aphis, but I hesitate to recommend its 

 use to you on account of its deadly na- 

 ture. I would suggest that you try 

 fumigating with Nico-Fume paper or 

 even tobacco dust. Either of these will 

 kill green aphis. The tobacco dust can 

 be placed in tin pans or even in small 

 heaps on the paths and can be started 

 with a red-hot cinder or a little kero- 

 sene. A mild fumigation once in ten 

 days when you are growing lettuce 

 will keep the plants clean. You should 

 not allow aphis to get such a foothold 

 as yours appear to have done. C. W.

Somersworth, N. H. 



Lamar, Colo.— The Lamar Greenhouse 

 Co., Roy White, manager, has completed 

 a new house 24x110 as a means of taking 

 care of its steadily increasing business. 

 The year closed December 1 was the 

 most successful the corporation has yet 

 had. The resources have been increased 

 from $4,000 a year ago to $7,200 now, 

 with no appreciable increase of current 

 liabilities. The principal difficulty now 

 is to get stock.
