Mildew on Roses; Ailing Peony 
1. Would you advise what to use on a 
Rambler rose that is covered with white 
mildew? 2. We also have a white peony 
which curls and dries around edges o£ 
leaves, the blossoms drying up while still 
in bud. j. s. 
Vineland, N. J. 
3. For mildew on roses, use either dry 
flowers of sulphur or liver of sulphur 
(potassium sulphide), one ounce in two 
gallons of water. The dry sulphur is 
blown on with a powder gun, directing 
the dust especially toward the under side 
of the leaves. Dust in 'the morning, while 
the leaves are wet with dew, so that the 
sulphur will stick. The liver of sulphur 
should bo freshly mixed when used, and 
wi11 be found exceedingly efficacious in 
controlling mildew. Cold damp nights in¬ 
duce mildew in many roses, but the Crim¬ 
son Rambler is especially subject to it. 
and often becomes very ragged and un¬ 
sightly as a result. 
2. The peony trouble is probably 
Bolrytis blight, a common disease not 
easily controlled. It first appears on the 
stems when the shoots grow in the Spring, 
and later on the buds, which either dry 
up when very small, or rot when about 
ready to open. The foliage Is also in-

Crab Cactus in Poor Condition; Wintering 
Geraniums 
1. What makes the leaves of my crab 
cactus drop off? It is planted in light 
soil, is not kept very wet. I have used 
a flower fertilizer consisting of burnt 
bones and sulphuric acid once in two 
weeks; have at times omitted this to see 
if it made any difference, also changed 
plant to different windows. Nothing 
helps. 2. I would like to know how to 
winter geraniums in the cellar; have been 
told to pull up and hang on a nail. Is 
this a good way? mrs. p. j. b.

1. Evidently your crab cactus is suffer¬ 
ing from defective root action, which is 
probably caused by poor drainage. The 
fertilizer would not help matters. In 
their home in the Brazilian forests, these 
Epiphyllums grow upon trees, and the 
least stagnation at the root affects them 
very seriously. The potting soil should 
be very porous, a mixture of sandy loam, 
and a little leaf mold being 
> of broken brick. See 
sufficiently porous, and

and your combination of burnt hones and 
sulphuric acid does not. sound very de¬

Lotv Cost 
Kayso will bring efficiency into your control measures 
at a cost of substantially less than one cent per tree. 
Against this—count the cost in the low yield of your 
orchard when poor spraying methods are practised. 
The Casein used in Kayso manufacture is specially 
prepared for the purpose, properly pulverized and 
completely soluble. 
Kayso is safe and convenient to use. No cooking. You 
sift it into the spray tank with agitator running.

The Useful Mole 
Under “Brevities” in May 13 issue, you 
say: “There is an endless run of ques¬ 
tions about killing nudes. We have never 
found anything better than good traps.” 
Why don’t you say: “Let 'em be”? 
Thai is what T do. and so does everyone 
who knows what they are about. In the 
long ruu. moles do more good than harm. 
n. r. p. 
We know it. They kill more white 
grubs than any animal, unless it. be the 
skunk. They make bad business on a 
lawn or in a flower bed, and when we are 
asked to kill them, we answer ao best we 
can.
