Will you examine the spefimcns of chrysanthemum plants mailed to you from Dayton, 0., and determine their ailment? These plants get a red cast, shrivel up and then appear to discon- tinue their growth. They become af- fected at different stages of develop- ment. Sometimes they are well budded and ready to open when they die. The Seidewitz late pink and white varieties are the ones which are mostly affected, in spite of the fact that they have re- ceived the same treatment as that ad- ministered to the other varieties, which seem to be in a healthy condition and growing well. H. —O. The specimen plants reveal no or- ganic trouble. They seem to be af- fected with leaf-spots, the best remedy for which is to keep them on the dry side of the bench and be particular about spraying. Give them a good dust- ing of sulphur or spray them with a sul- phur solution, which will keep the spores from spreading. Mums should be grown much drier at this time of the year than they are in the summer months. Overhead spraying is practically aban- doned and any watering necessary should be done in the early morning hours and only ill sunny weather, in order that the plants may become ]ierfectly dry before nightfall. There is much among the Seidewitz stock in the country and it would be advisable, after the i)lants have flowered this year, to throw away all of those which are affected in any way at all and begin over again with a stock of perfectly clean plants. It is one of the oldest creeds of the hybrid- izer, whether he is raising prize sheei> or liowers, that "like jiroduces like,'" which is only another way of saying what is so often emphasized—be sure that your stock is clean at all times if vou wish to grow successful crops.
