INSURANCE— FUMIGATION. 



Replying to the inquiiy of G. H. there 

 is no llorists' mutual fire insurance com- 

 pany. One was organized a few years 

 ago, but it met with so little support 

 that it wound up its affairs after a short 

 experience. There are regular companies 

 that take risks on greenhouses and any 

 general insurance agency can tell you 

 which companies take such risks. 



Use tobacco dust on the plants in- 

 fested with the small worms. Their ap- 

 pearance might have been prevented by 

 regular fumigation, which would dis- 

 courage the presence of the miller that 

 lays the eggs fi-om which the worms are 

 hatched. The purpose of fumigation is 

 to prevent the appearance of insect pests 

 and not to kill tliem after they appear. 



Tn view of tlie amount of matter that 

 has been puljlished regarding the neces- 

 sity of regular fumigation with tobac- 

 co as a preventive, rather than a reme- 

 dial measure, it is surprising how many 

 inquire for remedies for troubles that 

 couhl have been prevented had this sim- 

 ple matter been regulaHy attended to. 

 The use of tobacco in some form regu- 

 larly and persistently as a preventive 

 measure is just as important as main- 

 taining a proper temperature or giving 

 the right amount of moisture, and fail- 

 ure to attend to it regularly will result 

 in just as much injury as neglect of the 

 other important matters. 



OREGON MUMS AND HOLLY. 



We have rcccivi-d from Messrs, Chirke 

 Bros., Portland. Oregon, some of their 

 late chrysanthemums, of which they had 

 a crop of 1.500 blooms for Christmas. 

 The varieties were Maud Dean. E. Dail- 

 ledouze and Minnie Wanamaker. and the 

 blooms were all of exhibition grade. 

 While some had been slightly frosted in 

 transit, several were in remarkably good 

 condition considering their long journey 

 from the Pacific coast. Evidently they 

 know how to put finish on their flower's 

 there as well as to develop size. 



They also send a number of sprays of 

 Oregon-grown English holly, which'they 

 say is the only kind they can sell there. 

 Tlie red berries are much larger and 

 more numerous than those on the^ Ameri- 

 can holly. 



Another interesting item was quite a 

 quantity of sprays of the ''Oregon Wild 

 Grape" ( Berberis Aquifolium. Svn. 

 Mahonia aquifolia). with its holly like 

 foliage. Messrs. Clarke write that the 

 woods are full of this berberis and that 

 it will no doubt some day l)ecnme popular 

 in the East as a Christmas green. The 

 average retail buyer would undoubtedly 

 mistake it for hollv minus the berries.
