SPRAY FOR PEAR LEAF WORM. 



The pear leaf worm, an insect which 

 does considerable damage to pear or- 

 chards, especially on the Pacific coast, is 

 easily controlled by spraying. A con- 

 tact spray is usually effective in con- 

 trolling the insect in the larval stage, 

 and should be applied when the blossom- 

 ing period is about over and two-thirds 

 of the petals have fallen. The following 

 formula for a contact spray is given in 

 a new professional paper of the bureau 

 of entomology, U. S. Department of Ag- 

 riculture: Fish-oil soap, one pound; 

 water, twenty-five gallons; nicotine 

 sulphate (forty per cent concentrate), 

 one part to 1,200 parts of the spray. 

 When the infestation is severe and 

 promises destruction of the foliage, a 

 poison spray made of four pounds of 

 lead arsenate to 100 gallons of water 

 should be used. The best time for ap- 

 plying this is when the holes in the 

 leaves are not larger than one half inch 

 in diameter. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 

 The report from almost everyone is 

 that business is heavy. Lent has not 

 been thought of or noticed in the least, 

 as the market is cleaned up every day 

 in all kinds of flowers, with the excep- 

 tion of sweet peas of the lower grades. 

 This year there were almost twice as 

 many grown. The better grades hold 

 well in price. American Beauties have 

 increased in supply and the prices are

lower. All other roses are bringing fair 

 prices. The demand is heavy, but the 

 supply is large enough to meet it. The 

 carnation supply is large, but is cleaned 

 up easily by reason of much funeral 

 work. The bulbous stock is the best 



ever seen here, especially tulips and 

 jonquils. A great many Darwin tulips 

 meet with an exceptionally good safe. 

 Lilies are more plentiful. Greens of 

 all kinds continue scarce and are not 

 good in some lines.
