MONTANA FLOEISTS TO MEET. 



According to th3 announcement of 

 Secretary E. P. Calmettes, the Montana 

 Florists' Association will hold a meet- 

 ing about September 25 at Helena. This 

 will be during the week of the fair at 

 Helena, when many florists of the state 

 will stage exhibits. The professional 

 displays this year promise to exceed 

 those of previous years, as better op- 

 portunities are offered for placing ex- 

 hibits and the premiums have been in- 

 creased, the total awards amounting to 

 $300. The keenest competition is ex- 

 pected for the best display of deco- 

 rative plants, cut and potted, and ferns 

 and palms, to cover at least 150 square 

 feet, for which prizes of $50, $30 and 

 $20 are offered. The exhibits are to be 

 in place Wednesday morning, Septem- 

 ber 24. 



MUST TOE THE MABE. 



The United States government is 

 holding the manufacturers of insecti- 

 cides to a strict accountability under 

 the law and it is dangerous for one of 

 them to let any laxity creep into his 

 processes; any little lot that fails to 

 make good the description on the label 

 is likely to get the manufacturer into 

 court. The result no doubt has been a 

 decided improvement in the quality of 

 insecticides in general. No manufac- 

 turer who hoped to build a large or 

 permanent business would knowingly 

 misbrand his product, even without the 

 restraint of law, but with it lax meth- 

 ods can no longer be tolerated; they 

 lead to trouble. 



The government publishes in most 

 bald language the result of each prose- 

 cution instituted under the law. Not 

 often do these concern the maker of an 

 insecticide used in the greenhouse trade, 

 but occasionally the maker of a florists ' 

 insecticide gets caught in the predica- 

 ment shown in the following clipping 

 from a government document issued 

 September 10. 



"The United States Department of 

 Agriculture has just issued notices of 

 judgment obtained under the insecticide 

 act. • ♦ • The third case was against 

 the Kentucky Tobacco Product Co., 

 Louisville, Ky., for the alleged ship- 

 ment and delivery for shipment of a 

 quantity of an insecticide designated 

 Nico-Fume Liquid from the state of 

 Kentucky to the state of California. 

 The product was labeled 'Nico-Fume 

 Liquid. A Nicotine Solution Consisting 

 of Free Nicotine Blended With Water. 

 Active Ingredients, Nicotine 40 per 

 cent, Inert Ingredients, 60 per cent. M 

 Pint 50 cents. Original Package guar- 

 anteed to weigh not less than 4V4 oz. 

 net, and to contain not less than 743 

 grains of Nicotine.' 



"Analysis of this product showed 

 that it contained a much less percentage 

 of nicotine than forty per cent. Adul-
