THE FEBN SCALE. 



I am sending you a fern frond in- 

 fected with a disease which I have 

 never seen before in my ten years' ex- 

 perience with Boston ferns. The fronds 

 are frosted with sm;m white specks 

 which look like white fly, but they do 

 not crawl. The affected fronds turn 

 yellow and dry up. The white specks 

 stay white for some time after the 

 frond is dry. I have sprayed them 

 with whale-oil soap and nicotine solu- 

 tions, but they did not help any. The 

 plants seem to have shown the disease 

 ;iftor the spring stock was put on the 

 shelves. The stock was crowded and 

 was in the shade. K. C. — 111. 



This is evidently another severe case 

 of the fern scale, an insect that is not 

 overcome easily and one that has been 

 prevalent during recent years. Any 

 fronds as badly infected as the sample 

 should be cut off and burned. A regu- 

 lar coulee of spraying should be taken 

 up. Various spraying solutions have 



been used for this insect, and one of 

 the best compounds is composed of half 

 an ounce of whale-oil soap and one tea- 

 spoonful of a nicotine extract diluted 

 with one gallon of water. The soap 

 is dissolved by boiling and the nicotine 

 extract added after the solution has 

 cooled. The plants should bo sprayed 

 in the evening once each week.
