Bros., of Milwaukee, is in town on a 

 few days' visit. 



Charles Beebe, formerly of Trumbull 

 & Beebe, is contemplating again em- 

 barking in the seed business, in Oak- 

 land. Mr. Beebe lost heavily by our re- 

 cent fire but he is willing to try his 

 lack again. 



S. L. Morris, formerly of San Jose, 

 Cal., has removed to Berkeley, where he 

 will continue in the business of land- 

 scape gardening. 



James O'Neill, Jr., has taken charge 

 of the Myrobolan Nurseries at Hay- 

 wards. 



P. J. Meyer & Co., of Burlingame, 

 are cutting an extra fine lot of Pros- 

 perity and Enchantress carnations. 



The Japanese nurserymen are taking 

 up peddling plants around the outskirts 

 of nearby towns. One ambitious dealer 

 has three wagons steadily employed and 

 is apparently handling considerable 

 ' stock. 



Complaint is made by the sweet pea 

 growers that the excessive moisture of 

 last month has ruined many of the plant- 

 ings and as a consequence there will be 

 a shortage of early flowers. G. 



HOLLYHOCKS. 



The hollyhock is an old garden favor- 

 ite of strong growth and most orna- 

 mental character. A few years ago a 

 disease appeared which made it difficult 

 to grow successfully, but the disease has 

 been controlled and new interest is now 



being taken in hollyhocks. A large 

 number of named varieties is now cata- 

 logued. Plants which have been grown 

 during the winter in pots under glass 

 should be available for planting out in 

 the spring and should be moved as soon 

 as the soil is moderately warm and in 

 good workable condition. Their culti- 

 vation is simple and they should bloom 



early. Where the weather is cool they 

 will continue to bloom for many weeks, 

 but hot weather shortens their flowering 

 period. The hollyhocks are grown in 

 both the single and double forms and 

 there are many varieties to select from. 

 Within the last few years, says the Na- 

 tional Council of Horticulture, a strain 

 has been developed which will bloom the 

 first year from seed. By starting them 

 in March and giving attention to cul- 

 ture flowers should be had in ten to 

 fifteen weeks. These plants can be 

 treated as annuals. 



To raise plants for flowering next 

 spring, sow seed in August and when 

 the plants are a few inches high trans- 

 plant them to small pots or set them 

 out in a coldframe. Water should be 

 given as needed and good drainage sup- 

 plied. If the plants are in pots, put 

 them first in 2-inch pots and transplant 

 to 3-inch or 4-inch pots three or four 

 weeks later. They will be protected in 

 the frame in the winter months and 

 will be in excellent condition to set out 

 in the early spring. 



SCALE ON NEPHROLEPIS. 



What is the remedy for a hard, brown 

 scale that infests ferns and other plants? 

 My ferns are infested just now. I 

 have tried cutting them down, but I 

 have one large one that I do not want 

 to cut. I enclose sample. E. D. 



The portion of a nephrolepis frond 

 that was enclosed with this query showed 

 plainly that the plant in question was 

 badly infested with the common brown 

 scale, or turtle scale, as this pest is 

 frequently termed. 



The best treatment would be to first 

 cut off the worst fronds, and then dip 

 in tobacco solution. Or, if the plant is 

 too large to be dipped conveniently, lay 

 it on its side and syringe thoroughly 

 with the tobacco solution. A solution 

 of one part of Rose Leaf extract of 

 tobacco to fifty parts of water will an- 

 swer, but may need to be applied sev- 

 eral times in order to kill all the in- 

 sects. 



It is best to protect the plant from 

 the sun during the time the tobacco 

 treatment is being given, or the tips of 

 the fronds may suffer.
