KELWAY'S famous Hardy 

 Herbaceous Plants are modern 

 developments of the old English 

 favourites. The cottage "Piny 

 Rose " has become the Paeony, 

 incomparable in form, colour and fra- 

 grance. 1 he old-fashioned Larkspur 

 has developed into the stately blooms of 

 the Delphiniums ; Gaillar- 

 dias, Pyrethrums and the 

 rest, all serve to bring back 

 the charm of the old-world 

 English garden. Special 

 care is taken in .packing 

 plants to arrive in Canada 

 in good order, and they can 

 . ^^—^ .j... be relied upon to thrive with 

 fM^\X a minimum of attention.

San Jose Scale in Nova Scotia 



The Nova Scotia Department of .^gricul- 

 ture is leavin.g no stone unturned In the ef- 

 fort to stamp out San Jose scale, which has 

 made its appearance in the province. This 

 pest was first discovered in the .Annapolis 

 Valley in the spring of IMS by G. E. Saun- 

 ders, who was then in charge of the Brown 

 Tail Moth in'-pectior work. The scale was 

 found on trees tha» had been planted at 

 Aylesford the previous year. 



Steps were immediately taken to ascer- 

 tain the extent of the intection. It was 

 found that the pest had been introduced 

 in many localities. Inspectors were imme- 

 diately sent out with authority to destroy 

 all infested trees. During the year one 

 hundred and fifty thousand trees were in- 

 spected on over sevfnteen hundred proper- 

 ties, and seven hundred and twenty-three 

 trees were destroyed. 



This season the inspection work was 

 continued and it is hoped that all infested 

 stock was located. Legislation has been 

 enacted making it imperative that all in- 

 fested stock be either destroyed or shipped 

 out of the country. All nursery stock com- 

 ing into the province must bear a certific.Tte 

 of inspection, stating that the nursery 

 in which the crop was grown had been in- 

 spected "the previous year and found free ol 

 all injurious pests and diseases. All suet 

 stock must be shipped by Digby or Truro 

 where it is inspected and fumi.gated. 



Concentrated lime sulphur, applied befort 

 the buds open m the spring, is the bes' 

 known remedy. Concentrated kerosint 

 emulsion is also effective on dormant trees 

 and a diluted solution can be applied :c 

 the trees when the lice hatch during th« 

 summer. The females do not lay eggs 

 the young being produced alive. It is es- 

 timated that each female will produce foui 

 hundred living young in a single season.
