UNKNOWN FLY WORKS HAVOC. 



We are sending specimens of some of 

 our plants affected by an insect which 

 we cannot identify. The insect closely 

 resembles a mite, is of a white color, 

 can crawl fairly fast and is like a red 

 spider, but it seems to have no web. 

 It has completely destroyed our cycla- 

 mens for two years and our Chatelaine 

 begonias for four years, but our being 



able on two occasions to clean up a 

 batch of young Chatelaine begonias in- 

 dicates that the insect is least active 

 from November to February. 



All this suggests thrips, but there is 

 a difference. Thrips can be kept down 

 with nicotine, while the insect in ques- 

 tion is not hurt in the least by strong 

 applications of nicotine extract. 



We are sending also specimens of a 

 small fly which we think has some con- 

 nection with the insect. This fly is not 

 affected by nicotine, but has been killed 

 with a prepared solution at a strength 

 that has burned the plants. 



G. F. S.— Mo. 



The box containing plants of cycla- 

 mens, begonias, gloxinias and snap- 

 dragons arrived in good condition, and 

 while I could not find any of the pests 

 that are causing the damage, I have no 

 doubt whatsoever that it is white fly, 

 a most annoying and destructive insect, 

 which is the bane of many growers. 



You can minimize the damage from 

 white fly somewhat by spraying with a 

 soap solution to which a little nicotine 

 has been added. This will kill all the 

 insects you can hit. The great trouble 

 is that white fly is a restless creature, 

 constantly on the move, and will not 

 stay still to be hit. I do not know any- 

 thing concerning the laws of your state 

 regulating the sale of poisons, but in 

 nearly all the states in the union hy- 

 drocyanic acid gas is now used not only 

 for greenhouse fumigation, but also in 

 storehouses, factories, citrus orchards, 

 etc. 



It would be advisable to make in- 

 quiries ot your state college and ascer- 

 tain if you can secure a permit to pur- 

 chase cyanide to be used for green- 

 house fumigation. It will rid you of 

 the white fly, and I know of no other 

 real remedy. Used with due care, it is 

 perfectly safe, and great numbers of 

 growers now depend on it entirely. A 

 short exposure on cool evenings would 

 be best in your state, and you could no 

 doubt devise some method of opening 

 the ventilators from outdoors after the 

 plants had had a 30-minute exposure, 

 unless you preferred a weaker dose and 

 all-night exposure. At all events, it 

 would most certainly be advisable to 

 lose no time in ascertaining something 

 definite about the purchase of cyanide 

 of potassium. C. W. 



Connellsville, Pa. — Harry T. Bengel 

 is just starting in business in this 

 town. 



Rock Island, 111. — The old saying, 

 "He who hesitates is lost," is more 

 than a series of empty words to Gus- 

 tavo A. Shaffer. In 1914 he felt that 

 he was in need of two more green- 

 houses. But the price, which at that 

 time was estimated at about $10,000 

 for each house, seemed too high, so he 

 decided to wait for the prices to go 

 down. However, he now- has reached 

 the point where he must have the 

 greenhouses. As his present range of 

 eight greenhouses is much too small 

 for his business, he feels that it is no 

 longer good business economy to wait 

 for the prices to come down. So he 

 plans to erect two new houses soon, at 

 the approximate estimate of $30,000 

 each. He expects to be through with 

 his present crop in two of his green- 

 houses by the first of June. At that 

 time he will tear them down and start 

 erecting the new ones.
