A PEST CONQUERED. 



It has been demonstrated at tlie 

 Arnold Arboretum that the abomin- 

 able pest known as the lace fiy. which 

 has defaced and done .so much injury 

 to the rhododendrons within the past 

 few years, can be successfully coin- 

 batted with a few sprayings of Imp 

 soap solution on the underside of the 

 foliage. This insect first made its ap- 

 pearance on Rhododendron maximum, 

 but soon spread its depredations to 

 the hybrids and the Kalmias and has 

 been known to attack hawthorns and 

 other shrubs growing in association 

 with the rhododendrons. Whale oil 

 soap has been used, but Imp soap Is 

 said to be better. (

Where there Is a house that Is jvat 

 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 benches, 

 and let It go at that. Better a little 

 oftener than too much all at once.
