ScotcK Soot 



Where there is a hoase that is Just 

 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.

W. N. Craig writes in Florists' Review 

 (March Sth, 1914) : "Scale on greenhouse 

 plants is not easy to get rid of, as doses 

 which are sufHeiently strong to kill the 

 scale will usually disfigure the plants at 

 the same time. I have found APHINE a 

 first-class remedy for scale, and if yo» 

 will apply it according to directions yoo 

 will lilll and loosen the scales, although 

 they win not fall off, as will some other 

 pests." 



It will only require the hose to wash off 

 dead scale.
