INQUIRIES. 



(Concluded from page 14.) 



two years ago. The foliage is luxuri- 

 ant and dark, and is continually cov- 

 ered with seed pods, but they have 

 never blossomed. If some one can 

 help me in my trouble I shall appre- 

 ciate it. 



New York. J. P. T. 



I have a jasmine afiinis, three years 

 old, planted against a west wall. It 

 grows abundantly from roots, but does 

 not grow tall, and winter kills almost, 

 or quite, to the roots. Does it need 

 protection? Should most of the 

 growth be pruned to make main shoots 

 stronger? What treatment should it 

 have this season? Can any Floral 

 World reader help? 



A rose, low-growing, pale-green, 

 thrifty foliage, with blossoms pecul- 

 iarly bright rose-colored, semi-double, 

 or rather usually having two, perhaps 

 three, rows of petals, opens wide 

 showing great numbers of bright sta- 

 mens, buds very beautiful, flowering 

 season June, July, unusually long; 

 flowers last long for those of that 

 character. A friend tells me it is "An 

 Old English Cottage Rose." Can any 

 one name it from description? 



An herbaceous perennial, three feet 

 or more tall, the stems come directly 

 from the roots and are set closely 

 with rounded leaves, and at the top 

 with yellow bells. Some one told me 

 it was a "loose strife." If moneywort 

 could stand upright, put its leaves all 

 around its stems instead of flat, and 

 make its whole coloring soft, it would 

 look like my plant. Can any reader 

 tell me what it is? 



A blue-flowered plant with three 

 queer, long, leaf-like appendages be- 

 low the flower-buds. Some call it 

 "spider wort," others "widow's tears." 

 What is it? 



British Columbia. J. F. M.
