More Garden Problems that 

 We Want to Solve 



IN the November number, page 180, and 

 in the January number, page 282, we 

 mentioned thirty-five problems which would 

 make delightful studies for amateurs. Here 

 are some more. We offer $5.00 for the best 

 answer to any of these questions. For con- 

 ditions, see the November number. 



36. How can we get rid of the spots that 

 ruin the foliage of a tulip tree without an 

 expensive spraying outfit? 



37. How can we get a substitute for the 

 snowball, which is cheaper than the Japanese 

 variety and is naturally resistant to plant 

 lice? 



38. What amateur has produced any 

 variety of fruit, vegetable or flower that is 

 naturally resistant to insects and disease, so 

 as to make spraying unnecessary ? 



39. How can you keep a collection of 

 columbines, true to name, for ten years or 

 more, with the least trouble and expense ? 



40. Who can prove that he has naturalized 

 trumpet daffodils ? 



41. Who can show the best record for 

 home propagation of tulips ? 



42. Who has grown a collection of all the 

 available species of crocus, and can tell us 

 what inducement there is to grow each one ? 



43. Who has had a satisfactory experience 

 with a big colony of winter aconite (Eranthis 

 hyemalis) ? 



44. Who has naturalized lotus and solved 

 the muskrat problem ? 



45. Who has had a satisfactory experience 

 with hardy cyclamen (this does not mean 

 the shooting star, dodecatheon, which is 

 sometimes called wild cyclamen) ? 



46. Who has saved $200 on a $1,000 green- 

 house, or done anything in greenhouse con- 

 struction comparable to such a feat ? 



47. Who can show the cheapest way to 

 maintain a small greenhouse without a gar- 

 dener ? 



48. Is it possible to have a successful gar- 

 den in the Japanese style, but with lots of 

 flowers in it? 



49. Has anyone ever grown Indian pipes ? 



50. Who has kept tree peonies a very long 

 time and had them bear bigger flowers than 

 the herbaceous kinds ? 



51. Who has made a genuine success of 

 growing any hardy native orchids other than 

 Cypripedium spectabile ? 



52. The catalogues offer a large number of 

 perennial species of larkspur. What are 

 their individual differences which make them 

 valuable for growing in the garden ?
