CHICKWEED IN LAWN. 



Under separate cover I am mailing 

 a weed that has been springing up in the 

 lawns around town and ruining them. 

 Some people here call it chickweed, but 

 to me it looks more like a weed that 

 would be found in or around water. I 

 maintain that it comes through the 

 water mains, as all the water we use 

 around here is collected during the 

 rainy season and stored in reservoirs 

 in the mountains. Am I right in my 

 deduction? What would be the best 

 way to fight the weed? Will you 

 kindly give me the names of one or 

 two good books on landscape gar- 

 dening? M. C. E.— Cal. 



When the specimen reached me it 

 was dry and in a damaged condition, 

 making accurate determination diflEicult 

 if not impossible. However, the plant 

 is evidently a mouse-eared chickweed, 

 and probably is Cerastium vulgatum, 

 which is quite generally distributed 

 over the country. 



When a lawn is compoised of true 

 grasses or other monocotyledonous 

 plants, it will be possible to destroy 

 chickweed and similar dicotyledonous 

 plants by spraying with sulphate of 

 iron, green vitriol, used at the rate 

 of twenty pounds to twelve gallons of 

 water. This should be applied as a fine 

 spray, using a spray pump which will 

 furnish considerable pressure. Care 

 should be taken that only such plants 

 as are monocotyledonous are in the mix- 

 ture making up the lawn proper, as all 

 other plants would be injured by the 

 spray. 



As to books on landscape gardening. 

 Prof. F. A. Waugh has written two 

 works on the subject. One of them, en- 

 entitled "The Landscape Beautiful," 

 contains 336 pages, with forty-nine full- 

 page engravings, and is priced at $2. 

 The other, named ""Landscape Garden- 

 ing," contains 152 pages, illustrated, 

 and is sold for 50 cents. Either book 

 will "be sent postpaid by The Eeview on 

 receipt of the price. T. 



Kennydale, Wash.— W. W. Way, 

 whose place is known as Waycroft Gar- 

 dens, has been in trouble this season 

 because of a newly established creosote 

 refining works in the vicinity; the fumes 

 are thick, yellow, pungent and do great 

 damage to stock. He has lost all his 

 sweet peas as the result of the opera- 

 tions of the new neighbor.

Pays 



To 



Pacific Coast 



Florists : 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



Say I That ad's a btmidlnrer for getting tlit 

 busineu.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mom cattlngs advertised, and yon 

 will not hear from me again until I can get loms 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100,000 Carnation 

 cuttings for next season, as I know The Bevlew 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wilhelm, Los Aa- 

 geles. Cal. 



Please cut oat of onr advertisement In The Rs- 

 view the cyclamen geedlings. We sold all oar 

 sarplas cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 oar advertisement in year paper.— Spokans 

 Qreenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement In 

 The Keview brought us orders from both the At- 

 Jantic and Pacific coasts. We bad, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Oo.. 

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising In the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold ont clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review sorely gives results. 

 —Van Slyke <& Seamons, Tacoma, Wash. 



The transient rate for space 

 is $1 per inch per insertion. 

 Those who have stock to offer

 the year around should write 

 for contract rates.
