CXJTWOBMS OB SNAILS. 



I am sending a few carnation bud.s 

 for examination. T have one bench that 

 is practically all affected and I do not 

 know how to combat it. I have ex- 

 amined a number of Imds and have not 

 been able to find any trace of a worm 

 or insect. Please let me know as soon 

 as possible what is catisinp the trouble 

 and tlie methods to use in order to 

 check it. The remaining benches, while 

 there are a few buds destroyed, are not 

 nearlv so bad as this one bench. 



V. B. & S.— Mich. 



Your carnation buds are being eaten 

 by either cutworms or snails, probably 

 the latter. They feed at night; that is 

 why you do not find them. Poisoned 

 bait is the usual method of extermina- 

 tion. Mix bran and molasses to make 

 it sweet and then add enough Paris 

 green to make it deadly. Drop this 

 along the edge boards and wherever 

 they are likely to get it. Repeat every

TIME TO PLANT CHERRIES. 



When should ornann'iit.-il cherries and 

 peppers be sown so that the plants will 

 !)e suitable for the usual winter salef 

 We want to try growing them in the 

 field. We should ;ilso like to know the 

 names of the popular varieties. 



G. F. v.— Tex. 



Seeds of both the peppers and orna 

 mental, or .Jerusalem, cherries should be 

 sown, at once. They would have ijeeti 

 better sown a month ago, but in your 

 warmer state they should make good- 

 sized plants outdoors. The peppers do 

 not lift so well as the cherries and for 

 that reason arc better grown in pots. 

 You will find Cleveland a splendid 

 cherry to grow. Orange Queen malics a 

 nice plant and is well worth growing in 

 smaller quantity. C. W. 



BLOOD FOB FERTILIZER. 



We wish to aslc your opinion about 

 using fresh blood from the slaughter 

 house. Of course this blood is mixed 

 with water. Is this kind of blood a 

 good fertilizer for roses and will it take 

 the place of dried blood? There is a 

 cistern near our houses and we have a 

 force pump with which we can pump it 

 into the greenhouses. Will it be neces- 

 sary to use bone meal with the blood? 

 .T. S.— 111. 



I have not had any experience in us- 

 ing blood in this way, but the idea does 

 not appeal to me for several reasons. 

 First, it would be disagreeable to use; 

 second, I am of the opinion it would 

 not be good for the plant roots, and 

 third, unless it was made extremely thin 

 it would clog the surface of the soil.
