MEALY BUG ON BOSTONS, 



Please tell me of a good solution or 

 other method of getting rid of mealy 

 bugs on Boston ferns. J. C. 



Fumigating with aphis punk is «.ne of 

 the safest and best remedies for mealy 

 bug on Boston ferns, this prepar.ation 

 being entirely harmless to the ferns 

 when used according to directions. The 

 directions given by the makers of the 

 punk suggest the use of three rolls of 

 the preparation to a greenhouse 20x100 

 feet in area, but I have used double 

 that quantity without injury to the 

 plants. The fumigation should be given 

 in the evening and preferably when the 

 weather is cloudy and damp, as the smoke 

 stays in the house much longer under 

 such conditions, and two or three smok- 

 ings on successive evenings may be 

 needed to make a clearance of the in- 

 sects. W. 31. Taplin.
