GOOD VASIETIES OF BHX7BABB. 



Pfease give me the names of some of 

 the biggest and best varieties of rhu- 

 barb, C. W. N. H. 



Mammoth Victoria and Burbank'e 

 Linnaeus are both good. The former is 

 generally preferred. H. Q. 



BHUBABB XJNDEB BENCHES. 



I should like to get your opinion on 

 rhubarb under the carnation and lettuce 

 benches. What kind of soil would be 

 required, and how much of itt 



W. E. J. 



Ehubarb could be grown under your 

 carnation benches, but would do better 

 where it could get more heat. It needs 

 just sufficient soil to cover the roots, 

 but must be kept as dark as possible if 

 you want nice, bright colored stalks. 

 A warm cellar is a better place for 

 forcing this than below your carnation 

 benches. Mushrooms could, however, be 

 grown well in place of rhubarb. C. W. 



HEAD LETTUCE FOB FAU.. 



Will you kindly inform me as to the 

 best variety of head lettuce to plant 

 for fall use in this Illinois climate, and 

 the proper time to plant it? 



£. C. S. 



It is now getting a little late to plant 

 head lettuce for a fall crop outside. It 

 should be in by August 1, but most 

 of the crop may yet mature before the 

 frost injures it, if planted soon. There 

 are many good varieties suitable for 

 fall use. Big Boston is a good one. 

 Most of the seedsmen have diflferent 

 strains for use in spring, summer and 

 fall. May King is a fine one for spring; 

 Simon's Hotweather lettuce is good 

 for summer and Cabbagehead is a good 

 one for fall use. I think there is more 

 of Big Boston used than of all others. 

 H. G, 



DBY BOT OF TOMATOES. 



I am sending you, under separate 

 cover, samples of my Comet tomatoes. 

 Can you tell me what the disease ist 

 They all get it. They are grown in- 

 side. Can you advise me, also, as to 

 how to prevent the disease f F. G. 



Give your plants more water. See 

 that the beds are wet down to the bot- 

 tom and water twice daily until you 

 get the soil wet enough for this hot 

 weather. 



This dry rot your tomatoes have is 

 sometimes called blossom-end rot and is 

 considered a bacterial disease, which 

 cannot be affected by any spraying. 1 

 find, however, that it never occurs 

 where the plants have enough water. 

 Where the disease is bad the beds are 

 invariably too dry. When properly 

 watered, the little tomatoes will not get 

 the disease any more, but those on 

 which it is started cannot be saved. 

 Pick these all off and destroy them. 



A kind of fungus or mold starts on 

 these rotten spots, but not until after 

 they are rotten and it has nothing to 

 do with starting the trouble. H. G.
