SLOW GEOWTH OF PARSLEY. 



Please note the enclosed parsley 

 plants. The seed was sown June 20 

 and they were transplanted in July 

 into flats. In September the plants in 

 part of a house were benched out and 

 some were potted into 2%,-inch and 

 3-inch pots. The same soil was used 

 for both. It was old carnation soil, 

 which had been out in the field over 

 two years. It produced good carna- 

 tions and- is producing good lettuce 

 now, but the parsley plants do not seem 

 to grow. Can you discover from the 

 sample plants what the reason is? 



C. O. H. 



The samples arrived in good condi- 

 tion and I see no sign of disease or 

 insects on them. In fact, I am unable 

 to find anything wrong with the plants; 

 they look like nice, healthy little plants. 

 I have been wondering whether the 

 plants in the pots acted differently from 

 those planted out in the bed. If your 

 soil was clean and fresh from the field 

 and was growing good lettuce, it should 

 grow parsley well, and, although pars- 

 ley grows slowly, it should be larger 

 than the samples. 



I would advise keeping the soil well 

 cultivated between the plants until 

 they get to growing better. Water 

 carefully, giving them plenty, but not 

 too much. A watering with good liq- 

 uid manure, or with a solution of ni- 

 trate of soda, would help them if the 

 soil lacks sufficient plant food. In 

 applying the nitrate, use only a tea- 

 spoonful to each gallon of water and 

 do not wet the leaves. In using ma- 

 nure water, make it good and strong.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y. 



F. X. Dienst had a record breaker for ' 

 the season in an order for funeral work 

 which called for fifty-nine pieces and 

 taxed his force heavily, but every piece 

 was delivered on time. Some beautiful 

 effects were made, especially a broken 

 wheel on a base, the whole standing 

 over seven feet high and composed of 

 mums, valley and roses. The sum of 

 $75 was willingly paid for this work 

 of art. Another creation was a stand- 

 ing cross composed of Kichmond roses 

 and valley. The new fireproof office is 

 quite an addition and is much admired. 



E. A. Lorentz reports a highly satis- 

 factory season. Not a mum went to 

 waste and all were sold at retail. Vivi-

 producing blooms that averaged fifteen 

 inches across. Foreman John Doughty 

 believes this is a good record and it is 

 possible that, with such material, a 

 show will be held next season. Vallis 

 is another leader. Eoses and carnations 

 look fine, with promise of heavy crops 

 for Christmas.
