PROTECTING THE CARNATION 



W. D. Howard. 



From Diseases and Insects. 



Ill his .'nldrcss hct'oTn tlir ( iarilciicrs ' 

 ,'iiiil Florists' Ciul) of I'.ost(iii, Ffbruar.v 

 .;{, \V. I). Howard, Milford. Mass., said": 



' ' Ht'd spidrr is tlir most dangerous 

 insect jx'st attackiiij: caiiiat ions. It is 

 i|iiitf liaVdo to alta.k jilaiits in tiie field. 



I do not a|(])i-o\i' of watcrinir carna- 

 tions outdoors, rxccpt in case of ex- 

 trrnie need, hut [ do indieve in a good 

 soakiiijr ijuiit .ittri- planting. I have 

 iiist.illed a .Skinner system in my field 

 .ind liave used it occasionally. It has 

 lielped to ward off spider. I have more 

 faith in constant hoeing to retain .soil 

 moisture than in w.-iteriiig. Hoeing, long 

 coiitinu.'d, causes a consideralile dust 

 niiilch, which covers the foliage and 

 gives a chance for spider to secure a 

 footliold. It pays to oinii the Skinner 

 system and wash this dust off. If any 

 spider remains on plants when housed, 

 .'I force of water, well directed from the 

 linse ami .■ipplied in sever.al dire.-tions, is 

 'he liest i-nn-. There may he a few hot
