BEX BEGONIAS. 



We have a batch of Kex begonias, 

 on which the leaves become blighted. 

 The plants seem to be in good shape, 

 but before the leaf is fully matured it 

 is blighted and dies. At first we thought 

 it was on account of water getting 

 on the leaves and the sun burning them, 

 so a number were set aside for special 

 treatment, but with no better results. 

 Can you advise us? H. E. D. G. 



It is an old but utterly erroneous 

 idea that water on the loaves of Eex 

 begonias is injurious, exactly the re- 

 verse being the case. The plants, how- 

 ever, should not be grown in the full 

 sun. If in such an exposure, with water 

 on the foliage, some scalding would 

 probably result. These begonias want 

 a shaded house or frame. If you have 

 not a suitable greenhouse, shade one or 

 two sashes on a coldframe and place 

 your plants under them. They will 

 make rapid growth here. A light, mod- 

 erately rich soil suits them, and when 

 the pots are full of roots feed with 

 liquid manure once a week. C. W. 



WHEBE TO OBOW FBEESIAS. 



Would it be better to plant freesias 

 in five inches of soil in benches, in four 

 inches of soil in flats, or in 6-inch pots? 



P. C. M. 



Six-inch pots will give the finest 

 spikes, but, of course, this method en- 

 tails more watering. While freesias 

 will do well in benches, I have never 

 seen as fine spikes grown in this way as 

 in flats; in addition, the disadvantage 

 of the bench system is that the freesias 

 occupy the space to the entire exclusion 

 of all other plants for so long a period. 

 Pots and flats can be moved around at 

 will. They do specially well on shelves 

 in any houge where a night temperature 

 of 50 degrees is maintained in winter, 

 and where the head room is suflScient. 

 The finest freesias I ever grew were 

 in 10-inch and 12-inch pans stood on 

 a carnation house shelf, saucers being 

 provided after the pans were well filled 

 with roots. C. W. 



NAME OF PLANT. 



I am sending you under separate cov- 

 er a specimen of a species of fern which 

 we have found growing in our green- 

 house with the adiantums. Will you 

 kindly give me the name of itt 



J. M. A. 



The plant in question is Selaginella 

 Kraussiana, also known as S. denticu- 

 lata, a species that has long been in cul- 

 tivation and is frequently used for car- 

 peting beneath other plants.
