sencials. A good formula to spray
some OF the plants with would be as
follows: A strong soap suds. includ-
ing one teaspoonful of nicotine to the
gallon, and one teaspoonful arsenate
of lime to the gallon. this mixture
thoroughly incorporated and sprayed
upon the plants would easily control
this pest. Any specific treatment
outside of the general directions
would necessitate further correspond
ence.
@. Can you easily transplant the
Boston type of Sprengerii fern sue
cessfully. and when is the proper time
to do itg Y. E.. R. +. D. No. /.
A. Both of these ferns are easily
transplanted, but they should be pro-
vided with living conditions in keep
ing with their requirements. The
main factor is good loamy soil. such
as woods earth or leaf mold. The
vessels in which they are set should
be well drained and provided with a
reasonable amount of plant food. They
should have at least a half days sun
shine, preferably in the morning. and
IL these conditions are observed one
may expect success.
Q. We want the largest type of Red
Globe radish and would like to know
what sort is best suited for the pur-
pose? C. E, Thomasville. Ala.
A. The Giant Crimson Globe would
undoubtedly serve the purpose better
than any other sort 1t is the largest
Red Globe that can be used CONNER
cially and the quality is of the very

/ one may be substituted for the other.
The arsenate of lime IL somewhat
stronger than arsenate of lead, yet
it is about equally efficient. More in
formation is really needed to deter
mine definitely.
Q. What variety of radish do you
consider the best for commercial
uses? f. S., Montgomery, Ala.
A. The variety would depend alto
gether on what is desired in the re-
sulting crop. If a turnip sort is
wanted. the Scarlet Globe or the Scar
let Turnip White Tip. might best
serve the purpose. But some mar
kets require a long radish, and in
this case the Cincinnati Market or
the Long Scarlet Short Top would
better serve the purpose. Questions
of this character should carry all the
needed Information that would en-
able us to be specific in our answers.
1t is the purpose of The Age Herald
to be explicit in all of their answers
but those who inquire should give us
sufficient information on which to
base our conclusions.
@. A neighbor of ours has vine
known as the Missionary Vine. 1t is
very prolific in character and an ex-
tensive grower. and maintains it's fol-
iage until heavy frost Can you tell
us what is lndlcated Dy these deScrfp-
tons?
A. The question is somewhat diff
cult in the absence of more definite
specifications, but the vine in ques-
ton must be what is known as An
l.tigonum Leptopus, known botanic
cally as Rosea de Montana. known
also as Queens Crown. and in some
places in Texas as Mexican Climber.
The vine itself is perennial in char
acter. and while it may die down in
the fall of the year 1t will come again
in the coming year. A special letter
is being written you on the subject,
which will probably clarity your in

not reproduce from the roots the sec
ond year like Johnson grass. 1t must
be planted every year.

NJ. F., Alabama City, Ala.
A. kochia, summer cypress, Mex

is an annual and easily grown from

is probably better to use them this
late. The plant grows two to three

@. + want powder to kill potato
bugs. 1 don't want Paris green. Can
you suggest something that will do
the work? G. S., r. f. d. No. Z.
A. There are number of prepared
remedies that will serve the purpose.
Bug Death, Slug Shot and Black
Death are all effective. The latter
remedy is probably the best. 1t may
be busted on the vines without the
use of a sprayer or dust gun.

suita BILE variety for this purpose we
would be interested in hearing from
you through The AgeHerald. f. B.,

A. Most of the Lima beans In this
section do not fill out on account of
warm weather conditions at the time
of maturity. The best varieties to
grow in this section are the Carolina
or Sieva, either white or speckled,
and the Carpinteria pole. These va
rieties generally fill out even under
our severe conditions, and as a matter
of fact most Of our bunch varieties do
the same.

terias advertised in bulletins. but

NIILDEW ON ROSES

In the past 10 months The Age
Herald has carried numerous articles
on the subject of mildew, not only on
roses. related plants and various
other flowers that are subject to mil
dew, but inasmuch as this trouble is
manifesting itself in serious manner
this early in the season, it is appro-
pirate that some observation on this
disease be commented on at this time
and a repetition given of a desirable
and practical remedy.
The busting of any plants affected
with ordinary mildew may be con-
trolled by the application of common
powdered sulphur, providing the job
is done thoroughly. There are pre-
pared remedies on the market, such

have to stick-that is to say, one of
the best dwarf sorts. What variety
could you recommend for our use.
X. Y, Kennedy, Ala.
A. We have several varieties of
dwarf tomatoes, but the best sort
for either home use or commercial
purposes Is Dwarf Champion. Plants
are obtainaole. but 1t is really best to
plant the seed, because there Is plenty
of time In which to mature early to-
matoes from the planting Of seed.
@. We want cantaloupe shaped
like the Rocky Ford. ribbed and net
ted, but much larger. Can you sug
gest variety that would meet these
requirements. o. r.. Opelika. Ala.
A. There are number of varieties
of the larger type cantaloupe that
would meet these requirements. but
the best one would probably be Mon
treal Market, a large type Of green
flesh melon OF exceptional quality
and should please the most particular
customer.
O. Which Is the best material for
spraying, lime sulphur or Bordeaux.
and where can we get printed infor-
nation on the subject! II. u, nus
sellville, Ala.
A. The answer to this question is a
difficult one and would really depend
on certain conditions not indicated in
your letter. AS a general proposition
the lime sulphur treatment is the
best, because less injurious to foliage.
But there are circumstances where
Bordeaux mixture would pest serve
the purpose In order to enable us
to give definite information more in
formation is needed as basis for a
definite conclusion.
A. Last year my cedars and arbor
vitaes were affected with what some
of my friends call the bag worm.

such measures as would bring them

entirely worthless from a market
standpoint, Any one who wants to
grow tomatoes for market had better
stick to the old standard sorts.
Q. There is pepper, kind of heart
shaped. sweet, but not very large
and almost solid meat. When ripe
it gets to be an intense red and has
no heat about 1t. Could you tell us
from this description what 1t is and

S. W., Gadsden, Ala.
A. Your description fits the Pimen-
to pepper that Is a real sweet pepper

poses. You can grow from seed

MARVELLOUS KUDzU VINE

We are indebted to Japan for many
of our most valuable plants and
among which is the kudzu.
This plant Is really a remarkable
vine. 1t Is sometimes called Jack
and the Bean Stalk" because at GER
tain seasons 1t will sometimes grow
a foot in "a hours. 1t produces a
dark purple flower, resembling wis
terra, and the foliage and flower
looks much like velvet bean. For a
rapid growing and dense shade pro-
Queer 1t Is unexcelled. The way to
get start of kuduz is to put out
roots which are freely available from
seed stores. If set out now they will
soon come into foliage, and while
they grow slowly at first, when 1t
does get really hot, they literally
jump. While a wonderful vine, the
greatest use of this plant Is as a
forage crop. Nearly all stock are
crazy about 1t. and 1t will grow on
any poor hillside without cultivation
or little preparation. 1t Will not only
grow on poor land, but will greatly
enrich such soils, even more so than
such plants as cowpeas, velvet beans,
soy beans, peanuts, etc.
