The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



THRIPS. 



In reading Jlr. E. Buettner's interest 

 ing talk on mignonette, pnblished or 

 page 382 of The Kcviow of h\-h. 21, I see ! 

 he is anxious to learn of a remedy for I 

 thrips, and I have heard of many other 

 growers who comiilained about the rav- 

 ages of this pest. 



I have found Gishurst compound an 

 eflective remedy and suggest tliat this be 

 employed. It is an old English insecti- 

 cide and it can be had from any of the 

 large seedsmen or supply dealers. 



A few years ago I had a bench of 

 chrysanthemums that were brown with 

 thrips in July. I used Gishurst com- 

 pound as per directions on the package, 

 syringing up one side and down the 

 same, giving only one application, and 

 the growth from that time on was clean 

 and strong and all that could be desired. 

 If it is so elfeetive on chrysanthemums 

 it will surely kill the thrips on migno- 

 nette, psjiceially if applied before the 

 latter is in bloom. 



Thrips are also very annoying on roses, 

 as most growers well know, and espe- 

 cially on carried - over stock. The in- 

 sects work down into the buds and it is 

 very difficult to eradicate them. Were 

 Gishurst compound applied at the prun- 

 ing season I think the plants would be 

 very little troubled by the pest after- 

 wards. Some growers claim that fumi- 

 gating strongly with tobacco stems is 

 A-ery effective. I have not found it so, but 

 Gishurst compound makes clean work.
