BE EXPLIQT. 



The Eeview is very glad to answer 

 the inquiries of its readers, but often it 

 is impossible to afford much light on the 

 questioner's difficulties because of in- 

 sufficient details in the query. Where 

 conditions of soil, moisture, temperature 

 and other important matters are not 

 stated it is often not possible to say 

 what is wrong; the best we can do is to 

 say what may be the trouble. Tell us 

 the whole story; then we are pretty sure 

 to find a reader who has experienced the 

 -same thing and discovered a way out 

 of the difficulty. And in queries with 

 regard to heating, don't be afraid to 

 go into details with regard to the char- 

 acter of the house or houses; how "^frell 

 built, age, exposures, etc. These are 

 only a little less necessary than the di- 

 mensions and indoor and outdoor tem- 

 peratures in figuring on amount of radi- 

 ation, etc., and in their absence the best 

 that can be done is to provide for piping 

 which will be safe under ordinary con- 

 ditions. 



THRIPS. 



The frequency with which there have 

 been complaints of the depredations of 

 tbrips in greenhouses resulted in experi- 

 ments in the treatment for this pest in 

 the greenhouses of the Hatch Experiment 

 Station at Amherst, Mass. It is closely 

 allied to the grass thrips which had pre- 

 viously been investigated at the Station 

 but of course the methods of combatting 

 the insects are totally different out of 

 doors and under glass. In the former 

 case burning over the infected area in 

 early spring, before the grass starts, is 

 the recommended remedy; under glass 

 fumigating is practiced. 



It was found that burning tobacco 

 leaves, twelve ounces to 1,000 cubic feet 

 of space, in the greenhouse had no effect 

 on the thrips although it killed plant lico. 



With lemon oil, one part to forty-eight 

 parts water at 120 degrees, dipping the 

 plants killed the thrips, most of them 

 being washed off and the rest soon dying. 



Rose Leaf tobacco extract and Nico- 

 tine vaporized at a strength which did 

 no injury to the plants, killed the thrips 

 but more than one fumigation was neces- 

 sary to reach them all. Hydrocyanic 

 acid gas was also effective. 



Albany, N. Y. — H. L. Menand has 

 opened a wholesale florists' supply estab- 

 lishment at 34 William street and will 

 also deal in decorative greens. He was 

 formerly at Menand 's Stsrtion.
