the state of Pennsylvania, and to de- 

 stroy it. The result of the investiga- 

 tion made so far leads to the belief 

 that frequent light af)})lioations of wood 

 Jislies and tobacco dust, applied alter- 

 nately at regular intervals to the soil, 

 will destroy the larvae of the beetle. 

 The spring months are tlie proper time 

 fir this treatment. Mr. Chambers gives 

 ■111 example of two rose houses in the 

 -^.iine place. The soil in one of these 

 houses was treated in this way; the soil 

 m the other was not treated at all. Both 

 houses were replanted this summer. The 

 soil in the house treated as described 

 was almost free from maggots when 

 '•iken out; the soil in the house that 

 ''■"I not been treated was full of mag- 

 -rots when the house was emptied. Ar- 

 -^'■nate of lead is advised for fighting the 

 '"■•'tie during the fall.

ready. Everything has been gone over 

 carefully and thoroughly and everything 

 is in readiness. The last thing was the 

 brickwork around the boilers. The 

 bricklayer proved, alas, to be a faithful 

 promiser, so .Toseph S. Myers pitched in 

 and did it liiniself with the firm's own 

 men. Arches and side lining of fire 

 bricks are safe now. 



The time, September 1, is most criti- 

 cal in the rose houses. Firing is about 

 to commence. Cool, damp nights have 

 been here for some time. It takes skill 

 of no mean degree to keep the roses 

 healthy, especially those which are 

 bushy and growing freely. American 

 Beauties are the principal crop and the 

 Beauty houses were emptied, cleaned, 

 filled and planted several months ago. 

 Flowers have been cut from the early 

 planted houses for six weeks. The 

 plants are full of young growth, the 

 picture of health. 



Columbia and Premier have done so 

 splendidly that they have been greatly 

 increased in number this season. Martin 

 Samtman thinks that both are wonder- 

 ful producers. Columbia is considered

the faster grower, Premier the better 

 producer. One of the large Beauty 

 houses has been given to the Hoosier 

 pair. The Premiers intended for a mid- 

 winter crop are especially promising. 



The novelty this year on the place is 

 Madame Butterfly. Six thousand strong, 

 it fills one house. 



Hilda, their own sport from Mary- 

 land, and Sunburst, the last two of the 

 sextette, have been rested, pruned and 

 started into growth. Unlike the Beau- 

 ties, new stock of these varieties is not 

 benched each year. The whole place is 

 in excellent shape for producing heavily 

 during the coming season.
