 nothing better than our

 fill your space and pocketbook. too. Besides giving blooms throughout the 

 spring, these same plants can be relied upon to furnish a bumper after-crop for 

 Memorial Day— the one big flower day of the year. Now is the time to start. 



Pure, fresh seed of my original Silver Pink Snapdragon at $1.00 per pkt.; 

 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Fresh seed of Nelrose, Garnet, White. Yellow, Buxton 

 and Mixed, at 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. 



Seedling plants of White Snapdragons at $4.00 per 100. Other varieties

TROUBLE WITH CUCUMBEES. 



Our cucumbers have been dying ever 

 since we shifted them into 4-inch pots. 

 The largest are now about eight feet 

 high and we are losing more than ever. 

 The soil in the houses was steamed be- 

 fore the plants were set, but the pot- 

 ting soil was not. I do not think the 

 trouble is wilt, as we never have had 

 this on the place. I have found bugs 

 about a quarter of an inch long, which 

 have a yellow back spotted with black, 

 I think this bug stings or bites the 

 plants, causing them to wither and die. 

 I notice that in the houses where the 

 bugs are most numerous, the most 

 plants are dying. I have not been able 

 to find anything to kill this bug. I 

 have used arsenate of lead, Paris green, 

 nicotine and smoke. Some of the 

 plants begin to wilt at the top, others 

 farther down, on the leaf part, and 

 still others on a lateral. The roots are 

 perfectly healthy. Can you suggest a 

 remedy! C. O. P.— la. 



The particular pest you describe I 

 am not acquainted with. Inasmuch as 

 your soil in the beds was all sterilized, 

 any soil pests must have come in the 

 potting soil. You do not say that this is 

 a soil pest. I infer that it is something 

 on the wing, as you call it a bug, and 

 say that it stings the shoots, thus cans-
