which bore their names, and those of Mrs. Pollock, 
Lady Cullum, Italia Unita, Peter Grieve, Lucy 
Grieve and others. The last mentioned was named 
after his only daughter, Lucy, whose name survives 
her death in the luscious Pear Lucy Grieve, which 
she raised while yet at school, and near a fruitful 
tree of which at Bury her father died. Mr. and 
Mrs. Grieve retired from Culford to Bury about 15 
years ago, and shortly afterwards he was appointed 
a member of the Burial Board, which post he held 
till his death, notwithstanding his sufferings from 
heart disease. Mrs. Grieve alone survives him 
whose genial presence will be missed from the 
reading room of the Athenaeum, at Bury. His 
remains were interred with those of his daughter at 
Culford, on the 1st inst. 
the morning. If some of the fly still lives, repeat 
the operation next evening, and you cannot have 
more trouble with the fly till spring, if you ventilate 
freely during winter.

Professor C. V. Riley died at 11.55 P m -. on 
Saturday, September 14th, in Washington, U S.A. 
He was thrown from his bicycle while riding in 
Washington in the morning, and was so severely 
injured that he sank steadily to his end. He was 
born in London, England, in 1843, and was educated 
chiefly in France and Germany. He went to the 
United States in i860, settling as a farmer in Illinois, 
and was a soldier in the war on the side of the 
Union. He was appointed as the State Entomologist 
of Missouri from 1868 to 1877, and was appointed in 
the same capacity to the Department of Agriculture 
in 1878, and from which he retired last year. During 
his active life he was a voluminous writer on all 
subjects relating to insects. After his retirement, 
he still retained his connection with the National 
Museum at Washington, as Honorary Curator of 
the Department of Insects. He has dealt with 
almost every known insect, and horticulture was 
deeply indebted to him for his discoveries and 
writings relating to injurious species.

Questions add snsroeRS 
Will our friends who send us newspapers he so good 
as to mark the paragraphs or articles they wish us to see. 
We shall be greatly obliged by their so doing. 
Mildew on Chrysanthemums .—Omega : The 
best thing you can do is to dust the leaves over 
thinly with flower of sulphur, and keep the atmos¬ 
phere of the house as dry and cool as possible. 
Damp air and the crowding of the plants are 
responsible, to a large extent, for the mischief, and 
as prevention is better than cure, you cannot do 
better than attend to such points where possible. 
When the outside atmosphere is very wet, a little 
heat in the hct-water pipes with plenty of ventilation 
would serve to dispel it. 
Double Flowers and Seeds .—Omega : Double- 
flowered Chrysanthemums do produce seed, but re¬ 
quire particular management to ripen it without 
damping in our dull November weather. The 
plants must be put in a dry, airy house, and after 
the flowers have been fully expanded for some time 
and the flowers fertilised, you should cut off the 
loDg portion of the petals leaving only half an inch 
or less at the base, so as not to injure the styles and 
the seed-bearing portion. This will prevent the 
heads from damping, and if any of the flowers have 
been set, seed will ripen in due course. You might 
search for pollen, and fertilise the flowers while in 
bloom. 
Names of Plants. — J. Maytte: Euonymus lati- 
folius.— J. M. K. : Cattleya labiata.— D. ; Nephro- 
dium cicutarium.— T. D. : 1, Erica gracilis ; 2,Aralia 
papyrifera ; 3, Selaginella emiliana; 5, Asplenium 
marinum— H. J .: 1, Odontoglossum crispum var. ; 
2, Begonia knowsleyana; 3, Scirpus riparius.— A. 
Gibb : 1, Populus nigra ; 2, Populus alba canescens ; 
3, Abies pectinata ; 4, Juniperus sabina; 5, Thuya 
nutkaensis.— In tin box without letter: 1, Oncidium 
excavatum ; 2, Oncidium reflexum. 
Flowers in June .—Rubens : Only a small propor¬ 
tion of the plants you mention would be in b'.oom by 
the time you state, unless specially treated to bring 
about that result. Some are, in fact, brought on early, 
including Cannas, Pelargoniums and Calceolarias. 
Hippeastrums, popularly named Amaryllis, would 
still be flowering, also Phlox stolonifera, P. amoena, 
Pyrethrums and Paeonies. Pelargoniums, Pyre- 
thrums, and Paeonies would furnish all the colours 
you mention. Cacalias, Gladioli, Potentillas and 
Viscaria cardinalis would hardly be in bloom till 
July, after which they would continue till September 
at least. The Flame Flower is Tropaeolum specio- 
sum, and practically an autumn flower, being at its 
best in September. It is a magnificent thing but 
blooms best in Scotland, and does well in Wales 
and fairly so in some parts of England. 
Greenfly on Calceolarias.— Anxious: Get 
some tobacco paper in a pot or seed pan with a small 
quantity of red-hot cinders in the bottom. Set this 
in the frame and cover the latter over with a damp 
mat to keep in the smoke. Do this in the evening 
when the Calceolaris are dry and syringe them in
