TROUBLE WITH GERANIUMS. 



I enclose some samples of geranium 

 leave. The plants did well up to the 

 first part of March, when the spots ap- 

 peared. They were rooted in November. 

 I have not used anything in the soil ex- 

 cept sheep manure. The plants did not 

 show the disease until they were changed 

 into 4-inch pots. The trouDle is mostly 

 among the John Doyles and Bicards. 

 I have Poitevine and S. A. Nutt in. the 

 same house, but they are not affected. 

 The geraniums are in the end house, 

 quite shady, and the temperature is 

 about 50 degrees. I do not think I 

 have overwatered them. The disease 

 seems to be spreading. J. F. D. 



This trouble, which is not at all un- 

 common, comes from a variety of causes 

 and, once started, spreads very fast. It 

 is due to several causes: Too much 

 nitrogenous manure in the soil, too 

 much moisture at the roots and over- 

 head and too little sunlight on the 

 plants. We would advise giving the 

 plants all possible sunshine; they need 

 it and will not do nearly so well in a 

 shaded as in a sunny house. They may 

 grow and appear green, but the growth 

 is soft in comparison to what it would 

 be in direct sunlight and the plants will 

 not flower so well. 



We have not found any advantage in 

 spraying for the mildewed foliage, and 

 we think the only successful remedy 

 vdll be a light, sunny house, care in 

 watering and the use of fine bone in 

 lieu of sheep or cow manure at future 

 pottings. The latter manures promote 

 rank growth; the former makes the 

 plants hardier and more floriferous.
