The trouble with the geranium leaves i=i caused by either some water or soil condition, or it may be both. The leaves plainly show that something which acts on the tissues of the leaves is affecting them, causing the edges to dry up and turn brown. The trouble is so marked and serious that if the leaves sent are a fair specimen of the rest of the stock, every effort should be put forth to find out where the trouble lies, and I should suggest that you take the matter up with your state experimental station. M. P. FAULTY GERANIUM CULTURE. I am sending you two diseased gera- niums. Can you tell me what the trouble is and how to control it? C. H. K.—Mich. My opiniou of the cause of the con- dition of the geraniums is that you have been too hasty in pushing the plants along, not giving them a fair opportu- nity to establish themselves and get strength in the various stages of their growth.
