REMEDY FOR CUTWORMS. 



When cutworms are foimd to be 

 abundant, the use of poisoned bait is 

 recommended. This may be prepared 

 as follows: Mix fifty pounds of wheat 

 bran, two pounds of Paris green, and 

 six finely chopped oranges or lemons. 

 Then bring the whole mixture to the 

 consistency of a stiff dough by the ad- 

 dition of a cheap molasses, such as is 

 used in cattle rations, adding water 

 when necessary. Distribute this bait 

 over the infested field in small lumps. 

 In case bran can not be readily ob- 

 tained, middlings or alfalfa meal may 

 be successfully substituted. During the 

 warmer spring months cutworms do 

 most of their feeding at night and 

 burrow into the soil to the depth of an 

 inch or two during the day, so that the 

 bait will usually be more effective if 

 applied during the late afternoon or 

 early evening hours. 



Frequently cutworms migrate to cul- 

 tivated fields from adjoining grassland, 



and in such cases the crops can be pro- 

 tected by running a narrow band of 

 the poisoned bait around the edge of 

 the field or along the side nearest the 

 source of infestation. 



PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



["Plant P-opagation; (Jteenhonse aad Nursery 

 Practice," by M. G. Kalns, professor of horticul- 

 ture at Pennsylvania State College. Published 

 by the Orange Judd Co., New York. Sise, 6%x7% 

 inches- 342 pages; fully illustrated. Price, bound 

 in cloth, $1.50 net.] 



This book will be useful to both nur- 

 serymen and florists, but especially to 

 nurserymen. Within the scope of its 

 purpose it is a most excellent work, 

 deserving unstinted praise. And that 

 statement does not imply that the scope 

 of the book is narrow. But every book 

 must have its limitations, such limita- 

 tions as are imposed by lack of space 

 and by the directness or singleness of 

 the author's aim. If an author has in 

 mind a specific, clearly defined theme 

 or succession of ideas, which he wishes 

 to treat as completely and intelligibly 

 as possible within the bounds of the 

 book's 300 or 400 pages, he should not 

 be blamed for excluding from the dis- 

 cussion anything which would hinder 

 him too greatly in the attainment of 

 his object. 



Let it be distinctly understood, then, 

 that if a florist wishes to find a com- 

 prehensive, detailed description of the 

 propagation of carnations, or chrysan- 

 themums, or other greenhouse plants, he 

 must look elsewhere than in this vol- 

 ume. If, however, he wants clear en- 

 lightenment on the general subject of 

 plant propagation — propagation by 

 seeds, buds, layers, cuttings, grafts or 

 otherwise; if he wants both a practi- 

 cal and scientific explanation of the 

 fundamental principles which underlie 

 all the processes of propagating, then 

 he will obtain what he wants in this 

 book. Moreover, the systematic body 

 of facts gathered from this book will 

 form a good basis for the carnation 

 grower's, or rose grower's, knowledge 

 of his own special plant. 



In other words, the light from this 

 book will illuminate the entire subject 

 of propagation, the whole field of oper- 

 ations, guiding the propagator aright 

 and preventing many mistakes which 

 he would be likely to make if groping 

 in the darkness. 



The book is written in textbook form, 

 with a textbook's logically progressive 

 development of the subject, and the 

 reader may either peruse it from cover 

 to cover in regular student fashion, or 

 select what he wants from it by means 

 of the indexes or in other ways. How- 

 ever, the book has none of the dry-as- 

 dust abstruseness which is supposed to 

 be the main constituent of many text- 

 books. 



In describing the various methods of 

 propagation, the author usually haa 

 found it convenient to apply his re- 

 marks to nursery stock rather than to 

 distinctively florists' stock. Hence, as 

 already stated, the book will be espe- 

 cially helpful to nurserymen, forming 

 for them almost a complete working 

 handbook.
