ELY this cannot be true ; well, we have over JOO growers who have written us, a large majority 

 without request, their opinions ; we publish a few of these letters in the columns of this paper; see 

 on pages 1 48- J 53- 1 65- J 68. what they say about the FUMIGATING KIND TOBACCO 

 POWDER* All began with a five-pound trial bag at our expense, which gave them an opportunity 

 without cost to prove its GOODNESS and our assertion that it was the most effective, cleanest and 

 quickest, as well as cheapest (10 cents per ) 00-foot house) article to fumigate with, and that all kinds of 

 aphis can be killed in one night. Let us send you a five-pound trial bag by express, it will cost you 

 nothing but the express charges on it, and be convinced that what your brother growers say of it is 

 true. Our booklet tells of it; we mail it on request.

A LABOR SAVER. 



Time is often a very important factor 

 in the satisfactory execution of funeral 

 pieces. It is a usual occurrence that 

 a great amount of work be required in a 

 very brief time and anything which will 

 facilitate the execution of orders is of 

 considerable value. There are millions 

 of toothpicks put into designs made up 

 on wire frames and while the time spent 

 in attaching the wire is only an instant 

 for each individual pick, in the aggre- 

 gate it runs into a great many hours 

 every year. The retail florist is not as 

 quick as might be supposed to take ad- 

 vantage of any new device offered him, 

 but in the last year or two the sales for 

 the ordinary wooden toothpicks and the 

 box of wires have been very materially 

 cut into by a ready-wired pick designed 

 to economize the design-maker's time. 

 These ready- wired picks are "sold for only 

 a few cents per thousand more than the 

 cost of picks and wire, being wired by 

 machinery, and effect a saving which is 

 very considerable when the time of the 

 florist is taken into consideration. They 

 are now in use in practically all the up- 

 to-date flower stores throughout the 

 country and are handled by most of the 

 dealers in florists* supplies. 



VORMS IN BOWLING GREEN. 



Will you please tell me through the 

 Review what to do with a bowling green 

 that is very badly infested with wormp, 

 which caused much damage? J. L. 



For a lawn badly infested with worms, 

 such as your correspondent describes, 

 nothing could be better than a liberal 

 dressing of soft coal soot. If necessary 

 give the lawn two applications. It will 

 be found to materially strengthen the 

 grasses and is very distasteful to the 

 worms. If soot cannot readily be pro- 

 cured use Canadian wood ashes, the 

 potash in which is not to the worms' lik- 

 ing. Use some fine bone with the ashe?, 

 which are not in themselves a complete 

 fertilizer. We would not recommend the 

 use of lime. Keep the bowling gref>n 

 well rolled after copious rainfalls. This 

 in itself should largely tend to alleviate 

 the evil. W. N. C. 



You may discontinue my advertise- 

 ment of violet plants. I have sold all 

 the stock I had, which shows that it cer- 

 tsiinly pays to advertise in your paper. —
