is becoming patchy you must lift the plants, dividing 
them into fresh pieces with roots attached, and 
replant them again after digging and leveling the 
soil where you intend making the edging. Take out 
a shallow trench alongside a tightly stretched line ; 
lay in a moderately close line of pieces, covering the 
roots and making the soil firm. Single, double or 
triple lines can be made according to option. We do 
not know the cost of tile edging, as they vary greatly 
according to quality. Three pot-makers advertising 
in our columns last week would no doubt be pleased 
to send you price lists if you explain what yon want. 
Potentilla with Aborted Petals.— Sigma: The 
specimen you sent us was a very small and starved 
one of its kind as far as appearance would go. It was 
evidently grown in a very dry soil, perhaps also a 
poor one. Of course, it is a matter for further in¬ 
vestigation and observation as to whether the char¬ 
acteristics shown by the specimen are constant or not. 
The leaves were small, and somewhat anomalous in 
growth ; but the flowers appeared to us to be merely 
past their blooming period, as most of them were 
advanced in the fruit stage. The drought may have 
caused the flowers to fall earlier than usual, but 
further observation may settle the point. 
Gooseberry Leaves with Red Scales. — D. W. D .: 
The leaves you speak of do not seem to have been 
put in the box with the flowers. At all events we 
failed to find them. From what you say of the 
malady, we believe that the leaves, possibly also the 
fruits of your Gooseberries have been attacked by the 
Gooseberry Cluster Cups or dust fungus (Accidium 
Grossulariae). There is no cure for the disease, 
that is, it cannot be killed by a fungicide, except the 
spores that are exposed on the surface. The attack 
is not usually very virulent, that is, it does not 
spread rapidly, and you could keep it in check by 
picking off the leaves and fruits affected, and burn¬ 
ing them to get rid of the spores and prevent their 
spreading. The spores of the fungus on the surface 
of the leaves might be destroyed, and the parasite 
kept in check by spraying with the Bordeaux 
Mixture, but as this is highly poisonous you cannot 
use it now owing to the advanced condition of the 
fruit. Picking the diseased leaves seems to be the 
most expedient remedy at present. The Bordeaux 
Mixture might be tried after the fruit has been 
gathered provided the fungus continues to show 
itself. If you have doubts of its being the Goose¬ 
berry Rust, please send us some twigs with leaves. 
American Cress for Winter and Spring. — Omega ; 
Sow seeds in drills about 9 in. apart at the beginning 
of the third week of August; and make another sowing 
in the first week of September. Should the weather 
be dry at that season, keep the ground watered till 
the seeds germinate at least. To get good leaves the 
plants must not be too crowded in the lines.
