cissus bulbs have evidently been starved 
by the Walltlowers. 
‘Anxious.’ — The condition of the 
foliage is evidently due to the prevalence 
of cold east winds, and there is nothing 
you can do to prevent these. 
EDITORIAL. 
<a 
W* tamer pleasure in presenting 
our compliments and very best 
of good wishes to the readers of the 
‘“Australian Gardener.’’ We do 
so in the spirit of gratification for 
the splendid support they have 
afforded in the past, and the 
encouraging help offered for future 
work. The public have shown 
that they appreciate information 
upon gardening in all its beautiful 
phases of work and interest. We 
believe that no country in the world 
has a keener inherent love of 
Nature than Australia, and it only 
requires direction and a little inspi- 
ration to work the people up to an 
enthusiasm, such as is witnessed in 
the old country. Australians have 
everything in their favor for grow- 
ing flowers to enjoy, and to send to 
the markets of other countries. 
The prime products of wheat, wool, 
and minerals have received the con- 
centrated attention of the commer- 
cial people, and it is only during 
the last few years that much has 
been done in the matter of wine and 
fruits. Now we would suggest 
that more attention be given to an 
exchange of products of the flori- 
cultural world. The climatic 
conditions are favorable to the 
production of everything of value 
in the Northern Hemisphere. Why 
should we not supply the old world 
markets? We leave the suggestion 
with those in the trade who are 
able to cope with it. 
To all in the trade we wish 
success, whether producing for 
profit or pleasure, or in the literary 
world, disseminating information, 
and to all our readers interested in 
the most beautiful handiwork of 
God in Nature we sincerely wish a 
Harry & ProspERouS NEw YEAR.
