Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. '>j. 634. Leaf of Cycas revoluta. after the plants are taken into the greenhouse and when about to mature into blooming specimens. If the first flowers come deformed, or abnormally streaked with colors that are darker in shade, it is a sure indication that the pest is present. No other treatment can be recommended but to destroy the infected plants and keep the stock clean, for the pest has not yet been studied carefully. Cult, by E. O. Okpet. Cyclamens should be removed to the greenhouse about the end of September, or before any danger of frost. In the house they should always have the lightest bench. It is impossible to grow them in a warm, shady house. About 50° at night is the ideal temperature when in flower. The soil best suited to them is a fresh, tufty loam, with a fourth or iifth of well rotted horse- manure, to which add some clean sand if the soil is heavy. At all times, the pots should be well drained. Greenfly is sure to attack the plants at all stages of their growth. In the frames the plants can be plunged in tobacco stems, and in the greenhouse they must be fumigated or, what is better still, vaporized with some of the nicotine extracts. William Scott. A.
