SMALL GODFBEY CALLAS. 



Will you kindly tell me how big God- 

 frey callas are when they start to 

 bloom t Is it customary to dry them 

 off during therfuntmer? We ney^er see 



any dry bulbs advertised for sale and 

 seldom see offers of plants in anything 

 larger than 2V^-inch pots. P. W. M. 



These callas, when they have made 

 good, strong flowering roots, should be 

 rested the same as the ordinary callas. 

 While small they must not be rested, 

 but should be grown on continuously 

 until they are of flowering strength. It 

 is a good plan to plant out these smaU 

 plants in summer in well manured 

 ground, potting them up early in Sep- 

 tember. Plants are much strengthened 

 by being planted out. The small 2%'- 

 inch stock usually sold will not bloom 

 to amount to anything for two or more 

 years. C. W. 



WORMS AND INSECTS ON LILIES. 



I am sending under separate cover 

 some lily bulbs on which you will find 

 several kinds of insects and worms. 

 One is a larva from which comes a smalt 

 black fly, and another is what I call 

 the ground thrips. There may be others. 

 Kindly advise us what can be done to 

 destroy them, for they are troublesome 

 pests. E. S. & S. 



The worms and insects had dried up 

 80 much in transit that they were not 

 recognizable. To clean both worms and 

 insects out of your soil will not be diffi- 

 cult. Secure a pound can of carbon 

 bisulphide; the cost is usually 25 cents 

 at retail. Make a hole three inches 

 deep with a pointed stick in each lily 

 pot, then pour in half a teaspoonful of 

 the carbon bisulphide, immediately cov- 

 ering the hole. The gas from the liquid 

 will speedily destroy all larvae :or in- 

 sects in the soil and will not harm your 

 plants. Do not use any naked lights 

 near the carbon bisulphide, as it \s ex- 

 plosive. Also keep it fron>, your' hands 

 and clothes, as it is decidedly^yi|-«meU« 

 ing. .(C. W.
