Horticultural Questions. 
We offer to answer inquiries as to varieties for 
special purposes, as seaside or dry - ground 
planting, for names of trees, wild flowers, shrubs and fruits ; for remedies for fungous 
diseases and insects ; for preparation of soil for planting ; for fertilizer for special 
crops and soils; for advice on pruning, grafting or culture ; and can usually refer 
inquirers to books or bulletins on forestry, landscape gardening, botany, entomology, 
referring to these subjects. In cases where a special investigation is required, a 
moderate charge is made for reports.
