SOW BUGS versus SLUG SHOT 



After roadlng the article headed 

 "An Army of Sow DugB," In the 

 Review for May 10, It occurred 

 to me that the growers whose 

 stocks have been attacked by 

 Sow Hugs might be Interested In 

 tlie remedy I used successful- 

 ly In exterminating these pests 



some time ago. I had a good crop of Sow Hugs In my 

 Carnation house and asked Mr. Henjamln Hammond, of 

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

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

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

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

 In short order, and I certainly recommend SLUG SHOT to every Florist 

 who flnds these bugs in his house!. ALEXANDER A. LAUB, Florist.

111 tlie good results obtained during 

 these hours. It Is the desire of many 

 of the growers to petition the Board 

 of Directors of both markets to con- 

 tinue opening at 7 a. m. and closing 

 at 4 p. m. However, the market is to 

 be open from six to seven in the morn- 

 ing to the growers or their shipments 

 of goods — the doors to remain closed 

 to the trade until 7 o'clock. This 

 seems advisable because the grower 

 and the salesman will have an oppor- 

 tunity to nil his orders for the day 

 and also it gives him ample time to 

 arrange his flowers in a salable condi- 

 tion. There are at the present time 

 in the Co-operative Flower Market a 

 list of fifty growers, in the Flower Ex- 

 change thirty growers, making a total 

 of eighty, who are interested and in 

 favor of this change. It is, however, 

 necessary, in order that any action 

 may be taken by the Board of Direct- 

 ors, to have at least a majority in 

 favor, and to that end the committee 

 of growers are working industriously.
