GREEN FLY TIME 



is now htTe. . Even the forest trees around our gardens are 

 covered with this pest. What are you doing about it? 

 Figlitinsj; the green tly for the past few years has been a 

 continuous performance and an expensive one with the 

 ordinary spraying devices. 



A BAKRIE SOAP SPRAYER screwed to your faucet and 

 a few pounds of fish oil soap solves this problem without 

 further expense or labor. This is but one of its many 

 uses. It is equally valuable in the greenhouse.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



The Year Book of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture for 1914 

 has come to hand from the secretary 

 at Washington. It contains illustrated 

 reports from the different Bureaus and 

 Divisions subsidiary to the Depart- 

 ment, and comprises 716 pages. The 

 plates, of which there are over fifty 

 in addition to an equal number of text 

 figures, are excellent. With the ex- 

 ception of some four pages regarding 

 the work of the Bureau of Plant In- 

 dustry we find nothing in the book 

 directly touching on horticulture. 



The Well-Considered Flower Garden, 

 by Mrs. Francis King. This new book 

 has just been put out by the publishing 

 house of Charles Scribner's Sons. The 

 name of the author is not unfamiliar 

 to most of our readers and her 

 measureless enthusiasm in flower gar- 

 dening has been widely recognized as 

 an effective agency in arousing, espe- 

 cially air.ong the amateur classes, a 

 livelier interest in floral planting and 

 arrangement. There can be no ques- 

 tion that the good influence exerted 

 by Mrs. King will be greatly increased 

 through the wide distribution which 

 this book will receive. The author has 

 a graceful style and is so deeply in 

 love with her subject that what she 

 has to say is sure to find a ready read- 

 ing and willing response. 



Mrs. King is an apostle, first, last 

 and always, of the art of color arrange- 

 ment and harmony. Color, to her, is 

 the fundamental in garden planning. 

 That is the shrine at which she wor- 

 ships, and all through the book she 

 strays not from her theme. In such 

 a personality the magic of the hybrid- 

 izer finds a zealous votary and the 

 vast store of material of garden 

 origin is eagerly drawn upon in the 

 subtle color combinations and effects 

 which she has worked out. There is a 

 chapter in grouping and massing and 

 the growing of companion crops for 

 this purpose. The chapter on succes- 

 sive crops is rich in practical sugges- 

 tion. Except as incidentally referred 

 to in their place as a background for 

 certain floral pictures, trees and

Thirty-Second Annual Report of the 

 Board of Park Commissioners, Minne-

 model in its class. Concise and yet 

 complete to the smallest detail it is 

 most creditable to that forceful inde- 

 fatigable leader in park work in

 of wliich Mr. Wirth's own report fills 

 87 paf;es. There are thirty-lour lull 

 page views of rare beauty and eight 

 elaborate diagrams and maps of play 

 grounds and park lay-out. A striking 

 portrait of President Thomas Voegeli 

 of the Park Board is used as frontis- 

 piece. Typographically the book leaves 

 nothing to be desired.

SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there Is a house that Is ]ait 

 full of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color Into tbe 

 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 benches, 

 and let it go at that. Better a little 

 oftener than too mncb all at once. 



We offer the genuine In origrlnal cwt.

$4.00 per 112 lbs.; $17.60 per 5«0 lbs.
