rORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Busiiiess was fair last week. Tlio 

 severe heat of the week previous liad 

 abate<l, ' and a mimber of electrical 

 storms helped to clear the atmosphere. 



The market is flooded with all vari- 

 eties of cut flowers, the hardy outdoor 

 flowers being most numerous. The qual- 

 ity of the stock is not so good as that 

 of a few weeks ago. Roses are more 

 plentiful than the demand calls for. 

 Only the long-stemmed, better grades 

 are in keeping with the demand. Sun- 

 burst, Ward, Ophelia and Richinond are 

 the best roses at present. Greenhouse 

 carnations are over at last. Gladioli 

 are the finest and most abundant of the 

 outdoor flowers. Many fine varieties 

 are being received from the surrounding 

 country. Asters are improving in qual- 

 ity and becoming more abundant.

WHAT THRIP JUICE No. 2 WILL DO 



CHBYSANTHEMUMS ON LONQ ISLAND. 



Mr. Benjamin Hammond, Beacon, N. Y. Woodside, L. I., N. Y., Oct. 20, IQl.*?. 



Dear Sir: I find your Thrlp Juice No. 2 a good thing to use on Chrysanthe- 

 mum». Kindly send bill for the last gallon shipped, and oblige. 



Yours respectfully. (Signed) VICTOR S. DORVAL SONS. 



THBIPS ON CARNATIONS. 



Ed. American Florist: 



Please advise how to remedy the trouble affecting Carnation buds mailed 

 under separate cover. Kansas. F. W. F. 



The Carnation buds are badly infested with Thrips. Upon opening up two 

 or three of the buds we found them alive with these pests. Thrips are one of the 

 worst enemies that Carnation growers have to deal with, and the only way to 

 fight them successfully is to get after them by spraying the plants regularly 

 with the Nicotine preparations as soon as they are planted into the houses from 

 the field and keep at it continually until weather conditions will allow for fumi- 

 gation. For stubborn cases we spray with HAMMOND'S THBIP JUICE No. 2, 

 applied as per directions on the cans. This is an oily substance and will cause 

 the foliage of the plants to look a lighter green, but we have never found it to 

 harm the foliage at all. C. W. JOHNSON. 



THEIP JUICE NO. 2 ON EOSES. 



Hopeland Estate, Staatsburg, N. Y., Dec. 20, 1913. 

 Hammond 's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y. 



Dear Sirs: I have used your THBIP JUICE No. 2 on outdoor Roses, also 

 Roses indoors, as well as Bay Trees and other hard-wooded stock, and can say it 

 is a most efficient remedy for Scale, Mealy Bug and Thrips, Very truly yours, 



(Signed) CHAS. HARMAN, Supt. 



Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 7, 1914. 



Col. Wm. Sharp, for more than twenty-five-^ars grower for Samuel Murray, 

 says: "I have found THRIP JUICE No. 2 very effective for White Scale on 

 Cattleyas and variegated Pineapples, Brown Scale on Ficus and Palms. 



While several applications may be necessary, it is cheaper in the end than 

 Nicotine and far more effective. 



Our farmer finds it a cure for the Curculio on Plums. Send along five gal- 

 lons as before." W. M. 



Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 17, 1915. 



Schmidt & Botley Co. endorse THEIP JUICE No. 2 for killing the White Fly. 

 They believe in prevention, and took steps at once to destroy it. 



Oustav Schneider says he uses THEIP JUICE No. 2 regularly, more as a 

 preventive, and never had a finer lot of Chrysanthemums than last season. At one 

 time the plants were affected with rust, but one or two sprayings brought them 

 around. 



Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 14, 1914. 

 Robert Lockerbie, many years with the Robt. Craig Co., and now grower for 

 the Charlotte Cut Flower Co., says he has used all makes of Insecticides and is 

 now using THEIP JUICE No. 2 for Thrips on Chrysanthemums and Carnations. 

 The dilution of one to forty i^ proper. Sprayed on cloudy days, every week or ten 

 days, left on foliage for 48 hours, it never fails to kill the insect and the slight 

 discoloration on foliage is offset by its usefulness. W. M.
