The submerged flower beds and Horticultural Hall. close, sour or waterlogged soil; starva- tion, the plants being potbound and un- able to keep the chlorophyl going in the leaves; lack of ammonia in the atmos- phere, or too much sunlight. The first is the worst condition and most difficult to put right. The plants should be shaken clear out of the soil, and the sooner the better, for the close mois- ture laden, inert mass is poison to the roots that are alive, very often not many. Wash the soil clean away from the roots and cut out all that are dead or decay- ing; then when again dry repot in a smaller sized pot and place in a warrn moist house. Some will die, some will recover but if only a few are saved it is better than having the houses littered up with unprofitable stock. The remedial measures when a plant is potbound or suffers from any of the other troubles mentioned are obvious so need not be described more than to say that the longer the plants are left in unsuitable conditions the worse they will be to re- cover.
