Mention The Review wlien you write. 



old thing ought to float. So I closed all 

 openings and pumped fifteen pounds air 

 jji-essure into it, and as it was lying 

 within a hundred feet of the river I 

 rigged up a set of skids and rolled it 

 into the river. I had two men in a yawl 

 with me, and we towed it down the river 

 about four miles and pulled it out on 

 my side, where I could get draymen to 

 handle it. Our local papers gave me a 

 nice bit of free advertising about it.

Work Made Liehter. 



If there is anything I enjoy it is to 

 sit in my armchair after a hard day's 

 work and muse over all the interesting 

 things you publish in the Review every 

 week; so instructive, so edifying, so en- 

 couraging; it makes work lighter for us. 

 We have had a very peculiar spring — so 

 very warm in March, soaring to 90 de- 

 grees in the shade and making everybody 

 in a rush to plant trees and shrubs; but 

 so cold in April that planting has been 

 much delayed. I have had a busy season 

 80 far. Robert Fulstone. 



TROUBLE WITH GERANIUMS. 



Will you please tell me what is the 

 cause of my geraniums turning crim- 

 son? The edge of the leaf will first 

 show red and finally the entire leaf 

 turns a brilliant crimson. Plants are 

 not growing. I at first thought too 

 much bone meal was used in the com- 

 post, but I now find that some of the 

 plants show the same trouble that had 

 no fertilizer. They are in 3-inch pots, 

 and the pots placed on a bench that has 

 two inches of wood shavings, getting 

 full sunshine and located in the lightest 

 and airiest part of the house. What 

 can I do to overcome it? E. H. O. 



Without knowing something of the 

 local conditions and treatment it is dif- 

 ficult to tell what can have caused the 

 coloring of the leaves referred to. I 

 presume the plants are not too much 

 potbound and have been carefully wa- 

 tered. If intended for late spring sales 

 there is little time left now to tone 

 them up. I would scratch over the sur- 



face of the soil and if the pots are well 

 filled with roots give a watering with 

 nitrate of soda once in four or five 

 days. This should make the plants 

 greener very soon. I think it possible 

 that too much bone may have been used, 

 but the fact that other plants, in the 

 compost for which no bone was used, 

 are also in the same condition, leads me 

 to think that either the plants have been 

 starved or underwatered. I think the 

 use of nitrate of soda or some other 

 quick acting chemical fertilizer will im- 

 prove them. C. W.

Savannah, Ga. — A. C. Oelschig has 

 recently taken his second son into part- 

 nership, so the firm now is A. C. Oelschig 

 & Sons. They are doing a fine business. 

 Ficus elastica is a specialty.
