HAMMOND'S THRIP JUICE No. 2 



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



Dear Sirs: After trying Thrip Juice No. 2 for two seasons, I can say It Is the best 

 article I ever used for thrlp 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 

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

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. 



Over 2,600 people attended the third 

 annual exhibition of floral arrange- 

 ments, given by the class in floral 

 decoration, assisted by Miss Emily 

 Dorner, of Lafayette, Ind., on Sunday 

 afternoon, April 18, in the Floricul- 

 tural building. Most of the visitors 

 were students and faculty members, 

 but both Urbana and Champaign were 

 well represented. A better day could 

 not have been chosen, as the weather 

 was ideal. 



It is difficult to say which display 

 was admired most, as nearly all ol 

 them were equally good, and the opin- 

 ion of the people seemed to vary. Per- 

 haps the most attention was attracted 

 by the different table decorations, wed- 

 ding bouquets and corsage bouquets, 

 as these seemed to be of special inter- 

 est to the ladies. In connection with 

 the wedding bouquets was staged a 

 large doll dressed as a bride and car- 

 rying a bouquet of valley. This was 

 an entirely new feature and was very 

 attractive. Besides this there were 

 many funeral designs, plant baskets, 

 flower baskets, box and vase arrange- 

 ments. Favorable comments were heard 

 from nearly every one and it is safe 

 to say that not a person regretted hav- 

 ing come out to see tlie display.

SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there is a house that is Jnst 

 full of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can he 

 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 benches, 

 .■jnfl let it go at that. Better a little 

 ofte.Ter than too much all at once.
