THE GARDENING WORLD 
October 31, 1891 
an exchange, and we sympathise with you in the 
shabby treatment you have received frorn^ the gar¬ 
dener in question, but do not consider that it would 
serve any useful purpose to publicly discuss the 
matter. There were ever such people in existence, 
and it is to be presumed there ever will be—unfortu¬ 
nately. 
Names of. Fruits. —Rose : i, Beauty of Kent; 2, 
New Hawthornden ; 3, probably Green Balsam, but 
we are not certain ; 4, Plum, not recognised, may be 
a small and late Victoria. 
Peaches Blistered.— Foreman : Trees that are 
very badly affected seldom do much more good ; and 
it is advisable under the circumstances to root them 
out and plant young ones. When a few only of the 
leaves are blistered it would be worth your while to 
pull off and burn the diseased specimens as soon as 
they appear. By this means you would prevent the 
scattering of the spores, and the ,spread of the fungus 
to fresh trees. Now when the leaves are off you may 
examine the wood in order to cut away those portions 
which are unnaturally swollen, as the fungus often 
extends from the base of the leaves on to the young 
shoots, and causes them to become more or less 
thickened or distorted. In the case of valuable trees 
which you would like to save you might try spraying 
them with sulphate of copper, making several appli¬ 
cations of the fungicide during the summer. The 
fungus already in the leaves w'ould not be killed, but 
the spores appearing outside would be killed or pre¬ 
vented from growing, and the malady would there¬ 
fore be confined within narrow limits. 
Nephrolepis davallioides furcans varying 
from Spores. — Geo. Crispin : The variety with forks 
at the ends of the pinnae may be raised from spores 
taken from an old plant of the same, but we cannot 
guarantee that the young plants will all come true to 
the type. In fact they do not, but vary in a remark¬ 
able manner. Some of them will be the same as the 
type, others inferior, and some may even be better. 
It would be an interesting experiment to raise young 
plants in this way, even although you would have to 
throw away many of the plants after you can 
determine what the}' are, if you have no other use 
for them and no space to grow them. To make sure 
of what they are going to turn out you must allow 
them to get to some size before discarding them. 
Names of Plants. — A. C. : 2, Fitzroya pata- 
gonica. A. Williams: r, Clerodendron fallax; 2, 
Cotoneaster microphylla; 3, Hypericum oblongi- 
folium ; 4, Hypericum reptans. H. J. : Pyrethrum 
uliginosum ; 2, Sedum spectabile; 3, Aster ericoides ; 
4, Aster diffusus horizontalis; 5, Rhus typhina. 
IF. C alder : 1, Juniperus recurva; 2, Libocedrus 
decurrens; 3, Pinus austriaca; 4, Cupressus 
nutkasnsis ; 5, Cupressus Lawsoniana erecta viridis ; 
6, Crataegus coccinea; 7, Crataegus punctata. 
J. B.: 1, Adiantum diaphanum; Nephrodium patens. 
A. R. L. : The Orchid is a very fine variety of Vanda 
tricolor; the other is Chelona obliqua. Win. Cann : 
The shrub latifolius with^the berries is the broad¬ 
leaved Spindle Tree, Enonymus ; the other is the 
Maidenhair-tree, Salisburia adiantifolia. A. K, : 1, 
Phalaris arundinacea variegata; 2, Oxalis Bowiei; 
3, Chrysanthemum uliginosum. 
Christmas Ros.es — F. C. : In order to avoid 
puddling the soil in its present wet condition, you 
could use some good loam taken from underneath 
the potting bench or from the store shed, if you 
have such a convenience at command—-it will be 
drier from such sources. Mix it with a quantity of 
leaf soil, and place a quantity of the mixture round 
the roots of your plants, making it quite firm. The 
treading of the surface soil will then be of less con¬ 
sequence, and you can thus avoid puddling it when 
wet. This will better than planting afresh in spring, 
because Hellebores are very impatient of disturbance 
unless it is done with great care and as little injury 
to the fleshy roots as possible. In case you want to 
divide any of the pieces, remove all the adhering soil, 
so that you may see where the crowns can be separ¬ 
ated with the least injury possible. Make the cut 
with an old knife in preference to either a trowel or 
a spade.
