IMPATIENS SULTANL 



Kindly advise me as to the trouble 

 •with my Impatiens Sultani; a slip of 

 •which I inclose. The trouble appeared 

 soon after the purchase of a couple of 

 plants, and is spreading. They are grown 

 in a cool, open and somewhat shaded 

 house. E. P. 



The conditions under which your plants 

 are growing would seem to be all right. 

 "We have had no trouble of this sort on 

 plants raised from seed, which is the best 

 method of propagation, but on rooted 

 cuttings bacteria similar to those on the 

 specimen forwarded often appear. Plants 

 propagated by the latter method seem 

 to lack the vitality of seedlings. Throw 

 away all affected stock, only retaining 

 the most vigorous. Give the plants a 

 moderate amount of sunlight and avoid 

 wetting them overhead any more than is 

 necessary. Blow some air-slaked lime 

 over them through powder bellows, as a 

 remedial measure. C. W.
