THE FLORIST. 19 



If green-fly should attack your plants, fumigate with tobacco ; 

 for if the fly once get a- head, the plants will never recover suffi- 

 ciently to give satisfaction. 



Mildew is another enemy which must be looked after. As soon 

 as it is perceived, dust the plants with a little sulphur, which will 

 soon stop it from doing much mischief ; always remembering the old 

 saying, that " a stitch in time saves nine."

 faction, and which are useful, either for out or in-door work, and fit
