(Slueetions ant) answers 
1. "What method has been found to make Wistaria vines bloom 
when they have failed to do so for several years?" 
Answer. — Wistaria vines seldom bloom until they are five years 
old. If, however, after that time they fail to do so, in the spring cut 
the tap root back to 1 8 inches and trim the vines and then fertilize with 
ground bone. 
2. "What are the cause and the remedy for rust on hardy 
Phlox?" 
Answer. — This is a fungus growth, due to dampness, and can 
only be eradicated by early treatment. The remedy is 2 heaping 
teaspoons ful of copper carbonate dissolved in J4 teacup of household 
ammonia. Add this to 6J/2 gallons of water and use as a spray, full 
strength, once a week for blight, mildew or rust. Do not use until two 
or three hours after mixing, and do not spray plants in hot sun. Com- 
mence spraying when plants are 3 or 4 inches high and before the dis- 
ease appears. This is a preventative, not a cure. Should the disease 
have already appeared pick off and burn all infected leaves and spray 
as directed once a week, getting it well under leaves as well as on top. 
3. "Why do leaves on many hardy Chrysanthemums turn 
brown, and what will prevent their doing so?" 
Plant gladioli as soon as the ground can be worked, and suc- 
cessive plantings can be made every two weeks until July 4th. It is a 
wise plan to plant the smaller bulbs first, leaving the larger ones until 
the warmer weather.
