THE GARDENING WORLD 
December 9, 1893. 
enemy may be detected by the swollen appearance 
of the young roots. All parts of the plants affected 
in this way should be cut oflf and burnt, as no satis¬ 
faction can be expected from them. In houses 
where the plants are badly affected, a further pre¬ 
caution may be taken, namely, to fumigate them 
about one# a fortnight to destroy the perfect flies 
that may have escaped, ready to lay their eggs 
afresh on other plants to destroy the young growths 
in the same way, and thereby frustrate the labour 
of the grower. 
Cinerarias injured. — Janus-. When once the 
leaves get injured by frost they rarely recover. The 
plants themselves may continue to grow and flower 
in due time, but they will lack the fine appearance 
they would have had if attended bet the large leaves 
produced at the base of the plants. They should 
have been taken into a heated structure at an earlier 
period before any danger from frost could have 
arisen. A heated pit is the best place for them after 
the end of October, for no one can guarantee the 
weather after that time. Benches with a coating of 
ashes serve to retain that moist atmosphere about 
them which they so much enjoy. 
Megaseas.— ff. P. W.-. They are very easy to 
manage. The time they will come into bloom will 
depend upon the kind and also the temperature to 
which the plants are subjected. Should you wish 
them to flower soon, you must of course place them 
in a mild heat; if the latter is too high the flowers 
will come away rapidly, but they will be thin and 
short-lived. An intermediate house would be 
sufficient to start them, but the sooner they are 
removed to a greenhouse after that the better and 
more durable they will be when they come into 
bloom. After flowering is over, harden the plants 
off and place them in a cold frame. 
SiBTHORPiA europaea variegata. —J CalJcr : The 
reason for your failure to keep this plant in a healthy 
and attractive condition is because you keep it in too 
dry an atmosphere. A greenhouse is unsuitable. In 
a wild state it grows where the moisture is always 
oozing out of the rocks, thereby keeping it in a 
moist condition. Under cultivation no better place 
can be given it than a cool Orchid house, where the 
atmosphere is always kept tolerably damp. Water 
freely whenever necessary; but no bell-glass or 
other covering than that of the roof of the house 
will be required. 
Names of Plants. — E. L.: i, Retinospora 
obtusa; 2, Retinospora obtusa; 3, Juniperus 
virginiana ; 4, Erica vagans ; 5, Daphne Mezereum 
(premature development owing to the past season) ; 
6, Taxus baccata adpressa. S. J. IV.: 1, Cattleya 
Bowringiana ; 2, Oncidium varicosum Rogersii; 3, 
Selaginella reptans ; 4, Pteris straminea. M.Y.: i. 
Begonia incarnata, usually known as B. insignis; 2, 
Begonia semperflorens carminea gigantea ; 3, 
Phyllanthus glaucescens ; 4, Cypripedium Boxallii; 
5, Cattleya Skinned. 
Auriculas Flowering.— A. S. : It is no unusual 
occurrence for your plants to behave in the way they 
have done. The mild autumn and the open 
character of the early part of winter have all been 
favourable to it. The flowers are from buds that 
ought to have remained dormant till spring, so that 
you cannot expect the plants to flower so well as they 
otherwise would have done. If you wished to con¬ 
serve the energy of your plants as much as possible, 
the flower scapes should have been pulled out when¬ 
ever you detected them. Keeping the plants on the 
dry side, and well ventilated, would also have 
checked growth to a considerable extent. As it is 
you will have to be content with a smaller display of 
bloom in spring ; in all probability the most of the 
plants will flower again at that time. 
Ants. — G. Mitchell: You may scatter some 
carbolic acid in their runs to drive them away. If 
this cannot be conveniently done, they can be 
trapped by placing some jars about containing water 
sweetened with brown sugar,strong smelling syrup, or 
something of that nature to attract attention. Sink 
the jars in the ground, or furnish the ants the means 
of getting on to the edge^ of the jars so that they 
may drop into the liquid and so be caught. 
Names of Fruits. — W. S-manborough : 3 and 6, 
Dutch Codlin ; 5, Wyken Pippin ; 7, Grange’s 
Pearmain ; 8, Harvey's Wiltshire Defiance ; ii. Egg 
or White Paradise; 12, Golden Noble; 14, Rymer. 
The rest next week so far as we can recognise them. 
Many of them are no doubt local sorts totally un¬ 
known elsewhere.— T. L. i, Fearn’s Pippin ; 2, Kerry 
Pippin; 3,Hawthornden;6, Golden Reinette; 7, Beauty 
of Kent; 8, Nonsuch; g, Hanwell Souring ; 10, Dutch 
Codlin ; ii. Winter Greening ; 14, French Crab.— W. 
K. I, New Hawthornden; 2, Beauty of Kent; 3, Bringe- 
wood Pippin ; 4, Wyken or Warwickshire Pippin.
