ANSWERS TO PUZZLED GARDENERS
H.M., Epsom.—Sample of grass received. The only way of effectively ridding your lawn of this pest is by digging it out. "Weedkillers, if applied, will also kili out the other grasses you wish to save. Palms.—Possibly your plant, being imported, was specially forced along for sale. I suggest you place it outside for say ten days under the shade of trees or in a sheltered position out of the sun. This should help the leaves to strengthen. The plant should not require dividing for some months vet, but I advise using a little plant food in liquid form, say, every three weeks. Enquirer, State Forest.—The apple sent is evidently an unnamed seedling and the flavour poor. I suggest this variety was cut out and replaced by a more profitable cropper. No. 1 pear is called YA inter Cole seedling; No. 2 pear, label loose and unattached; No. 3, "Winter Nelis; No. 4, label loose and unattached; No. 5, Winter Cole. One of the unlabelled pears was Beurre Diel and the other too far decayed to name.
