WHITE LORRAINE BEQONIA. 



Is there a white Gloire de Lorraine 

 begonia on the market? Last fall we 

 sent for some 2^-inch Lorraine be- 

 gonias and in the lot there happened to 

 be a white one. It grows a great deal 

 like the pink, but we believe it has 

 more leaves than the pink, which we do 

 not think is a bad fault. If you can 

 give us any hints on propagating we 

 shall appreciate your help, as we do not 

 seem to have any success with Lor- 

 raines. M. S. 



There is a white Lorraine begonia, 

 not so much in demand as the pink one, 

 but an equally good grower. There is 

 no great difficulty in the propagation 

 of Lorraines if you have a good bottom 

 heat of 75 to 80 degrees, if the sand is 

 well drained, allowing the water to pass 

 through freely, and if you keep the 

 cuttings or leaves shaded. Leaf cut- 

 tings can be put in any time from the 

 beginning of December until the end of 

 March. Cut off a piece of the leaf stalk 

 with each leaf. After the end of March 

 and until June, plants which have been 

 rested a little and pruned back will 

 give plenty of nice cuttings, which 

 should root without trouble in a warm 

 propagating bench. You should try Be- 

 gonia Glory of Cincinnati another sea- 

 son; it is superior to Lorraine, and the 

 leaves are more easily propagated. 

 Always use well matured leaves for 

 propagating. If not hard they are sure 

 to rot off. C. W. 



TO ERADICATE WILD OXAUS. 



Do you know of anything that will 

 kill the plant of wild oxalis as well as 

 the bulbf We find considerable trouble 

 in getting rid of it. It grows in abun- 

 dance under the greenhouse benches. 



L. H. 



Plants under the benches can be de- 

 stroyed by watering with boiling water, 

 or water containing one of the weed 

 killers. Water containing potash or 

 salt will also eradicate them. In pots 

 they are troublesome and here the 

 aforementioned remedies can not, of 

 course, be tried. I do not know of any- 

 thing but hand weeding which will be 

 of avail in such cases. C. W. 



SCALE ON BAY TREES. 



What is the best way to clean off 

 scale from my bay trees t W, H. D. 



Lay the bay trees on the floor and 

 syringe them vigorously and thoroughly 

 with a solution of Sulpho-tobacco soap, 

 the solution being composed of one 

 ounce of the soap to one gallon of 

 water. Give this treatment once a 

 week for several weeks, and unless it is 

 an unusually obstinate case the plants 

 should soon show improvement. In pre- 

 paring the soap solution, it is best to 

 use hot water to dissolve the soap, but 

 of course the solution must not be ap- 

 plied to the plants until it is cool.
