MAGNOLIA SOULANGE AN A. 



I recently sent you an inquiry as to 

 what kinds of roots would be best to use 

 for grafting white and blue wistarias 

 and Magnolia Soulangeana. In the Re- 

 view of February 10, you replied as fol- 

 lows: "Graft wistarias on portions of 

 their own roots. They can also be prop- 

 agated quite easily by layering. Magno- 

 lia Soulangeana should be worked on 

 seedlings two years old and grown along 

 in pots of M. acuminata or M. tripetala. 

 A greenhouse is the best place for the 

 successful carrying out of this method of 

 propagation and either cleft or tongue 

 grafting can be done." 



Now, in stating that Magnolia Soulan- 

 geana should be grafted on two-year 

 seedlings, do you mean Magnolia grandi- 

 flora seedlings? C. W. K. 



I should prefer to use two-year pot- 

 grown seedlings of Magnolia acuminata 

 or M. tripetala, rather than M. grandi- 

 flora. . c. 



, SAVING THE PEACH CROP. 



For years the peach brown rot has been 

 recognized as a most destructive disease

of stone fruits. This is a fungous dis- 

 ease. It is widespread and is very de- 

 structive to the peach crop. The loss 

 which it inflicts on peach growers will 

 easily average $5,000,000 yearly. The 

 loss to the peach crop of Georgia alone 

 is estimated at $1,000,000 a year. 



Much work has been <lone with a view to 

 discovering a satisfactory remedy for this 

 trouble. Spraying with diluted bordeaux 

 mixture has been most commonly recom- 

 mended, but its injury to the foliage has 

 made it unsatisfactory, since the remedy 

 must be aj)plied during the growing 

 season. 



The peach scab, often called black spot, 

 is another disease which seriously affects 

 the peach crop in all sections east of the 

 Kocky mountains, although not causing 

 such serious losses as brown rot. 



As the result of experimental work 

 by the United States Department of Ag- 

 riculture, a cheap and simple remedy for 

 this disease has been found in the self- 

 boiled lime-sulphur wash. This can be 

 applied during the growing season with

little danger of injuring the fruit or 

 foliage, and it is quite effective. Fur- 

 thermore, by mixing arsenate of lead with 

 the fungicide, the curculio can be de- 

 stroyed at the same time. 



The department has just issued a bul- 

 letin describing the preparation and use 

 of the remedy. This publication will be 

 of great interest to peach growers in all 

 sections.
