THE GAKDENING WORLD 
October 19, 1889. 
their earlier stage you will see the point that has been punctured 
in the very centre. It is dark, and from it radiate slender dark 
lines, which are nothing more nor less than the venation of the 
leaf itself. The cells around the punctured part die, producing 
whitish or pale brown spots which go on enlarging till finally 
they get dry and drop out, leaving holes in the leaves. In the 
same way the tips of the leaves are dying, as the result of many 
punctures and consequent loss of substance. IVe should advise 
you to examine the plants carefully to discover if possible the 
enemy at work. 
Cvpripedicm Haynaldianum.— G: The number of flowers 
borne on a spike of this Orchid depends on the vigour of the 
plant. When well grown, it will develop five to six flowers in 
succession from the same scape, so that your plant bearing four 
flowers on a stalk would only be a good average specimen. We 
believe it is but a matter of good cultivation to make a plant 
bear even more than the number above stated, just as good 
cultivation results in twin-flowered scapes on C. Spicerianum, C. 
Harrisianum, C. insigne, and others. 
Dwarf Roses.— Stella : Plant about 30 ins. apart, more or 
less, according to the strength of the plants and the quality of 
the soil. 
Fuchsias.—P. M.: It is beyond our power to name ordinary 
garden varieties of Fuchsias; there are too many of them, and we 
regret we cannot assist you this time. 
Moss Litter Manure for Vines.— Vitis says, “I am about to 
make a Vine border, and have plenty of moss litter from the 
hunting stables, and should be glad to know if that would 
answer as well as ordinary manure for mixing with the soil.” 
Moss litter is of no value as a manure in itself, but it is valuable 
as an absorbent of urine, and therefore useful as a top-dressing. 
If the soil used by “ Vitis ” is of good heart we should prefer to 
make the border of it alone, and trust to moss litter for its 
enrichment when required as a mulching. Perhaps some of our 
readers will give their experience. 
Moss on Lawn Tennis Ground.— Stella : To get rid of the 
moss, apply as a top-dressing, about J in. deep, one part of 
powdered lime to three parts of fresh loam free from weeds. It 
should be put on this month or left till April.

was 29'32 ins.; the highest reading was 29'71 ins. on 
Sunday morning, and the lowest was 29'02 ins. on

49'8°, and 2'5° below the average in the corresponding 
weeks of the twenty years ending 1868. The mean 
was below the average on each day of the week, 
the coldest day being Friday. The general direction 
of the wind was south-west and the horizontal 
movement of the air averaged 13'5 miles per hour, 
which was 3'3 miles above the average in the corre¬ 
sponding weeks of sixteen years. Rain fell on four days 
of the week to the aggregate amount of 0'57 of an 
inch. The duration of registered bright sunshine in 
the week was 31T hours, against 211 hours at

T he beautiful easter lily.— 
For festival decorations, and in establishments where a 
quantity of snow-white bloom is required, this lovely LTy is 
invaluable. It can also be readily forced into bloom by Christ¬ 
mas. Magnificent groups were exhibited by us during last 
spring at the Royal Botanic and Crystal Palace Shows, on both 
occasions gaining an important award. These displays were 
pronounced by all who saw them to be the finest exhibits of 
pure white Lilies ever staged. We again hold the entire stock 
of the largest cultivator in Bermuda, and are now supplying 
fine sound bulbs, price Is. and 2s. each, 10s. 6 d. and 21s. per
