Every effort is being made to stain 

 it out, and witli the more natural nietl 

 ods of yrowino- that obtain in Ouornsi > 

 and iln^land the trouble has not pla.Ve. 

 siudi lia\dc as it has in Holland, accore 

 ing to Mr. \;m Leeuweu. J'robald 

 this is due to the excossivel.v lii^-: 

 feediiid- that bullis "ct in Holl.aiid, wit 

 a \iew to olitaiuiui;' roots of abnormn 

 si/.e. Holland growers have for yeai 

 looked to (hiernsey to renew thei, 

 stocks, their jiractice being to obtai: 

 from (ineinsX' !i health.\', hard bulb o 

 planting si/.e. 



Our business as bulb grower.s, whethe 

 in America, Holland, Kngland or Guern 

 se.v, should be to iiiul some means ti 

 eliminate this post rather than to throv. 

 stones at one another. The Koval Hoi 

 ticultural Society at its gardens . a i 

 Wislev, Kugland, has been investigJitin- 

 this suliject, and we hojie in the neai 

 future to be able to deal with it satis 

 f.aetorily. ^leanwhile forcers would bi 

 well advised to secure hard, well ripeiu'd 

 bulbs rather than enormous roots ot 

 softer texture, whicdi are nuich more 

 liktdv to fall \ ictims to this trouble.

PARIS GREEN FOR THRIPS. 



(ieiiryc .\. Knapji, of Nevada, Mn., 

 siipjdies the t'diiniiLa for the use of i'aris 

 green t'or thrips called for in Tlie We 

 view lit' .lune It. It appears it oriyi 

 nallv w.as supjilied bv Wendlaiul iV 

 Keiuiel ('d., Illinhnrst, 111., .and was as 

 I'dlldws: 



■■()iir t'diinnl.a is: Take five ]iounils 

 dt' blown sugar to one pound of I'aris 

 di'eeii: mix dry; run through a tiin* 

 screen to take out lnm|)s. 



■''I'd .apply, take two ounces ot' the 

 mixture to two gallons ot' w.ater in 

 s|ir.ayer tdr I'liii feet o|' beindi; npply this 

 in the .afteriidon Late, or after syringing, 

 while the plants .are still wad. and if 

 I le.ar the next day syringe off to previMit 

 the leaves burning. 



■'It' used .about once ,a week this will 

 keeji the plants (dean, except possibly 

 ill Ajiiil .and .May, vvhih lil.acs .and snow 

 b.alls .are in blodin. During tli.at time it 

 cdllhl be used ofteiier, but never applv 

 ;i second time without syringing the first 

 .a|i|ilicat ion off. or it will burn the jdants. 

 Do iidt mix liiiK" 111 any other .alk.ali 

 witli this, as it keeps the thrips from 

 e.atinu the su;^'.ar and kills the etTect of 

 the pdisdii. ' '
