IMPATIENS IN FULL SUN. 



Will the improved Impatiens Sul- 

 tani, with its fine colors, succeed in full 

 sunt I think not, but if they would, 

 I should like to grow them in such a 

 situation and undoubtedly some of 

 your readers have tried the experi- 

 ment. W. C. E. 



Impatiens Sultani, I. Holstii and its 

 hybrids and the beautiful pink I. Oli- 

 veri succeed well planted outdoors in 

 partial shade. Near the seashore I 

 have seen them blooming profusely in 

 full sun, but inland they have not done 

 so well, being scorched somewhat dur- 

 ing heat waves. In partial shade they 

 grow and flower beautifully. The flow- 

 ers are more easily damaged by rain 

 storms than are balsams, but for all 

 that they are a charming annual in the 

 open garden. I have found it an ad- 

 vantage to mulch 'them, as if they once 

 become badly dried up they are of lit- 

 tle further use. I would say that, 

 provided the plants have sufficient 



moisture, they will bloom continuously 

 from June until cut down by frost.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y. 



The fourteenth annual dinner of the

 occasion. The decorations were excel- 

 lent and consisted of American Beauty, 

 Killarney Queen, Richmond and Shaw- 

 yer roses, William Eccles, British Tri- 

 umph, Northport, Commodore, Ward,

OBEEN FLY ON SNAPDRAGONS. 



Please let me know what to do for 

 green flies on snapdragons. I am afraid 

 to kill them by fumigating with to- 

 bacco stems. J. H. 



Try one of the tobacco papers, like 

 Nico-Fume or Aphis Punk, These will 

 not harm the plants in the least. To- 

 bacco dust can also be used with per- 

 fect safety. A light fumigation with 

 tobacco stems would not harm snap- 

 dragons if you were careful not to allow 

 them to catch fire. The tobacco stems, 

 however, leave a disagreeable odor be- 

 hind them, and, with so many more 

 cleanly fumigants on the market, are 

 practically out of date. C. W.
