The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



June 3, 1909. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The weather so far has been quite 

 favorable to the planting of chrysanthe- 

 mums. It is too soon yet to form an 

 idea of what will be this next important 

 crop, but the quantity planted seems to 

 be large. 



At M. Cook's Sons a new, fresh piece 

 of ground has been broken for a variety 

 of chrysanthemums, which look strong 

 and promising. 



Asters are coming into bloom every- 

 where, as well as other summer flowers. 

 The demand for them is not brisk, the 

 town gardens being abundantly supplied 

 with all sorts. In anticipation of a heavy 

 sale, thousands of hardy palms have been 

 set out in and around New Orleans. Even 

 private people, out of the nursery busi- 

 ness, are heard to have devoted some 

 land to their culture. It is certainly a 

 good move, but growers must not lose 

 sight that an excess in planting will 

 create in due time a great falling off in 

 prices. Phoenix Canariensis, which is no 

 doubt a nicer palm than washingtonia, 

 seems to be overlooked in proportion.

CROWN GALL OF THE APPLE. 



Recently Dr. Erwin F. Smith and his 

 associates in the Bureau of Plant Indus- 

 try, U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

 have demonstrated quite conclusively that 

 crown gall is caused by a specific bac- 

 terial parasite. Moreover, they have 

 shown that it is omnivorous in its tastes, 

 being able to cause warty outgrowths or 

 galls on a surprising number of different 

 and unrelated species of plants when 

 these plants are inoculated with pure 

 cultures of the organism. Galls have 

 been produced in this way upon the fol- 

 lowing named plants: Peaches, almonds, 

 apples, hops, Paris daisy, walnut, grape, 

 radish, tomato, raspberry, etc. 



Not long ago the Maine Experiment 

 Station purchased sixty apple trees from 

 a leading New York nurseryman. The 

 package in which they were shipped bore 

 a tag stating that the orchard from which 

 they came had been officially inspected 

 and found free from disease. Three out 

 of the sixty trees, or five per cent of the 

 shipment, had well developed crown galls 

 upon them. Under no condition should 

 trees be planted which show growths of 

 this kind upon the roots, for not only will 

 it result in an unthrifty and unprofitable 

 tree, but it will also infect the soil with 

 the crown gall organism and endanger 

 other plants.
