that several thousand had been hand- 

 picked from the ferns a day or two be- 

 fore and that over 200 had been picked 

 from a space only five feet square. The 

 plants had also been sprayed with ar- 

 senate of lead at the rate of two and 

 one-half pounds to fifty gallons of water, 

 applied twice, but the final result was 

 not reported. Some of the growers com- 

 plained that lead arsenate, when used in 

 a solution strong enough to kill the 

 caterpillars, would at the same time 

 leave a white deposit on the plants 

 which destroyed their commercial value. 

 Owing to the delicacy of ferns, a spray 

 of Paris green strong enough to kill the 

 caterpillars would also burn the foliage. 

 Paris green, properly combined with 

 Bordeaux mixture, should not produce 

 this effect. 



Some of the local growers were ad- 

 vised by a government entomologist to 

 fumigate with hydrocyanic acid gas, but 

 it was not tried, so far as can be learned. 

 If fumigation by this method, says the 

 entomologist, were employed several 

 times at about the time when the insects 

 are hatching from the egg, or undergoing 

 their molts, it should assist materially 

 in reducing the numbers of the pest.

The Market. 



The market last week was short on all 

 lines of stock. Mums, which had been 

 the mainstay of the market for several 

 weeks, were scarce, even in the best 

 varieties. Medium-sized stock was 

 quite scarce and small stock was not 

 any too plentiful. The Thanksgiving 

 rush was responsible for this, as every 

 wholesale house was up on everything 

 it could get for the holiday. 



Roses are still off crop and now that
