AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY. 



The A'ariety Prosperity is offered for 

 registration by Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, 

 N. Y. If no objections arc filed with 

 the committee, requiring the withdrawal 

 of the name, the registration will be- 

 come complete January 30, 1917. The 

 following is a description: 



The plant is tall, most striking and attractive. 

 Its massive proportions, hrond, lieavy foliage of 

 a rich green, erect and vigorous habit of growth, 

 give evidence of a strong constitution. Tlie 

 shading to niadder-liikn except the Inst segment, 

 flowers are largo. The color is a bright rose, 

 whicli lias a chamois-yellow base. Anthers vio- 

 let; styles white. Unsurpassed as a keeper.

WHITE FLY AND MEALY BUG. 



AVliat can \vc use to kill Avhite fly in 

 our plant house? On our colous plants, 

 also, there is an insect which looks like 

 a large white aphis. What can we use 

 to kill it? W. H. G.— O. 



For tlie white fly use one pint of some 

 reliable brand of forty per cent nicotine 

 solution in scAenty-five gallons of water, 

 adding three or four pounds of fish oil 

 or laundry soap. Apply this when the 

 morning temperature has been allowed 

 to drop to 50 degrees. Use a fine nozzle. 

 After thoroughly spraying one of the 

 beds, go over it again at once, thus 

 reaching any of tlie insects AA'hich were 

 not touched by the first ajiplication. The 

 second spraying will generally be more 

 effectiAe than the first one, as the in- 

 sects on the under side of the leaves 

 will have been disturbed by the first 

 spraying and many of them Avill now be 

 found on the upper side of the leaves. 



The insect on the coleus is most likely 

 the mealy bug. For destroying this in- 

 sect the same remedy should be used as 

 for the white fly, but an angle nozzle 

 will be desirable, since the insects are 

 generally on the under side of the leaA'es 

 or clustered at the nodes of the stems. 

 When large plants are badly infested, it 

 is a good plan to dip the tops of the 

 plants in the solution, as it is diflSeult 

 to reach the insects with a spray. T.

EiNDLT disGODtinae our classified ad of 

 gladiolus bulbs; we are swamped with 

 orders. — Q. D. Black, Independence, la. 



This range of Jacobs greenhouses 

 is now in course of erection for 

 Mr. J. Insley Blair at Tuxedo, 

 N. Y. They are without a doubt 

 the "last word" in greenhouse 

 construction. 



The plans, which contained all 

 manner of modern improvements 

 and scientific arrangement*, were 

 drawn by the internationally fa- 

 mous architects, Carrere & Has- 

 tings, who, after thoroughly ex- 

 amining practically every style J 

 of construction in their search g 

 for the absolute maximum of ef- H 

 flciency, placed their plans and S 

 construction contracts with us. B
