TO RID IRIS OF APHIS. 



Our Iris tingitana is infested with 

 gray aphis and I wish to know what 

 is the cause of the infection and the 

 remedy? Is the foliage alone affected, 

 or will the flowers too be infested? 



D. T. & C— N. Y. 



Tobacco fumigation should soon clean 

 out this, or any other, aphis. One of the 

 nicotine papers I consider a good safe 

 remedy. Sj)raying with nicotine extract 

 will also kill any of the aphides, but 

 fumigation is more likely to clean all 

 pests out. fiive a !iiild fumigation once 

 a week to keep the plants clean. Aphides 



will .'iffect flowers as well as foliagi' 

 and should never he allowed to get .'i 

 foothold on irises or any other plants 

 under glass. C. W. 



ORDERS GIVEN TO SALESMEN. 



The familiar provisions in buyers' or- 

 ders, that soliciting salesmen are not 

 authorized to make contracts varying 

 from those expressed in the printed or- 

 der forms and that orders are sub.iect 

 to approval at the seller's home office, 

 were .iudicially scrutinized recently in 

 a case before the Maryland Court of 

 Appeals. The court held that such con- 

 ditions expressed in order blanks arc 

 reasoiiiible and enforceable and that 

 where an order was disapproved by a 

 home office within three days after b( 

 ing given to a salesman and where th 

 check for a partial payment was r< 

 turned to the customer who signed th'~ 

 order, there was no obligation to fill it
