TTROUBLE WITH PLANTS. 



I h^ve Bome hardy phlox in 3-inch pots. 

 The g: Towths wilt and die as fast as they 

 come up. Some are dry, some are wet 

 and ■both do the same. Rose-leaved 

 gerani-ums do the same. No insects to 

 be fouJnd on either plants. Boston and 

 Whitnnani ferns have a gray floury sub- 

 stance on top side of leaves and turn 

 brown and fall off, the> stem remaining 

 green, but tlie fern finally dies. Have 

 had th«at trouble siiice last fall. Please 

 give remedy. A. D. H. 



KeeH) ^'^^ hardy phlox in a coldframe. 

 At thii^ time it will be much better in the 

 open siltogether. I cannot explain the 

 cause cot the drying up of the shoots and 

 foliagee on this and the rose-leaved 

 geraniizams, unless it be from too much 

 heat arrid dryness at the root. A too dry 

 atmosp -here may have caused an attack 

 of red espider or thrips on your ferns. Cut 

 off th&« affected fronds and maintain a 

 moist aatmosphere. Neither of these pests 

 will thrrive under such conditions. If the 

 soil is in good condition and drainage 

 perfect^ the plants will want abundant 

 trapplie^ of water. Some shade will, of 

 course, be necessary. They do not want 

 a 'clo8e,e, stuffy house, succeeding better 

 under csooler conditioiis. C. W.
