HYDROCYANIC ACID GAS. 



A reader reports some unpleasant re- 

 sults from the use of this gas. He tried 

 it first for curl leaf in violets, with 

 very satisfactory effect. Then he used 

 it in general plant houses, and is very 

 sorry he did. Carnations were hadly 

 injured, so were geraniums, asparagus, 

 ageratunis, orchids and roses. Curi- 

 ously enough, adiantum ferns were not 

 affected; neither were heliotrope and 

 several other supposedly tender plants, 

 and. as evidence that the gas was not 

 used too strong, he states that he found 

 live sow bugs and red spider in the 

 house the next day. 



Evidently there is still much to learn 

 about this gas as an insecticide, and it 

 should be experimented with most cau- 

 tiously. The fact that it is so deadly 

 to human as well as insect life has de- 

 terred us from recommending its use 

 to our readers. And now that we re- 

 ceive the above report, we are more 

 than ever inclined to urge florists to 

 let it alone. The gas is death to any- 

 one who inhales it for only a moment, 

 and ever since it has been recom- 

 mended as an insecticide we have lived 

 in fear of receiving a report that some 

 experimenter had put himself in a po- 

 sition to receive an obituary notice. 



THEY LIKE THE REVIEW. 



The best paper for the trade.

I am so well pleased with the Re- 

 view that I feel we cannot get along 

 without it. I wish you the best of 

 success, which you thoroughly deserve.
