Answers to Correspondents. 



Rerlew readers are Invited to send any ques- 

 tions relating to culture or marketing of plants 

 and flowers In Philadelphia, to Phil, in care of 

 the leading seed or commission booses or the 

 Flower Market. Each question will be submitted 

 to a competent person and answered under num- 

 ber. Correct name and address must always 

 accompany inquiry, but will not be published. 



56. What causes jthe fronds of Ne- 

 phrolepis Scottii to curl, rendering the 

 plant unsightly? 



A. This trouble is no doubt due to a 

 check which the plant receives at the 

 roots, be it over-watering or drying out. 

 Severe drying out causes the trouble 

 more frequently than any other cause. 

 Where the plants are grown in the open 

 ground, in benches, where there is a 



uniform amount of moisture at 

 times, the trouble rarely appears.

ROCHESTER. N. Y. 



The cut flower market has shown an 

 encouraging improvement this week. 

 Asters, for the best grade, have brought 

 $1.50 per hundred; roses, $3 to $3.50, 

 and gladioli, $2 per hundred spikes. 

 Some nice Liberty roses were on sale, 

 but unfortunately they were too short- 

 stemmed for other than piece-work. 

 Since the cut flower people have closed 

 their stores at noon Saturday, the mar- 

 ket is practically dead until Monday. 

 While the clerks dese^e a rest as well 

 as other employees, this idea of com- 

 pletely closing up is hard on perishable 

 stock, and the trouble might easily be 

 obviated by other arrangements. 



A brighter feeling seems to pervade 

 the trade, and with cooler weather the 

 outlook for an active fall becomes more 

 promising. F. S. P. 



Elyria, O. — J. T. Copaa has been 

 away, storing up energy for another busy 

 season. 



Bloomington, Pa. — D. W. Crevelingis 

 building ah addition of 120 feet to his 

 greenhouse on the Light street road. 

 This will be devoted, as is his other 

 space, to the growing of early vege- 

 tables. 



Harrisburg, Pa. — Louis Salingre has 

 resigned his position as head gardener 

 for Hon. Dan Cameron, and will go in 

 partnership with Gustave Hanson, the 

 business to be known as the Paxton 

 Greenhouses. 



Milwaukee, Wis. — One of the small- 

 est lean-to houses probably erected, with 

 modern equipment, is that built by H. 

 W. Protzman, on Twenty-eighth street. 

 The house has three benches, ventila- 

 tors, water connections, etc. The heat- 

 ing consists of one Furman boiler, and 

 2-inch pipe coils under each bench. 

 Flowers for private use will be raised.
