Questions

1. Will it injure narcissus to cut the leaves
off now? Thought not

2. Can tomato ground be made too rich?
Yes, the plants will go too much to vine
and leaves; a little compost or nitrate
of soda good. Some say five feet
apart is better than four by four.

3. Wanted suggestions for plants for porch
boxes? If shady begonias. Nasturtiums
very satisfactory

4. How hasten the growth of rhubarb?
Put a barrel without top or bottom over
it. This also makes it tender.

5. What do to apple trees, which have scale?
