SWEET PEAS NOT FLOWERING. 



Can you tell me the reason why m/ 

 sweet peas are not blooming, as I planted 

 them September 15! They are the new 

 varieties called the orchid-flowered sweet 

 peas. I have the following kinds : Count 

 ess Spencer, pink; Frank Dolby, laven- 

 der ; and White Spencer. I planted three 

 or four peas in a hill and they are doinp 

 finely, as they are from three to four 

 feet high and have as high as ten runners 

 to a plant, but have no buds. A. L. H. 



You made a mistake in planting the 

 varieties you name for winter flowering. 

 They will bloom all right, but you may 

 have to wait some time for them yet. Por 

 sowing from January onwards, such sorts 

 as Prank Dolby and the Spencers are all 

 right, but they simply will not flower m 

 winter, when you want them. Had you 

 sown such varieties as Christmas Pink, 

 Snowbird, Mont Blanc, Wafcchung, or any 

 of the winter flowering sorts, they would 

 now have been giving you plenty of cut 

 flowers. These latter varieties commence 

 to bloom when quite short, and if you 

 will sow them next season at the date 

 named they will give you flowers for 

 Christmas. "• ^• 



DISCOLORED PLUMOSUS. 



I enclose a piece of Asparagus plu- 

 mosus. What is the matter with it? It 

 seems to have a yellowish color and be- 

 gins to drop off early in its growth. Are 

 fishworms in the soil injurious and 

 should plumosus be sprayed every morn- 

 ing! M- ^ J- 



Judging from the appearance of the 

 sample foliage received, the soil in which 

 it is growing is probably in a sour con- 

 dition. This asparagus must have effi- 

 cient drainage, lacking which the plajits 

 will undoubtedly take on a sickly hue 

 and the foliage drop, as yours is doing. 

 You can easily clean out the earthworms 

 by soaking the bed with lime water. 

 Slake one or two pieces of stone lime, 

 add water to the required amount ana, 

 after the water has cleared, apply it. 

 Drainage in a poor condition would soon 

 cause the soil to become wormy. 



This is not the time to replant as 

 paragus, but I would advise you to lut 

 the plants in May or June and make up 

 a new bed of sod, decayed cow matiure 

 and leaves. If you want this to contini ' 

 bearing a number of years, make tL 

 soil eighteen to twenty-four inches dee" 

 and place six inches of drainage at tL^ 

 bottom. There is no need to spray pi 

 mosus daily. Unlike smilax, it is »• 

 subject to the same injury from thrir -^ 

 and spider. C. W.
