short vases with Icmg-stemmeid < flowers 

 are more natural' and certainly more 

 elegant. It is impossible to say what 

 changes may take place in the future, 

 but at present the tendency seems to be 

 more «nd more in favor of cut foliage 

 and flowers, rather than pot plants for 

 all indoor decorations, and with suitable 

 vases there is certainly much advantage 

 in avoiding wet and heavy pots; but this 

 of course may be carried too far. We 

 must have some pot plants, and the tall 

 palms with the pots covered with moss 

 and flowers will always remain a neces- 

 sity ,ta-J?cll finished decorations." 



' ^ *MILDEW. 



We have some rose plants which have a 

 kind of white dust on them, and the 

 leaves draw up and the plants will not 

 grow. I enclose a cutting showing how 

 the leaves are affected. I shall appreci- 

 ate any information you may give me. 



G. W. J. 



These roses are suffering from a severe 

 attack of mildew. Assuming that these 

 roses are grown under glass, the most 

 effective remedy at this season is flow- 

 ers of sulphur dusted over the foliage. 

 By adding to the sulphur one-third of air- 

 slaked lime it helps to distribute the 

 sulphur more evenly and also helps to 

 release the fumes. 



As a preventive give plenty of ventila- 

 tion, both day and night, and take care 

 to prevent any draughts and Sudden 

 fluctuations of temperature. Ribes.
