SUNBURNT PALM FOLIAGE. 



Enclosed you will find some leaves of 

 what was formerly a fine kentia palm. 

 It is about 10 years old and stands 

 about five and one-half feet tall, with 

 lots of leaves. This particular palm 

 has always been our special favorite, 

 because always green and healthy until 

 about two months ago, when it began 

 to show these discolored spots. Can 

 you tell us what to do? It is in good, 

 rich soil and was repotted last spring. 

 It is kept in a temperature of 50 to 60 

 degrees, in a moist house, with ferns. 

 About two or three months ago the 

 ferns began to die of rust. Is it pos- 

 sible that the palm contracted this 

 disease from the ferns? These spots 

 look like fairy ring on carnations, 

 while the ferns are rusty all over. 

 Please tell us, also, what is the matter 

 with the rubber plant, a leaf of which 

 I enclose. L. M. S. & C. 



The kentia leaflets show no disease, 

 but are badly sunburnt. The injury is 

 caused by a blister in the glass, which 

 acts as a convex lens, focusing the rays 

 of the sun in such a way as to burn 

 streaks across the leaves. The best 

 remedy is to hunt for the worst blisters 

 in the glass (there may be several of 

 them), put a dab of white paint on 

 each blister on the under side of the 

 glass, and then give the glass a light 

 shading on the outside. The ficus 

 leaves have been injured in the same 

 way; the leaf in question shows one 

 old burn and two fresh ones.
