Under separate cover we have sent a plant of our schizanthus. As you will see, the leaves are turning white at the edges, and-in a short time they will die. We have a large number of 6-incl» plants of these, and are anxious to know the cause and the remedy for the failing foliage. We grow the plants as cool as possible, 45 degrees at night, but in the daytime the tempera- ture goes up to 70 degrees. Any in- formation you can give us will be much appreciated. J. B. It looks as though the foliage had been injured by fumigation. Schi- zanthus foliage is delicate, and the use of tobacco stems or hydrocyanic acid gas would cause the scorching of the leaves. If grown cool and carefully watered, schizanthus is of easy culture. Either fumigation or an overdose of some chemical fertilizer is the most likely cause of the burning. C.
