IxiwdciiMl borax and jicrniit the mixture 

 fi) stand for ten days before using, in 

 (iiilci- that tlie sugar may absorb the 

 borax. This will destroy a great many 

 of tlicni. K(Mds('nt' ])aint('d along the 

 woodwork is an effective antidote. Try 

 on(' or all of tlu!se remedies and they 

 will, at least, greatly reduce the number 

 of the ants. 



HAVE YOU BENCH ROSES? 



Anyone who has bench rose jilants can 

 turn them ((uickly into cash by letting 

 the trade know about it through the 

 classified columns of The Review. It

Mildew usually comes from cold 

 drafts. Allowing a house to become ex- 

 ceedingly warm, then rushing in a lot 

 of ventilation and leaving it on until a 

 cold draft strikes the ]ilants, is a sure 

 way to start mildew. To counteract it, 

 affected ]>lants can be dusted with sul- 

 phur from a jiowder bellows and 

 spraved with a liipiid liki' LSordeanx mix- 

 ture. 



For outdoor stock, dusting with fine 

 siil|ilnir and (ir;i]ie Dust, or sjiraying 

 with a good fungicide, are the best 

 reiiKMlies, Cold nights with heavy dews 

 tdllowing hot davs are often the cause 

 of mildew on hardv roses. C, W.
