The Gardeners' chronicle : a weekly illustrated journal of horticulture and allied subjects . tained a height of 9 feet 7^ inflorescence itself was 2 feet 5^ inches inheight from base to apex and the stalk from itsorigin among the leaves about 3£ feet scape grew in .height at the rate of abouthalf an inch per day until the branches of theinflorescence began to grow, and when they hadnearly ceased growth the flowers began to flowering period lasted just about a monthand the flowers were of slightly greenish yellowcolour, as nearly as possible the Pyrethrum yellowof the Repertoire de GouleurS, published by theSociete Francais des Chrysanthemistes, distri-buted by the Royal Horticultural Society. The ac-companying illustrations, one of the entire plantand flower, another of the inflorescence, and athird of the young rising scape showing the veryfine bracts, show well what the general appear-ance was. In the rising of the scape there was a CELERY BLIGHT OR RUST {SEPTOUIA PETROSELINIyak. J PIT)[AND ITS PREVENTION. (Concluded jrom Vol. LIII., page bl6.). very interesting feature which seemed almostabnormal at the time. It appeared after thetime of the small illustration of the early risingstage. The large bracts of one side extendedover the top, covering and forming a sort of cowlover the growing point; but as the inflorescencegrew to be quite symmetrica], this must havebeen quite normal. It seemed evidently to forma protection for the top, but apparently no pro-tection against rain can be necessary in its nativecountry. Since the illustration of 1910, sidegrowths have extended so that the width of themass is now about 8 feet 1£ inches. Ait thebase of the a shoot is growing so that thesymmetry of the mass may not much be spoiltby the loss of the original and central growing and flowering of this plant is agood example of what can be done in a warmand sheltered corner outside plant-houses.
