 of the plants had shown disease, but

 tically clean, that Mrs. Akehurst did 

 not split with him in the dark days of

Tlie Andorra Nurseries. 



There is an interesting feature of the 

 Andorra Nurseries that is not well 

 known to the ordinary visitor who goes 

 to see trees and shrubs. It is an in- 

 creasingly important department that is 

 now seen at its best. This is the propa- 

 gating department. It is located in a 

 couple of small greenhouses, exceed- 

 ingly neat and clean, that are filled to 

 overflowing with nursery stock. The 

 method is much the same as you or I 

 would use, but there are a few features 

 of it that are interesting. The propa- 

 gator is extremely skillful. His suc- 

 cess is attributed to great care in the 

 selection of the wood. Year after year 

 he successfully roots something like 

 ninety-five per cent of his cuttings. 

 When they are rooted and potted off, 

 the cuttings are grown a few days in 

 the greenhouse and then put outside 

 in heated frames, where they are car- 

 ried through the winter. The aim is 

 to propagate all the desirable rare va- 

 rieties, increasing their number as rap- 

 idly as possible, leaving to others the 

 varieties that are grown in vast quan- 

 tities.

Bats. 



Nearly every florist has trouble at 

 this season, when cold weather first com- 

 mences. The greenhouses and sheds are 

 attractive and when corn and oats and 

 bulbs are to b.e had it means heaven to 

 the rats. How to get rid of them when 

 busy is the problem. There are any 

 number of different ways — all good. The 

 thing to do is to follow up the plan 

 selected systematically until well rid of 

 them and never to use bare hands in 

 setting the trap or spreading p-'son on 

 food. Bats and mice do not like the 

 smell of human hands. Use gloves when 

 setting a trap. Use a knife and fork 

 when preparing their food. It is the 

 hunter's idea regarding wild beasts 

 carried into our daily life. 



Bichard Lange, of Boxborough, firmly 

 believes in Maurer's rat paste. Mr. 

 Lange says that he thoroughly cleaned 

 out his place when it was overrun
