HYDBANQEAS COMING WHITE. 



I should like to get some information 

 about hydrangeas. I have about 700 

 5-inch and 6-inch pots of Ot&ksa com- 

 ing into bloom. Some of them are ma- 

 tured in growth, I think, as they meas- 

 ure six and eight inches across the 

 blooms, but they do not color up pink, 

 as usual. So far they are almost plain 

 white and they have been standing at 

 this stage for the last two weeks. They 

 are of my own growing and I have had 

 them for the last four or five years, but 

 this has never occurred before. Can 

 you give me the cause of this, or give 

 me some information as to coloring 

 them up pink, so that they may be 

 salable? W. C. K. 



The hydrangeas have been hard 

 forced to get them in flower thus early 

 and strong heat has a tendency to take 

 the color out of the flowers. Give them 

 a slightly cooler house, where they will be 

 a little shaded from the direct rays of 

 the sun. Do not give any waterings of 

 strong liquid manure. The flowers will, 

 I think, gradually become pink in color. 

 The transition to pink from white is 

 less rapid now than in summer. Strong 

 heat and heavy feeding would each help 

 to take the color out of the flowers.

AZALEA DEUTSCHE PEBIiE. 



Where white-flowered azaleas are 

 needed early in the season, Deutsche 

 Perle is one of the best of all to grow, 

 as in a greenhouse temperature of 50 

 to 55 degrees it may be had in bloom by 

 Christmas. The flowers, too, are of con- 

 siderable substance, and though semi- 

 double when fully expanded, they are 

 in the bud state just like little rosebuds. 

 This azalea is of rather looser growth 

 than many varieties, owing to which 

 the trusses of flowers can be cut with 

 longer stems than many of them can. 

 There is no other variety of which such 

 numbers are sent to this country as 

 Deutsche Perle. 



Plymouth, Mass. — The greenhouse 

 on the estate of Levy N. Mayer at 

 Indian Bluffs, about ten miles south 

 of town, was almost destroyed by fire 

 March 16. The building was erected 

 last fall. The loss was about $1,000. 



Kankakee, 111. — The greenhouses of 

 Charles Schafer, covering almost an acre 

 of ground, have been removed from their 

 former location, near Electric park, to a 

 tract of land west of the cemetery. The 

 houses have also been greatly improved, 

 especially in the arrangements for heat-
