members of the ball team, as they had 

 planned some great sport with the Seat- 

 tle team. However, the delivery boys 

 scrubbed up a team and beat the regu- 

 lar team 7 to 2. After the game a series 

 of athletic stunts were pulled off, which, 

 while not exactly classy, were at least 

 amusing.

DISEASED VINCAS. 



We are today mailing you a few dis- 

 eased plants of the flowering vinca or 

 Madagascar periwinkle, and would ask 

 you to inform us whether the disease 

 can be cured or prevented. These 

 plants were taken from a flower bed 

 of one of our customers, and if some- 

 thing is not done the whole bed will be 

 destroyed. We have not, as yet, dis- 

 covered the trouble in our own stock, 

 but several of our customers are com- 

 plaining of it. You will notice that the 

 roots are perfectly healthy. In some 

 cases, when the diseased part is re- 

 moved, the plant starts and makes a 

 vigorous growth, only to succumb later. 

 It is not caused by damp, cloudy 

 weather, for the same trouble appeared 

 last year, and if there was any damp, 

 cloudy weather then, we didn't have 

 the pleasure of seeing it in this part of 

 Texas. 



We are utterly at a loss to account 

 for the disease and shall greatly ap- 

 preciate any information you can give 

 us, as this plant is by far the best bed- 

 ding plant we have here. T. N. C. 



I have not seen more than an occa- 

 sional vinca affected in this way. The 

 cause for it I cannot even suggest, not 

 knowing anything of your growing con- 

 ditions. For this blight the best rem- 

 edy would be to spray with Bordeaux 

 mixture on the first appearance of the 

 trouble. This will not injure or dis- 

 figure the plant. If applied at stand- 

 ard strength, as advised for fruit 

 trees, it would be rather strong. Ee- 

 duce its strength one-half and, if any- 

 thing will check the blight, this will.
