IT IS THRIPS. 



I have discovered a new pest, new to 

 me at least, on chrysanthemums, stevias, 

 feverfew and farfugivm. It may be on 

 other plants, but so far is not conspicu- 

 ous. It resembles the red spider, both 

 in appearance and effect on plants. It is 

 minute, almost invisible lO the ^aked 

 eye and seems to have a filmy web like 

 the spider. The shape is longer and 

 more slender than the spider and it not 

 only runs nimbly, but squirms as it 

 crawls. It is the color of weak tea and 

 almost transparent, but without any of 

 the dark spots so characteristic of the 

 spider. I have tried washing the plants 

 with tobacco water and spraying with 

 cold water under heavy pressure, but 

 the results are not encouraging. It may 

 be something common, but it is not 

 green fly, white fly or red spider, though 

 the affected leaves look like the work of 

 the latter. It, however, does not confine 

 itself so closely to the vein ridges as 

 the spider, but roams rather freely. 



F. B.— Minn. 



According to the description of the in- 

 sect, I am of the opinion that it is 

 thrips. The best remedy I know of is 

 to spray the plants with Hammond's 

 Thrip Juice No. 2 according to direc- 

 tions. To be effective the spraying 

 must be done thoroughly, especially un- 

 derneath the foliage. M. P.
