After the last bag has been disposed 

 of, leave the greenhouse immediately 

 and close and lock the door. 



"Sth — After the fumigation has gone 

 on the desired length of time, thor- 

 oughly air the house for at least Vi 

 an hour before entering. 



"9th — Take out the containers, keep- 

 ing face averted so as not to breathe 

 the odor which comes from them, and 

 bury the contents in the ground. 



"10th — Wash out the containers with 

 clear water and use for no other pur- 

 pose. As soon as the cyanide comes 

 In contact with the acid and water, 

 the gas starts to come off, and by 

 using many containers or generators a 

 quicker distribution of the gas is as- 

 sured. 



"Caution. — Potassium cyanide is a 

 deadly poison when taken internally, 

 and the gas generated by the addition 

 of cyanide to sulphuric acid is also a 

 deadly poison when inhaled. As a re- 

 sult, one should use extreme care in 

 handling these materials. With prop- 

 er precautions and care there is no 

 danger. No matter how familiar one 

 is with fumigation, it will not pay to 

 become careless."

Bayard Thayer 

 Just as HouTici'LTUKE goes to press

 tron of horticulture and owner of one

 useful and liberal in behalf of Ameri-

 shock.

TWO NEW ROSES OF HIGH DE- 

 GREE. 



We saw two of C. H. Totty's new 

 rose pets in the wholesale market re- 

 cently and were greatly impressed 

 with their beauty and other splendid 

 qualities as forcing roses. "Cleve- 

 land" has foliage of unrivalled thick- 

 ness and lustre and the color is the 

 purest of pure, the pink merging into 

 luminous orange at the base of the 

 petals and it has been demonstrated 

 that this variety holds its color per- 

 sistently all through the hot weather. 

 Nellie Parker is a companion novelty 

 also raised by Dickson. Its color is 

 a soft Daybreak, a tint rarely found 

 in roses.
