REMEDIES FOR RED SPIDER. 



The Gardeners' Magazine, London, 

 gives the following formulse for red spi- 

 der: 



As mixtures for spraying: (1) Boil 

 six ounces of black soap in one quart 

 of water for fifteen minutes, then add 

 four ounces of white soap in powder, 

 and boil for fifteen minutes. Next pour 

 a quart of paraflSn into a pail, add the 

 above, and stir thoroughly. This 

 "stock" might be allowed to stand for 

 a day or two, being stirred or churned 

 every now and then until a thick but- 

 tery mass has resulted. For use dilute 

 with water according to the strength of 

 the plants to be treated, thus: One part 

 of the stock to ten parts of water for 

 strong plants, one to fifteen for not so 

 strong plants, and one to thirty-five for 

 tender plants. It is safer to syringe 

 afterwards with cold water. 



(2) A mixture of infusion of quassia 

 chips and tobacco juice is also fairly 

 satisfactory, but whatever spraying mix- 



ture is used-^and a good douching with 

 soap and water is often satisfactory — ^ 

 care must be taken that the application 

 is thorough, and that the under sides of 

 the leaves are not neglected. 



Sulphur mixed with water, so that it 

 can be painted on the hot water pipes, 

 is often used in conservatories. In 

 this use of sulphur care must be 

 taken to maintain a proper moisture in 

 the greenhouse. Apart from the dan- 

 ger of this treatment, if the atmosphere 

 be dry, one of the great causes of the 

 prevalence and multiplication of red spi- 

 der is overheating and over-dryness. 

 Where "forcing" has to be done, and 

 the temperature is therefore high, at- 

 tention must be paid to keeping a moist 

 atmosphere. 



A PARK MAN*S VIEW. 



Theodore Wirth, of the park depart- 

 ment of Hartford, Conn., in his report 

 of trade conditions as state vice-president 

 of the S. A. F., writes as follows : 



' * The cultivation of the taste for flow- 

 ers and decorations has become universal. 

 It most decidedly has, and I am bold 

 enough to state that the tendency of the 

 public in that direction is greatly due to 

 the influence exercised on same through 

 the floral displays in up-to-date public 

 parks and private grounds, and claim 

 that but a small percentage of the com- 

 mercial floiists of to-day, both growers 

 and dealers, are prepared to take advan- 

 tage of the demand stimulated and cre- 

 ated through same to their benefit. I' 

 do not say that the floral decorations in 

 our public parks and progressive private 



f rounds here are better than elsewhere, 

 ut I know that our local commercial flor- 

 ists are not up to the demand, which 

 those displays create among the public. 



"Hundreds of visitors to our parks 

 want to know where they can procure 

 that or the other plant, all easily grown 

 and adapted to our climate, and when 

 they are given the addresses of our flor- 

 ists they come back and say that those 

 florists don't grow them and don't know 

 them. 



"Out of 200 different varieties of bed- 

 ding plants used in the making up of 

 flower beds, borders, old-fashioned gar- 

 dens, etc., used in up-to-date places of 

 horticultural interest, florists are not able 

 to supply, as a rule, more than twenty 

 to thirty varieties and those often only 

 in stock of olden times, run out through 

 propagation from year to year; the same 

 old story, over and over again. 



"If the local florists would aim to 

 keep step with the times by growing such 

 novelties as are proven to be meritorious 

 introductions and which the public want, 

 they would to their own advantage secure 

 their home trade in place of forcing same 

 into the hands of the unscrupulous, 

 swindling, fake drummers, that go around 

 the country collecting good money for 

 false, worthless goods. The demand for 

 ornamental plants for the decoration of 

 home grounds, for summer and the year 

 around, is growing in the same propor- 

 tion as are all other industries in this 

 glorious country. It calls for the break- 

 ing and cultivating of thousands of acres 

 of ground, and the employment of hun- 

 dreds of industrious hands, and the 

 young members of our craft should look 

 out to produce at home all that can be 

 produced to fill the demand of the home 

 trade. It can be done and should be 

 done. ' '
