THE GARDENING WOtZLD 
September 30, 1905. 
Beans at each of the spots selected. As soon as 
they commence to run, or show signs of it, you 
should insert tall stout stakes to each hill. Draw 
the stakes together at the top and tie them all 
with one piece, of twine. When the stems are 
furnished with trusses of bloom, any side shoots 
they may be showing can be pinched out with the 
view of encouraging the setting of the blossoms. 
We must say, however, that this pinching of the 
side shoots is an operation which we have never 
had to undertake. You are advised to have these 
hills or stations for the Beans 5 ft. apart; that 
being the case, there will be no danger of one set 
of Beans falling over the other and obstructing the 
light. If you desire to have more than one row 
of these bills, they should also be 5 ft. apart 
row from row. The ground between might be use¬ 
fully occupied with Cauliflower, Cabbages, or any 
other useful vegetable. 
Galls on Rose Leaves. 
M. C. E. would like the Editor of The Garden¬ 
ing World to say in the next number what this 
is, and if common on Rose leaves. 
The small globular bodies produced on the Rose 
leaf you send are known as one of the Rose galls 
produced by an insect. There are numerous kinds 
of them, but- the kind you send is produced by 
an insect named Rhodites Eglanteriae, the female 
fly of which lays eggs upon the under-surface of 
the leaf, and in doing so sets up an irritation in 
the tissue of the leaf, causing the outgrowths you 
send, known as Rose galls. Evidently you cut 
some of them open before sending them away, 
and we need only add that the grubs in them are 
the young of the fly which laid the eggs. Usually 
this insect confines its attention to the Dog Rose 
and Sweet Brier, so that the garden Roses are 
seldom troubled by the same. You do not state 
whether the specimen you sent was a garden Rose 
or not. When they appear in gardens, all you 
require to do is to cut off the leaves bearing the 
galls, and burn them, to prevent the spread of 
the insect next year. 
Gloxinias, Begonias, and Celosias Diseased. 
Gould you tell me the cause of enclosed plants 
having such a brown appearance? They have had 
shade from the sun. We have not a plant of this 
kind but what is affected in the same way. We 
have been troubled with it now for two seasons. 
What is the best cure for it? (Constant Reader.) 
The leaves of the Begonias and Gloxinias you 
sent us contained young thrips, as well as a very 
small and almost colourless mite. Either of these 
enemies is sufficient to cause the damage you men¬ 
tion, but both of them are certainly very mis¬ 
chievous enemies, that have to be severely dealt 
with in order to check them. You state that your 
plants were shaded, but at the same time time the 
atmosphere of the house must have been dry, and 
this favours the two pests indicated. You cannot 
help your plants now beyond cleaning them and 
enabling them to ripen off their foliage. Next 
year you should keep a very close eye upon the 
plants, and commence operations at once whenever 
you see any trace of the leaves becoming brown 
or stunted in growth. Strong soapsuds or Gis- 
hurst compound in very strong solution will answer 
the purpose. Get a tub, and place a hoard over 
the top of it on which to lay your plants. Then 
thoroughly syringe the under side of the leaves 
with the solution of soft soap or Gishurst com¬ 
pound, as the case may be. Return the plants to 
their position on the benches, and when closing the 
house thoroughly damp the hot-water pipes, paths, 
and other available space in the house, so as to 
create a steamy moisture in the atmosphere. We 
should repeat the steaming the second and third 
evening, and this will probably be sufficient to 
eradicate the pest if you have not allowed it to 
get too far. We have seen this successfully done 
and the Gloxinias afterwards come to perfection. 
Remember to begin on the very first appearance of 
the 1 disease.
