As I, like H. A. C, am located in central Alabama, my experience may possibly be of some value to him. For quick and satisfactory results I would prefer 4-inch stock to any other in the heavy soil referred to, but I would advise a good mulching of decayed cow manure during the hot summer months, and that the plants be given plenty of water.

We are certain that the burning was not caused by syring- ing, as we have not syringed them lately. We have been feeding them with liquid manure.
