 Our house is .'tdxHlil. On the whole, we 

 liave liad a fine tut of carnatious 

 tliroiij;li the winter. Can you tell us 

 what is the matter with these plants? 



ir. c. V. 



Tlie larjicr luids show plainly the rav- 

 aj^es of tlirips. It is ihjw rather late 

 in the season to start a warfare on 

 these pests. They inultijily with j^reat 

 rapitlity during this warm weather, and 

 if the house is badly infested you ean 

 bar<lly e.xpect to (Exterminate them be- 

 fore it will be time to replant. In 

 dealiuy with these pests, the best plan 



is to )tre\('iit their spreadin;^ from the 

 be^iiniiiii;; ol' the season. J>y sprayinj; 

 with nicotine or fumi^iatin;^ re;^iilarly 

 through the winter, when they multiply 

 slowly, one can keep them in check so 

 (drecti\(dy that they will not ^vt tlie 

 iipjier hand before replanting; time. 



'I'lie siiiall buds do not sliow anytliiiii; 

 aliiKunial ; in fact, th(>y are too youiii; 

 to show aiiythiii"; definite in rej;ard to 

 the petala;;*'. A close examination 

 failed to rcNcal any eating. .\t this 

 time of the year there is considerable 

 trouble from a variety of cutworm, 

 whiidi hides during the day and (dimbs 

 up to the buds at uiyht, eating a hole 



into the sidi' of the bud to L;et at the 

 N'ouii;; petaU inside. Snails will do the 

 same tiling. l'"or lioth ol' these jicsts we 

 use a poison mash, made ol' bran, mo- 

 lasses an<l I'aris Lireeii. Mix the bran 

 with enouLih nudasses to make a mash; 

 then add enou^^h I'aris ^reen to make 

 the mixture deadl\'. I'lop a little (d' 

 this \\here\('r you thiiil< the pest-; will 

 find it readily, aloiii; the edoclioaid and

 plants. If yon still ha\i- a nij^ht man 

 on. instruct liini to i:n throui^li the 

 house b(d'ore ilaybreak with his lantern, 

 lie will be able to catcli many of them 

 at work on tiie buds. A. i\ .). I',.

 ticultural hall. 



"This will 1,0 ,,||,. ,||' I),,, oi-o;,f^i.^) 

 e\fnts fur lloriculture and horticulture 

 ever h(dd in the cast and will attract 

 enormous crowds of the ri,ubt people. 

 We cannot see how you can alVord to 

 miss this opportunity of displavinu' 

 your specialties, mor(> ' esfH^ciallv as the 

 .■ost will be small and the exhibit will 

 re(|nire no care on your part. 



"Tliere will bo no char,i;e for spaces, 

 as tli(> land is owned by the city of Ros- 

 ton, and its ordinances forbid this; but 

 for jireparation, care .and maintiMiance 

 a small char-e •\vill bo made to cover 

 cost of jirejia ration and care throu-'hout 

 the summer. This will be 10 cents jier 

 stpiare foot for spaces up to an.l in- 

 cluding- L'..'i(i(i s(piare feet; from 2 ."lOO 

 squar(> feet to .1,000 square feet at S 

 cents per srpi.are foot, and over .1,000 

 s(|uare feet at C cents per S(piare foot. 



"\Ve are enclosin<r a dia«;ram of the 

 lay-out (re])roduced in The IJeview of 

 Ajiril 0) and your preference for posi- 

 tion will have every consideration. As 

 the time is now short, an earlv d.>cision 

 IS necessary for best results. " The war- 



den is all ready for trees, sliiulis, vines, 

 conifers and hardy herbaceous jilants. 



"For tender jdants it will be safer to 

 defer jdantinjf to May 2i>. Let us hear 

 from you at once and we will be Liind 

 to do e\-erythinL: in our power I'or your 

 success. ,\ll plants should be addressed, 

 express jirepaid, to Roston jdirk de- 

 jiartment, Ma(dv Ray Fens, Roston, INfass., 

 and marked "Convention (larden,'" 

 care James R. Shea, and advise us of

"Do not waste time on this, but helji 

 make the ]!)14 convention the .i^reatest 

 in history, and also reap the benefit of 

 the large amount of advertisini: and 

 sales that will come to you. 



"Checdvs for the full amount of space
