John A. Kepner has recently added

 at Harrisburg and the store at Steel-

One of the leading seed-growing 

 concerns in Connecticut reports that 

 the volume of its business this season 

 has established a new high record, 

 and the condition is attributed to the 

 industrial depression. It is explained 

 that, for purposes of economy, a 

 great many householders are this 

 year cultivating small gardens and 

 are raising their own vegetables. 

 This policy has created a great de- 

 mand for seeds* and has impart- 

 ed unusual prosperity to the seed- 

 growing indusitry hereabouts. — Boston

FUNGICIDES. INSECTICIDES AND 

 SPRAYING. 



The Massachusetts Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station has recently issued 

 Bulletin No. 123. Fungicides, Insecti- 

 cides and Spraying Directions, giving 

 formulas for the preparation of fungi- 

 cides and insecticides with directions 

 for preventing and controlling fungous 

 dLseases and insects. Serious injury 

 from these causes is now so common 

 that the plain directions given in this 

 bulletin should prove of much value. 

 This bulletin discusses not only the 

 common crops of the field and garden, 

 but shade trees as well. It includes 

 also a brief article on the methods to 

 be adopted for the destruction of 

 weeds in mowings, cultivated fields, 

 tennis courts and walks. It will be 

 sent free to applicants, who should ad- 

 dress Massachusetts Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station, Amherst, Mass.
