SOILS AS EELATED TO SPOBTS. 



Some time ago I told in The Keview 

 about a variegated sport of "White En- 

 chantress which I had found on one of 

 my benches. I now have several plants 

 of Alma Ward that have produced some 

 fine variegated blooms and I have also 

 had other varieties of carnations that 

 have shown variegations during the last 

 few years, or, in fact, ever since I have 

 been in business as a grower. 



Someone has suggested the possibility 

 of the soil having something to do with 

 the tendency toward sporting. Has this 

 been made the subject of investigation? 

 It certainly would be a matter worthy 

 of careful research. There must be some 

 law of nature which, if understood, 

 could be profitably made use of in this 

 connection. "What do other readers of 

 The Beview know about this subject?

IVY ON QEAVES. 



I planted several graves with hardy 

 ivy during the spring of 1909 and have 

 covered them for the last two winters. 

 When they are uncovered this spring, 

 should they be trimmed out or cut back 

 to keep them within bounds? F. M. 



Probably the ivy will be somewhat 

 brown after being uncovered and ex- 

 posed to the sun and wind for a few 

 days. You need not worry about this, 

 however, as the plants will soon make 

 new growth sufficient to hide any im- 

 perfections. Merely cut them back to 

 hold them within bounds and head back 

 any much browned shoots, or straggling 

 ones. C. W.

We Want to Buy Some of 

 Your Photographs 



JPHhat do we want of them? Want to use them in a book 

 *^ we are going to publish. Temporarily it has been 

 nicknamed the "Growing Book" because it is to treat of 

 the flowers, plants and fruits that can be grown in a pri- 

 vate greenhouse. It is going to be illustrated just the best 

 we know how and printed right up to the queen's taste. 

 A complete, thoroughly practical, attractive book in every 

 particular. You will be proud to see your photographs in 

 it. If you have any interesting photographs that you think 

 will be just the thing to use in this book, we want to buy 

 them of you. We will pay you a good price. It doesn't 

 matter what kind of a house your photos are taken in — we 

 are not so narrow-minded as to insist they shall be U-Bar. 

 What we want are photos showing results. If you have one 

 worth-while photo, send it along — if half a dozen — so much 



the better. If we can us e any or all of them we will send 

 you check by return ■HJ^^ and if they are sub- 



mail, paying you reg- ^^^^^ jeets we want, we will
