Bowling. 



The New York Florists' Club's three 

 highest bowling scores for March 15 

 were as follows: 



Manda 157 178 156 



Fenrlch 150 133 140 



YouDg 138 122 110 



Zangen 114 117 132 



Scott 196 166 155 



Loretz 185 133 134 



Henshaw 114 88 07 



A larger attendance is necessary to 

 insure the club's continuance. The old 

 guard should sit up and take notice. 



J. Austin Shaw. 



EmiLi:Snge, a florist, recovered a ver- 

 dict -(Jr$ 1,267 against the city in the Su- 

 preme Court March 1, for injuries he 

 received when he fell into a coal hole 

 on one of the Staten Island municipal 

 ferryboats. 



F. W. O. Schmitz, of Prince Bay, has 

 been on the road for several weeks, call- 

 ing on his western customers. "While at 

 Cleveland March 11, he made a misstep 

 and fell from a car. Outside of a good 

 shaking up, he sustained no injury and 

 was able to proceed on his way east. 



SHORT-STEMMED SWEET PEAS. 



Can I find out why my sweet peas have 

 suddenly become short-stemmed f The 

 blooms are grand and quite numerous, 

 but very short-stemmed now. 



The soil is a fairly rich garden loam, 

 inclined to be sandy, to which was added 

 a liberal quantity of bone meal, and 

 later a top-dressing of superphosphate. 

 The stems up to two weeks ago were all 

 that could be desired, ranging from eight 

 to thirteen inches long. Now they are 

 two to four inches. My outdoor peas 

 acted in the same manner last summer, 

 and I am anxious to get at the cause and 

 remedy, if there is any. Can peas be 

 grown successfully in a light, sandy 

 soil, if it is well enriched and plenty of 

 moisture is supplied t W. D. 



Lack of proper plant food is un- 

 doubtedly the cause of the sudden dwin- 

 dling in length of the stems of your 

 sweet peas. These annuals delight in a 

 rich soil, one containing plenty of humus. 

 While bone meal is useful as a top- 

 dressing when the peas are in full 

 growth, you would have much better re- 

 sults had you spread three to four inches 

 of well rotted cow manure on your beds 

 and spaded it in deeply. The most suc- 

 cessful growers of sweet peas under glass 

 use cow manure only in the soil, and later

 which are lightly forked into the soil. 



Some of the finest sweet peas it was 

 ever our privilege to see were grown in 

 sandy soil. If it is well enriched, a 

 mulch applied when the flowering sea- 

 son starts and water freely supplied, just 

 as fine peas can be produced in sandy soil 

 as in any other. C. W. 



WOOD-LICE OR SOW BUGS. 



I am bothered very much with sow- 

 bugs or wood-lice, which eat the carna- 

 tion cuttings and other young plants, 

 and wish you would give a remedy in the 

 Eeview. I have lately found a cure for 

 niost evils of our line in the paper, but 

 have not found above. W. J. P. 



It is diflScult to entirely free green- 

 houses from this pest. Keep as little 

 decaying wood and other debris in the 

 houses as possible, for these are ideal 

 lurking places for them. They may 

 be poisoned with a mixture of fresh 

 bran and powdered sugar, to which is 

 added some Paris green or white ar- 

 senic. Lay the mixture in small saucers 

 in the evening and do not leave it 

 around where animals or children can
