''??rarr 12 The Florists' Review •October 10, SPOT DISEASE. I am sending you a carnation plant and should like to know why the shoots are dying and what is a good remedy. I sprinkled lime on the bed and some of it got on my plants. Would that cause the trouble? A. J. S. Your plants are affected by one of the spot diseases, apparently the same one that gave so much trouble on the Mrs. Lawson variety a few years ago. I would suggest that you go over the plants, carefully cutting out all the diseased shoots. Then spray heavily with Bordeaux mixture twice a week for two or three weeks, and then once each week for a time, until you see that you are getting the upper hand. Wash the Bordeaux off each time be- fore putting on the next application. The lime you sprinkled on the benches could have only a beneficial effect on the diseased plants. A. F. J. B. IN NEBRASKA. The accompanying illustration shows the new house recently completed by Charles Winkler, of Hastings, Neb., who planted it in July with 5,000 carna- tions and already is getting a good cut. Mr. Winkler and his men did all the work of erection on the house. The material was supplied by the John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, including iron gutters and pipe-frame benches, and the erection was done by the green- house employees. Mr. Winkler recently purchased two lots just west of the post-office, on which he is erecting a building for a retail store. A new 6-8tory hotel is being built on the opposite corner. Mr. Wink- ler paid $6,000 for the site, and within one hour was offered $7,000 for his bar- gain, but he refused to sell. He intends to make the place his permanent retail headquarters.
