A YELLOV-LEAVED ASTER. 



Among the Giant Comet asters grown 

 by Max Kornacker, at Wehrden on the 

 Weser, Germanj', in 1901, one plant at- 

 tracted attention by its yellow leafage. 

 Seed having been saved from" this plant, 

 it was sown for several years in order 

 to test its constancy. The yellow color 

 has remained in the leaves, so that now 

 90 per cent come true. The leaves of 

 this variety are said not to burn under 

 hot sunshine, as is the case with many 

 variegated ones. The flowers in the 

 type have remained pure white, and they 

 are moderately double, so that the long- 

 stemmed flower is" well adapted for cut- 

 ting purposes, and the ])lant is excellent 

 for planting in beds, etc. 



CLERODENDRON FALLAX. 



The dwarf Clerodendron fallax makes 

 a fine decorative plant, and provides a 

 shade of color that is distinct and at- 

 tractive. Seedlings are preferred by 

 many growers, and these may possibly 

 make the best plants, but cuttings will 

 produce specimens in much less time 

 than seeds permit. The old plants, after 

 a slight rest, if placed in a little warmth, 

 will soon produce cuttings which root 

 readily in a propagating case with an 

 intermediate temperature. Sandy loam 

 and leaf-soil form a good compost, and 

 with clay to fertilize the soil, when the 

 plants are growing freely, fine large 

 heads of flowers may be produced in a 

 5-inch pot, a size large enough for or- 

 dinary purposes. AVhen the plants are 

 raised from cuttings successional batches 

 may be had throughout the year, if the 

 stock is large enough. An intermediate 

 temperature is suitable during the grow- 

 ing period, and when the flower heads 

 appear the plants may be removed to 

 cooler and more airy quarters; a cold- 

 frame during the summer months will 

 suit them. When grown in this way the 

 plants remain in flower for some weeks, 

 and they stand house decoration well, 

 and for this purpose are very useful. 



Specimens may be grown to carry sev- 

 eral heads of bloom, and these are useful 

 when a mass of color is required, but for 

 light and effective decorations plants 

 grown with a single head of bloom are 

 best, and they are more quickly flowered 

 than those with several heads, says a 

 writer in a London gardeners' magazine.

In parts of Germany, a condition of 

 the buds of the lilac has been noticed, 

 to which has been given the name bud 

 disease. The cause of the disease has 

 been determined by Dr. R. Laubert to 

 be a mite, so minute as not to be visible 

 to the naked eye, Phytoptus Loewi, one 

 of the gall-mites which are the causes 

 of so many diseases and malformations 

 in plants. This minute creature is im- 

 pervious to heat and cold, and is capable 

 of existing in the perfect state through- 

 out our coldest winters. The likeliest 

 means for their destruction would be to 

 apply some kind of wash or powder to 

 the affected bushes in the second half 

 of the month of May, when the mite 

 leaves its place of concealment and is 

 searching for a new one.
