APHIS ON VIOLETS. 



I am liaviug trouble with lirown aph- 

 ides in my violets which are grown in 

 frames. I have a book on violets which 

 describes hydrocyanic gas for hovises, 

 but 1 don't" know whether it will work 

 in frames, as they are so low that there 

 is not room for jars and are more open 

 than a, house, and gas is liable to es- 

 cape before spreading ovei- tJie entire 

 frame. I Iiave fifty sash in lots of ton 

 each. Would like your advice, or any 

 other remedv you may know. 



C. B. W. 



Possibly the sash is not more than 1 

 foot or 15 inches above the ground and 

 it would be very awl-cward to use the 

 gas. Still it might be done by sinking 

 the jars into tlie ground. There would, 1 

 fear, be danger of the gas being quite 

 dense near the jar and little felt at a 

 distance from it. I can't say what for- 

 mula C. B. W. has been using, but the 

 following I used last winter, which 

 destroyed the fly and did no harm 

 to the violets; Five ounces cyaniile 

 of potash, 1 cpiart sulph\iric acid. 

 1 quart water. This quantity for 

 2,000 feet of air space, and keep 

 the ventilators closed all night. The 

 formula we first gained knowledge of was 

 the above quantities for 1,000 cubic feet 

 of air, and to open the ventilators in 

 one-half hour. If you attempt to use 

 the gas in the frames where cubic air 

 space is \ery limited it would be bet- 

 ter to use but 2i ounces of the cyanide 

 and 1 pint each of the acid and water. 



If taken in time, or if you had begun 

 in early fall to dust the violets weekly 

 with Sloothoft"s tobacco dust, you would 

 have no aphis, either green, black or 

 brown, and it will go far toward killing 

 them now. Wait until the violets need 

 more water, then after the foliage is 

 dry, dust each plant and see that it is 

 evenly and lightly spread. It is of 

 course down in tlie heai-t of the plant 

 among the very young leaves and buds 

 that the mischief is done, but you must 

 not smother the plants with the tobacco 

 dust. After three days syringe the 

 plants clean, and repeat the dose of 

 dust in ten days. The tobacco dust 

 that you get from the local cigar maker 

 is not the thing. You will see in the 

 advertising columns of the Review the 

 quality you want, which I think is only 

 $2 per 100 pounds.
