 dPiitly jirosfierous and jiro;;ressi\-e. like 

 the (Mty itself. The proprietors are Mr. 

 and ]Mrs. F. S. Stimson. During the 

 summer they added four <,ni'enhouses to 

 tlieir lani^e in the suhurlis. and in the 

 Hist part i>\' SepteinlHT they upcned a 

 liaiidsoine new stun- in tlie Ilaitiht

any disease .at .all, hut consists of ytd- 

 low foliaye due to ]iii|iroper soil or 

 drainaj^e conditions, or an oversn|)ply 

 of water, most jiroliahly the Latter. 

 < i;ir<leiiias do not need much soil and 

 your depth is riyht. The soil should 

 li(> (jiiite porous, so that water will jiass 

 i|ui(d\ly through it. If it is fine and iii- 

 ( lined to be pasty, you will never be 

 aide to yrow liealthy yiiideni.as in it. 

 A coinmon error is to oxerwater after 

 planting', .\lways allow the soil to dry 

 out well Iietwccn w.ateriny^. and scratch 

 over the surfaci^ soil frecpicntly. A

 ."^weet soil, careful watering .and a brisk, 

 moist lii'at are conditions making for 

 successful yaialenia culture. Tiiei-e are
