The leaves take on a somewhat bronze 

 tint in full sunshine. 



Double alyssum is considerably used 

 as a white carpet bedder, but while it 

 flowers well, it cannot be depended upon 

 BO well as one of the foliage plants. Of 

 these latter, Santolina maritima, of a 

 silvery white color, is probably the best 

 of its color. It will require some pinch- 

 ing, like the alteraanthera. 



If you obtain rooted cuttings now 

 of any of the foregoing plants and grow 

 along in either small pots or flats, you 

 will have nice stock for bedding-out 

 time early in June. The alternanthera 

 will require more heat than the other 

 plants. Place it in a hotbed at the 

 end of April and it will make better 

 growth than in the greenhouse. C. W. 



1 PREVENTION OF DAMPING OFF. 

 Will you please publish something con- 

 cerning the damping off of young plant 

 seedlings! I have tried mixing various 

 quantities of sand with the soil and 

 have also tried planting in clear, sharp 

 sand alone. I have watered sparingly 

 and stirred the soil often, but without 

 good results. The temperature has been 

 60 to 70 degrees. Please tell something 

 about the scientific principles involved in 

 killing this fungus, and about the best 

 methods of protfecting young seedlings. 



C. H. K. 



Damping oflP is a trouble common to 

 the propagating bench and to the seed 

 bed. It is frequently the result of the 

 action of one or the other of two fungi, 

 but as the results are the same it is 

 diflScult to distinguish the two without 

 the aid of a microscope. When the trou- 

 ble breaks out, all healthy plants should U 

 be immediately transferred to sterilized! 

 soil or to fresh soil from a compost! 

 which has been frozen since it was last 

 used in greenhouse work. The sand in 

 the cutting benches should either be ster- 

 ilized or be fresh crushed rock. The 

 benches where the trouble has occurred 

 should be emptied and whitewashed with 

 a wash containing a pound of copper 

 sulphate for each ten gallons of white- 

 wash, the copper sulphate solution being 

 added to the whitewash after the crystals 

 have all dissolved. Sprinkling hot sand 

 over the surface of the seed bed is 

 sometimes of value, but the only sure 

 way is to use clean seed in sterilized 

 soil. L. C. C. 



CULTURE OF ISMENE. 



I bought some bulbs of ismene. I 

 potted them five or six weeks ago and 

 they are not sprouting yet. Please tell 

 me how to propagate them. T. P. 



T, P. does not give the variety of 

 ismene which he is growing. Some sorts 

 do well planted out in the garden in 

 summer, while others succeed better kept 

 in pots in a warm greenhouse. The

name ismene is now but little used, 

 the genus being included under hymeno- 

 callis. The pancratiums are also closely 

 allied to them. The winter-blooming 

 varieties, which include Caribaea, also 

 called pancratium, and macrostephana, 

 require an abundance of moisture and a 

 warm house, kept at 60 degrees at night,
