enter the soil through the drainage 

 holes of the pots and eat out the main 

 fltalk of the root, killing the plant 

 <|uickly. 



The volatile liquid carbon bisulphide 

 can be used to kill white ants in the 

 soil if moist and not compact, if small 

 holes be made near the infested plants 

 and a small quantity of carbon bisul- 

 phide poured in and the hole immedi- 

 ately closed tightly with earth. Care 

 should be taken in handling this inflam- 

 mable and explosive fluid, and the 

 fumes should not be inhaled. 



In the experiments conducted by Mr. 

 Borden, in the Department of Agricul- 

 ture at Washington, an effective con- 

 trol was found in the use of a five per 

 cent kerosene-emulsion solution. In 

 case the benches can not be replaced 

 immediately on account of a certain 

 crop, it has been found practical to 

 soak the ashes or sand under the pots 

 and the infested benches thoroughly 

 with this solution. This may be done 

 by removing the potted plants from a 

 section of the bench, spraying that sec- 

 tion, and moving the pots on the bench 

 up to cover the treated area, thus ex- 

 posing another section to be treated. 

 Potted heliotropes and geraniums have 

 been treated directly with the five per 

 cent kerosene-emulsion solution without 

 injury to the plants and the white ants 

 in the soil of the pots were killed. This 

 treatment should be given late in the 

 afternoon and followed early next morn- 

 ing with a thorough syringing with 

 water to wash the surplus oil out of 

 the soil. It is important also to re- 

 move all infested pots promptly from 

 the bench as soon as they are notiood 

 and to destroy the white ants with 

 kerosene emulsion. 



The removal of decayed infested 

 woodwork in greenhouses will prevent 

 the plants from becoming infested in 

 turn. 



Manistee, Mich. — .Joseph Clark son 

 and his greenhouse display of mums, 

 •callas, cyclamens and primroses recent- 

 ly came in for lengthy comment in the 

 Manistee press. As free write-ups 

 sometimes are almost as effective as 

 paid display space, it is surprising that 

 more florists do not invite the inspired 

 tiews reporter around once in a while.
