 The hollyhock disease has been one 

 of the niosl difficult pests to control 

 in the entire list of garden troubles. 

 Many growers succeed by persistent 

 use of Bordeau.x mixture but they in- 

 sist upon earlij (na tin in I — even before 

 the rust appears, lii addition all in- 

 fected foliage is jiromptly burned. 

 Ammonaical carbonate of copper has 

 been successfully used by some and is 

 preferred to the Bordeaux as less dis- 

 figuring to the plants. We would sug- 

 gest a trial of Fungine if this has not 

 been alread\ tried. Many growers 

 now make a practice of growing their 

 hollyhocks annually from seed. — (Ed.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



I'laiil l'r<i|i;if;al inn. Cni iiluiiise and 

 Nursery Hraclice. by .\1. G. Kains of 

 State College. Pa.. Published by Or- 

 ange Judd Company. .New York. We 

 have had many iniiiiiries from lime to 

 time for a reliable and up-to-date book 

 on plant propagation, but were always 

 at a loss to lind any publication that 

 we could recommend. The subject 

 has been dealt with in fragmentary 

 manner only in books that have come 

 to our notice. So it is well that this 

 new work has been issued, especially 

 as it is both comprehensible and prac- 

 tical, and it should meet with a ready 

 sale among plantsmen, nurserymen 

 and gardeners. There are nineteen 

 chapters covering in detail topics of 

 germination aud longevity of seeds, 

 propagation by buds. layering, cut- 

 tings, grafting, etc.. fruit tree stocks, 

 cions, etc., and there are eight pages 

 of condensed cultural instructions in 

 tabulated form, covering annuals and 

 perennials from seed, woody plants, 

 evergreens, vines, bulbs and tubers, 

 greenhouse and house plants, ferns, 

 palms, water plants, orchids and cacti. 

 The illustrations are numerous, com- 

 prising 213 figures and halftone plates. 

 There are T>2 pages well bound and 

 on heavy paper, teeming with helpful 

 information. It is a book which no 

 cultivator can afford to do without. 

 It is worth many times its price. Cop- 

 ies can be supplied from the office of 

 HoR-nCTi.TVRK at publisher's price, 

 $1.50.

Cannibal Plant Sighs for Forbidden

Whisper It, sn the S. P. C. A. won't hear! 

 The rarnlvorous plant from Borneo, whleli 

 will be liroHclit from Orange. N. .T.. to tl"' 

 ricnver Show on April 5. lias started 

 eatchinir flies again. If it doesn't pel fed 

 up before tlie show opens at the Graiul 

 Central Palace the manacement will have 

 to bave its meals sent In from some neigh- 

 boring restaur.int. 



For la.st year, while the vegetable gour- 

 mand was starring at the show, it devel- , 

 oped a voracious appetite. Plies and ii.os- 

 qnitoes. and insects of nil sorts, were 

 devoured. It bCBged piteously for a 

 mouse, but before the manapement could 

 ' catch one a representative of the Society 

 I for the Prevention of Cruelly to .\niinils 

 appeared and warned them to put Ihe 

 plant on a starvation diet. 



Latest dispatches from Orange announce 

 that the hungry bit of vegetation has Just I 

 consumed five flies and two mosquitoes. 

 At the show this year it will get nothing 

 more exciting than ham-and.
