should be started as soon as the 

 plauts are up and continued through- 

 out tne season. The fields should be 

 gone over repeatedly throughout the 

 season, especially previous to the be- 

 ginning of picking, and all mosaii' 

 diseased plants pulled and destroyed. 

 as well as plants with which they 

 liave come in contact. Owing to the 

 fact that greenhouse conditions are 

 much more completely under control 

 than field conditions, it would seem 

 an easier task to control the disease 

 -there. As previously stated for field 

 control, all diseased plants should be 

 pulled and destroyed as soon as 

 found and the insects should be eradi- 

 cated to prevent their spreading the 

 disease. 



In pastures where there are only a 

 few clusters, the same treatment 

 recommended for lawns is the most 

 advisable. WTien the pastures are 

 badly infested, however, and cultiva- 

 tio-? ;s practical, it Is oiten more satis- 

 factory to plow and cultivate as 

 recommended for cultivated fields. 

 Pasturing with sheep sometimes 

 proves effective. — Weekly Netvs Let-

 self to graceful sweeping lines and yet permits great strength 

 without the need of heavy shadow-casting supports. 



In a King the plants get all the sunlight all day 

 long, so it's easy to. produce a growth and bloom fairly 

 tropical in luxuriance. 



When you write for Bulletin No. 47 tell us what 

 you have in mind and let our experts show you how 

 artistic a greenhouse really can be. We will work your 

 ideas mto a practical sunny King Greenhouse which 

 will in itself be the beauty spot of your garden.

At the estate of Walter Hunnewell 

 in Wellesley, Mass., the old green- 

 houses are being replaced by a range 

 of modern steel, curved-eave houses 

 to be erected by the King Construc- 

 tion Co., consisting of palm house 

 25 X 60 ft., orchid house 25 x 60 ft., 

 carnation house 25 x 60 ft., plant house 

 25 X 60 ft., grapery 25 x 60 ft., each 

 house being divided into two compart- 

 ments. The range is to be novel in 

 that instead of the usual way of hav- 

 ing the growing houses "valley" into 

 the palm house they are to be con- 

 nected with the palm house by small 

 passages, and the palm house in turn 

 is connected with the potting shed by 

 means of a passage 12 x 16 ft., which 

 will be used for propagating. Patten 

 & Co., Tewksbury, Mass., have placed 

 an order for the erection of a King 

 house 42x200 ft., iron-frame. James
