HAMMOND'S THRIP JUICE No. 2 



Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y. 



Dear Sirs: After trying Thrlp Juice No. 2 for two seasdns, I can say it is the best 

 article I ever used for thrip on roses or carnations, also for white fly. The latter was 

 the worst pest we had to contend with, but after three applications, about four (4) days 

 apart, we were practically free from it. I find it is advisable to apply in the evening, and 

 with a good, strong force pump, proportion one to forty.

purchases. There was plenty of every- 

 thing with the possible exception of 

 single violets, the place of which was 

 taken by the Rhinebeck variety, and 

 orchids. There was little demand for 

 the latter and their absence from the 

 market was hardly noticed. Nor was 

 there an over supply of choice roses 

 and the crops of many of the nearby 

 growers will not mature for a week or 

 more. There was the usual advance in 

 prices, although there were plenty of 

 flowers of the cheaper grades for those 

 who wanted cheap goods. Another fea- 

 ture of the year, much commented on 

 by the store keepers, was the very few 

 street venders, for the storm made it 

 impossible for them to do business 

 and HoRTicin^TURE's correspondent saw 

 but two or three where had it had 

 been a fair day there would have been 

 probably several hundred.

SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there Is a house that U Joit 

 full of buds almost ready to show color. 

 nothing will turn better color into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can be 

 scattered over the benches before water- 

 ing. The amount applied should not be 

 excessive, as the soot Is very strong 

 and may damage some of the foliage 

 somewhat. Apply Just enough to blacken 

 the surface of the soil In the bencbee, 

 and let It go at that. Better a little 

 ofteaer than too much all at once.
