CABNATI014 RUST. 



Enclosed you will find some leaves 

 from my carnations, which are affected 

 with some kind of rust. Will you please 

 state what would be a remedy for this? 



E. C. H. 



Your carnations are affected with 

 the common carnation rust. I know 

 of nothing that will kill the spores and 

 your only relief will be in controlling 

 it. You can keep it inactive by keep- 

 ing it dry, as all these diseases require 

 some moisture to start them into ac- 

 tivity. If you have been spraying 

 overhead much, discontinue it altogeth- 

 er for a time and water only the soil 

 between the plants. Paint a pipe in 

 each house with sulphur and lime, to 

 help keep the atmosphere dry. If the 

 rust seems to be spreading, you can pick 

 off the leaves which bear the pustules, 

 and thereby destroy a great many of 

 the spores. A. F. J. B. 



guarantee fund; Chicago people will 

 do their best, and this means a great 

 deal. 



A public show of this kind, in which 

 roses, carnations and local treasures 

 will combine to fill the large crystal 

 palace, known as the Wayne pavilion, 

 is certain to be so attractive in a city 

 of homes and gardens like Detroit that 

 the place will be well filled. Wallace 

 R. Picrson has been on a missionary 

 tour of good will from east to west. 



Do you know that the American Rose 

 Society has only granted two gold 

 medals? The last one was voted to 

 Mr. M. H. Walsh, and this medal of 

 pure gold was duly forwarded to him 

 for his Ramblers. And herein lies a 

 bit of affection: When the name for 

 which the medal was given was asked, 

 Mr. Walsh remembered his wife and 

 had it named after what is said to be 

 the finest white rose — Mrs. M. H. 

 W^alsh. Good for Mr. Walsh. 



BUST ON ENCHANTBESS. 



I am enclosing some foliage from a 

 bench of Enchantress carnations. Will 

 you kindly tell me whether the trouble 

 is rust and what are the causes and 

 the remedy? Would a dressing that 

 was not well rotted, in the soil in which 

 they are planted, cause it? Y. F. C. 



Your carnations are affected with the 

 common carnation rust. You will find 

 this subject covered in the reply to 

 R. C. H., in the preceding item. The 

 dressing you speak of would not likely 

 have been the sole cause of the rust, 

 but it may have contributed toward it 

 by producing a foul condition of the 

 atmosphere. A. F. J. B. 



AMERICAN BOSE SOCIETY. 



Detroit flower people are wide-awake 

 in giving full lo(5al notice" to their 300,- 

 000 peo^e that the American Rose So- 

 ciety will arrive in the city January 10, 

 1932. The premium list is out and any 

 additions as specials will be* placed 

 therein as fast as they (^ome, because 

 for years past these specials have been 

 given even up to the last days. Twenty- 

 four persons have subscribed to the 



The executive committee will meet 



shortly to go over all details pertaining 



to the coming annual meeting. Several 



committees will have reports to make.

NAMES OF PLANTS. 



We are growing at present a number 

 of plants which we have picked up and 

 we desire to continue them, but wish 

 to get the name of each specinien. ] 

 am forwarding specimens under sep 

 arate cover by this same mail. The 

 ferns are those obtained among the 

 assorted table ferns. All the other 

 specimens will convey their own mess- 

 age, except the moss and the other 

 green plant, which is numbered 1. 

 These two latter are gathered from the 

 woodland and are hardy. Can you in- 

 form us of their names? L. J. B. 



No. 1 and No. 2 are members of the 

 hypneffi or hypnum mosses, and have 

 no special value, except when dried for 

 packing material. No. 3 is Geranium 

 Pride of Mount Hope. Nos. 4 and 5 

 are two pompon chrysanthemums, but 

 the flowers were not in condition for 

 identification. No. 6' is Begonia In- 

 grami; No. 7, Tradescantia fluminensis 

 striata; No. 8, Tradescantia fluminen- 

 sis viridis; No. 9, Pteris adiantoides; 

 No. 10, Pteris Cretica albo-lineata; No. 

 11, Pteris Ouvrardi; No. 12, Pteris 

 Mayii. W. H. T. 



WITH KLAOGE AT MT. CUiMENS. 



Any readers of The Review who do 

 not already know Robert Klagge, of 

 Mount Clemens, Mich., may become ac- 

 quainted to some extent with him and 

 his enterprises by means of the four 

 pictures here presented, and the many 

 readers who already know him will be 

 glad to renew the acquaintance by see- 

 ing in these pages the "counterfeit 

 presentment ' ' of him and some of his 

 possessions. 



Mr. Klagge 's portrait tells its own 

 story both clearly and pleasingly. The 

 other three illustrations give different 

 views of his planted fields. In one 

 picture his two daughters are seen, 

 though not nearly as distinctly as
