In 1926 and 1928 hurricanes did severe damage to the seedling lime trees, completing the havoc already being wrought by withertip and red root, the spread of the latter disease being still further assisted by the loosening and twisting of the roots during the storms. Limes budded on sour orange...

Results of trials since 1928 with various horticultural plants, e.g. melons, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peas, etc. The best source of illumination was found to be Neon light. Expenses are high, hence floriculture seems more suitable for the practice. The best way of dealing with young plants is to...

For highest efficiency the grapes must be dipped, special dips containing olive oil, glycerine or mineral oil offering possibilities for improvement of colour and keeping quality. Dehydrators suitable for prunes, if flexible enough, give satisfactory results with grapes. The heat and air supply...

An examination of 200 to 300 specimens each of different Javanese forms of citrus showed the vegetative seedlings produced from the mother plants as follows: C. med 40-50 per cent., C. hybr. 54-96 per cent., C. mitis 98.6-100 per cent., C. nob. 92-100 per cent. Methods for eliminating seedlings of...

The absence of boron in water and sand cultures has a bad effect. In water cultures root decline generally precedes foliage decline. In sand cultures foliage symptoms are obvious early enough to save the plants if required. Similar foliage symptoms having been observed in the field, the possibility ...

The study here reported revealed that differences in the chemical compositions of strains exist and that these are inheritable. The differences generally found were in the quantities of peel, oil, insoluble solids and acid.

The growth of roots and tops of citrus is cyclic, with the growth of the roots preceding that of the tops, and not overlapping till the autumn, when the two may coincide if the growth cycle is the fourth of the season. There may be a decided rest period between the time when the roots cease to...

Analyses were made for the determination of soluble solids, sugar, and acid of the fruit of six unsprayed trees.
Application of statistical methods (described) indicated that two of the trees were abnormal and could be discarded for the purpose of taking normal samples. Applied practically this...

Citrus trees cannot be adequately manured unless the soil reaction of the soil in which they are growing is first ascertained. The article explains why.

Urges the use of trees worked only with buds from trees producing superior fruit. Deprecates the tendency to plant unguaranteed trees because of their slightly lower price.
