SCALE ON CYCAS AND KENTIAS. 

 Kindly let me know the safest, quick- 

 est and most effective remedy for scale 

 on cycas revoluta and Kentia Belmore- 

 ana. II. C. < •. 



The safest, quickest and most effectual 

 remedy for scale on these plants is to 

 sponge them carefully with a solution 

 of whale-oil soap, or tobacco soap, and 

 if the leaves are hard and thoroughly 

 developed the solution may be quite 

 strong, for example, two to' three ounces 

 of the soap to a gallon of water, but [ 

 would not use so strong a dose on a 

 young kentia leaf. Thi 

 ject to attacks of the large bn 

 and in that case a careful sponging 

 would effect at least a temporal 

 but if the plant in question is badly af- 

 fected with white scale it might be bet- 

 ter to cut off the fronds than to atti 



to clean them, for this pest woul 



the foliage badly spotted afti

The freeze at Rocky Ford, Colo., which 

 cut the melon crop there, is likely to add 

 to the seed supply of that variety. 

 Frosted melons do not stand shipping, 

 but they may make seed. 



A. Ringiee returned to Chicago this 

 week from a trip to Colorado. He re- 

 ports business west in a very healthy 

 condition. W. W. Barnard is on an 

 eastern trip for two weeks. 



The fine weather of the present week 

 will add something to the bean crop. It 

 will also help late varieties of sweet 

 com, and may change the situation on 

 other see. I staple;, which have not been 

 promising of late. 



RECENT reports from Utah point to a 

 more liberal supply of alfalfa. The ex- 

 tremely high prices this seed commanded 

 during last spring causes farmers to ex- 

 pect good figures this fall and indica- 

 tions are that they will get them. 



It is very late, but in some places the 

 harvest of onion sets is not yet com- 

 pleted. ( T p to the middle of the past 

 week quite an acreage was still unhar- 

 \este.| ;,t Chicago. Unfavorable weather 

 i- responsible in part for the delay, but 

 the variation in the ripening of the sets 

 is the main reason for the lateness of 

 the harvest. 



On September 20 the Western Seeds- 

 men's Association issued its crop bul- 

 letin No. _, which gives a general idea 

 of the crop situation, and the associa- 

 tion's judgment as to what seed values 

 are likely to be the coining season. It 

 puts sweel corn and cucumber prices 

 high, and states that the deliveries on 

 peas will probably fall ten per cent lower
