The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JuNa 28, 1906. 



the growth of small galls, which form 

 an obstruction to the flow of sap, the 

 supply of which being cut off soon causes 

 the plants to assume an unhealthy ap- 

 pearance. The first indication of their 

 presence is the appearance of yellow 

 foliage, followed by weakness of the 

 young growth, and finally the general 

 debility of the plant. 



The worm you have on the surface of 

 the soil must belong to another family. 

 Just what it is, or what harm it may 

 cause the plants, I am unable to say, 

 unless I have a minute description of 

 it. A good many kinds of so-called 

 worms are conveyed to the soil through 

 manure. "With others, the eggs are in 

 the soil, where they have been deposited 

 by the mother insect previous to its be- 

 ing taken into the greenhouse. If the 

 soil were left outdoors they would natur- 

 ally lie dormant through the winter and 

 hatch out when the warm summer 

 weather arrives. Under the congenial 

 atmosphere of the greenhouse they will, 

 of course, hatch out through the winter 

 months. Few of these insects, however, 

 prove very destructive to plant life, 

 though the presence of some are not at 

 all desirable in the greenhouse. Usually 

 a sprinkling of air-slaked lime well 

 mixed through the soil will destroy them 

 in the more tender stages of their growth 

 and it would be a good thing to apply 

 the lime just before taking the soil into 

 the greenhouse. A good sprinkling over 

 the surface of the old soil will, no doubt, 

 be also beneficial. W. S. Ceotdon.
