THE EASTERN STATES EXPOSI 

 TION. 



The Maryland Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station, College Park, Md., has 

 issued a Bulletin (No. 208). by 

 Philip Carman, describing a bad ])eM 

 of Geraniums— Tarsonemus Pallidus 

 Banks. The mite which bears this 

 formidable cognomen was first noticed 

 in .America in 1898. on chrysanthe- 

 mums and it is since reported as in- 

 festing not only geraniums but cycla- 

 men and snapdragon. The bulletin 

 just published gives the life history 

 of the mite, describes the nature of 

 the injury it causes and recommends 

 methods of control. Illustrations are 

 given and anyone growing any of the 

 aforementioned plants would do well 

 to send for a copy of the Bulletin.

Two new books for boys have been 

 added by the Page Company, Boston, 

 to their popular "Little Cousins of 

 Long Ago Series." making number 

 nine and number ten of the series. 

 "Our Little Frankish Cousins of Long 

 Ago." by Evaleen Stein, and "Our 

 Little Roumanian Cousin," by Clara 

 Vostrovsky Winlow, are worthy addi- 

 tions to the list and the last named 

 is obviously of special timely interest. 

 Historical facts are interwoven in a 

 very fascinating manner with advent- 

 ure, pathos and romance so that use- 

 f\il knowledge as well as entertainment 

 is assured for the reader. The vol- 

 umes are in special reinforced library 

 binding, handsomely illustrated and 

 are published at the uniform price of

The fact that the big Eastern States 

 Exposition at Springfield, Mass., has 

 recognized the Importance ot the flor- 

 ists' trade and has allotted a section 

 ot the already over-crowded Horticul- 

 tural Building to trade exhibits, 

 should be sullklcnt stimulus to tho 

 flower and allied trades to make a 

 grand showing at the Inception ot 

 this feature. The future of such a 

 flower show depends upon Its success 

 this season. 



The Society of American Florists 

 has taken an important step In the 

 right direction in their initiation of a 

 nation-wide advertising campaign. 

 This new step by the Exposition man- 

 agement Is also one In the right direc- 

 tion. It means that flowers will be 

 brought before the public as never be- 

 fore and Is a tremendous boost to the 

 floral Industry. The show last year 

 registered 297,000 visitors. Many 

 more are expected this year. It be- 

 gins October 12 and closes October 

 20th. All communications, applica- 

 tions for space, etc., should be ad- 

 dressed to C. E. Wlldon, 244 Main St.. 

 Room 209, Springfield, Mass.
