the remedy I used successful

some time ago. 1 had u Kood crop of Sow Huns In my 



farnntlon bouse and asked Mr. lienjamln Hammond, of 



Uoacon. N. Y., for a good exterminator. Mr. Hammond 

 recommended one of his preparations— SLUG SHOT— and told me to 

 dust It between the plants, under Oie benches and along the walks. I 

 did so and the results were gratifying. The bugs were cleaned out 

 In short order, and I certainly reconmend SLVG SHOT to every Florist 

 who finds these bugs in hla houses. ALPA'ANDEU A. LAUH. Florist

This book, just out. places the gar- 

 den cullurist. whether professional or 

 amateur, under still greater obligation 

 to its painstaking author who has 

 already many friends among our read- 

 ers for his previously introduced 

 works on practical horticultural 

 topics. It comes out at a time when 

 the American people are beginning to 

 take a very deep interest in gardening 

 work and there is no part oil that in-

duslry on which belter education is 

 needed than that of pruning. Defec- 

 tive pruning is seen everywhere, un- 

 fortunately, and the lack of knowl- 

 edge thus manifested is not con- 

 fined to the amateur. Indeed there is 

 much yet to be investigated — plenty 

 to be learned and verified and plenty 

 to be disproved, of the old rule of 

 thumb methods which are slavishly 

 followed by even so-called experts. 

 The a\ithor, who has spent many 

 years in conscientious study and re- 

 search has lieen able in this lucid 

 volume to clear up many confused 

 points with convincing accuracy and 

 has given us a book of rare educa- 

 tional value. Printed on fine coated 

 paper. Its illustrations, of which there 

 are over four hundred pen and ink 

 sketches and photographic reproduc- 

 tions, are brought out with great 

 clearness of detail and add much to 

 the value and attractiveness of the 

 book. Further description of the con- 

 tents, etc., will be found in the adver- 

 tisement on another page of this 

 paper and we predict a large demand.

The following pledge to the National 

 Food Administrator adopted by the 

 Iowa nurserymen at their meeting 

 in Des Moines last month strikes tis 

 as sensible and patriotic; 



"Heaolved. That we nursprymon in I'fui- 

 tert-nce asHemblcd tender our scTvlrt'S 

 KiiUuitoiisly to the owners of fruit tni's 

 ivirywhcre In the matter of Instruetlnn 

 for the immi'cllate rejuvenation of liarnii 

 :intl iinder-iiroductlve trees to make them 

 fully produetlve. We urge the agrloultural 

 folleKes antl nnrserynien everywhere anil 

 whirever posRllile to Increase the produc- 

 tion of fruit as food from present orchards 

 for the winning of Americii's war. 



"We respiM'Ifully suggest that the Na- 

 tional and State food administrators In 

 elude in nil their propaganda for Increased 

 food production this apltatlon and admo- 

 nition to spray, prune, cultivate, fertilize 

 and otherwise so handle as to bring into 

 fail and immediate production all orchards 

 and fruit trees of whatever kind or whcr 

 evt'r located. 



"We respectfully suggest that this reso- 

 lution be given wide and general dlsseml 

 nation by all food administrators, publica- 

 tions and other interests working for the 

 winning of the war."
