IRISH GARDENING 



"Vaporite." — A correspondent enquires as to the 

 action of vaporite in the soil. As is well known it is 

 used as a soil insecticide. While it seems to exercise a 

 killing influence upon animal life, it leaves vegetable 

 life unharmed, hence its use in the garden. There are 

 several well known substances that differentiate in this 

 way — chloroform and ether are examples. In certain 

 quantities they kill the more active breathing animals, 

 while plants submitted to the same action merely 

 pass into a sleep or dormant condition. If continued 

 long enough, however, the plant may cease to live. 

 The safety in their use lies in the fact that they are 

 volatile substances. V'aporite, as its name implies, 

 passes off in the gaseous state into the air after killing 

 off whatever insect life there mav be in the soil.
