TEOUBLE WITH PLUMOSXJS. 



I am sending you some sprays of 

 Asparagus plumosus and ask you to 

 note the condition of the ends. The 

 dried places extend all through the 

 bench. I have just taken charge of 

 this establishment and do not know 

 anything about the way the crop has 

 been handled, but at present the soil, 

 water and everything else seem tp be 

 all right. I think they have been run 

 a little too dry at some time, but I 

 should like to have your opinion. 



E. S. C. 



Lack of water seems to have been the 

 cause of this trouble, which has proba- 

 bly been aggravated by insufficient ven- 

 tilation during the warm weather. 

 There do not appear to be any insects 

 on the asparagus, such as red spiders 

 or thrips, and with proper care as to 

 water, heat and fertilizers there should 

 be no further difficulty. W. H. T.
