variety require. The endeavour should therefore be to avoid as 

 far as possible the cause of the evil by obtaining a steady, 

 well-matured growth through careful management and moderate 

 feeding of the plants. 



Mildew, which generally attacks the foliage in late summer, 

 and especially after the plants are placed in the houses, may be 

 very easily checked by dusting on flowers of sulphur. 



Other troubles in this way to which the plants are subject are 

 not of such serious moment, and generally result from too much 

 manure being given. Certain varieties lose their foliage, or their 

 flower-buds decay before they are fully grown, from this cause. 

 The spot which appears on the foliage of some kinds in late summer 

 is due to too much atmospheric moisture, and is remedied by 

 removing the plants inside.
