possible by spreading in a thin layer on 

 the floor. Forced drying by an air 

 blast or fan is much to be desired. 



The bichloride solution may be used 

 only twice, since its strength is reduced 

 by use. Make up a fresh dilution from 

 the stock solution for every two bags 

 of seed. 



Guard against reinfection of the 

 treated seed. Bags to be used for 

 treated seed should be soaked in the 

 1-1000 mercuric chloride solution for 

 at least five minutes, rinsed and dried. 

 This can most readily be done by using 

 these bags for the original seed treat- 

 ment, being careful that the entire bag 

 is immersed. 



FIRE AT NEW ROCHELLE. 



A destructive fire occurred at. the 

 Eose Hill Nurseries, at New Rochelle, 

 N. Y., Monday, August 15. The large 

 packing house, 25x68 feet and two 

 stories high, and a building which had a 

 carpenter shop and storage room on the 

 second floor and a garage on the main 

 floor were totally destroyed. The 

 garage contained a Republic truck, a 

 Ford delivery car and Charles Sie- 

 brecht's Reo, which were all destroyed 

 by the fire. 



The large building also held many im- 

 j)lemcnts, tools and other supplies, 

 which could not be saved. The fire was 

 so intense that the flames flared as high 

 as the 85-foot water tower and so hot' 

 that the .'^-inch steam pipe covered with 

 asbestos was bent and buckled out of 

 shape. Two small 90-foot greenhouses 

 and their contents were also a total loss. 

 A small house across the road had one 

 corner burrted for a distance of about 

 twenty feet and some of the rare Stre- 

 litzia Regina^, or bird of paradise 

 plants, were scorched. Many other plants 

 and bulbs were lost, the number of which 

 is not known at present. Tlie total loss 

 is estimated at about $12,000. The ga- 

 rage was insured for $3,000. 



Henry A. Siebrecht had just left for 

 the convention of the S. A. F., at Wash- 

 ington, where he enjoyed only the first 

 day of the session and the reception of 

 the president during the evening. When 

 he received the news of the fire, he took 

 the first train for home, regretting most 

 sincerely not having the pleasure of 

 meeting many more of his old friends.
