I am sending you under separate cover an American Beauty plant that seems to be affected with some sort of trouble. Can you tell me the cause of the trouble and a remedy for it! The plants are grown in a 150-foot house, on raised benches. The old wood was cut back and the young shoots are sub- ject to this trouble. The foliage be- comes light, then begins to droop and finally the plants die. Some time ago I found one affected plant in a bench of healthy ones. Sometimes the leaves first have a dark border, then turn brown and fall off. The night tempera- ture is 58 to 60 degrees. W. K.—Mo. From the appearance of the specimen received, the plants were 2 years old, which had been rested for a while by withholding water and then started up again. The plants made new shoots, then turned yellow and died. This often occurs in starting up roses. The old soil around the roots is not thor- oughly saturated before removing any of the soil. The new soil takes the water readily, but the ball of old soil around the plants will shed the water. The plants, receiving some nnoisture through syringing, will make weak shoots, but the soil around the roots is dry, which means that no new roots are made to support the new shoots. As a result the foliage turns yellow and, in time, the plants die. This is probably the cause of the trouble in this case, as the plants adjacent to the dead one may have taken enough water and made good growths at the roots. W. J. K. OBAFTED BOSE PLANTS BEST.

Frau Karl Druschki and all other hy- brid perpetual roses are much better in your state when grafted or budded. Such stock possesses greater vigor than that propagated from cuttings, is
