seeds (a 20-cent article can 't often be 

 bought for 10 cents unless something is 

 wrong with it). The cost of seed pro- 

 duction is constantly increasing. It 

 would seem as though the time had come 

 for seed growers to "get together."

TROUBLE WITH BOSTONS. 



In one of my houses of Boston ferns 

 I notice a lot of mealy bugs are doing 

 do mage. I found the bugs in the tips 

 of the leaves, and it seems as if they 

 had followed the leaf as it unrolls. How 

 shall I wage war on the pest? I also 

 find some stunted leaves in the same 

 house. It seems as though the plants 

 got a sudden cheek in growth or the 

 tips were burned. Did the mealy bug 

 cause this? L. 



One of the best remedies for mealy 

 bugs on Boston ferns is fumigation with 

 aphis punk. If this preparation is used 

 carefully, so as to avoid any blazing of 

 the paper, no injury will be done to the 

 ferns, but it is probable that the fumi- 

 gation may need to be repeated two or 

 three evenings before the smoke reaches 

 all the insects. The crippling of the 

 tips of the fronds may have been caused 

 by the mealy bugs if the plants are 

 badly infested, but there are at least 

 two other possible causes for such an in- 

 jury. If the plants have been allowed 

 to get dry once or twice the young 

 growth would suffer in that way, or if 

 too much fresh manure was used in the 

 compost the ammonia therein might 

 scorch the tender tips of the ferns.

Overveen, Holland. — The Dutch Hor- 

 ticultural Society has awarded a first- 

 class certificate to M. Van Waveren & 

 Son, Hillegom, for Gypsophila pani- 

 eulata fl. pi. as a new plant, also a cer- 

 tificate of merit to the same for Tritoma 

 Pfitzeri, a plant which deserves to be 

 more widely known.
