John N. May. BLOOMS WITH GREEN CENTEHS. Ed. Am. Florist:—Please tell me the cause of our Brides and Bridesmaids coming with green centers. The leaves of the plants are very yellow. We have kept them rather on the dry side, as the temperature was very irregular, some- times going as low as 43°. What is the best temperature <or these varieties in order to have continuous success with them? J. C. Green centers in Bride and Bridesmaid roses are often caused by disbudding too early, though in the presentcase I should hardly think this could be the cause as the yellow leaves would not indicate a vigorous growth and I should be inclined to attribute the trouble to the irregular temperatures. To secure the best class of flowers and a uniform pro- duction of them, an average night tem- perature between 54° and 56° should be maintained with plenty of air on all favorable days; water carefully as required and keep the house and plants clean.

Can you suggest a cause and remedy? F. Replying to ";,also "G. ;, I would state that these varieties always produce a considerable number of blind shoots
