Fifeshire, where his father was em- 

 ployed as a forester. His boyhood days 

 were spent on this beautiful place, where 

 the early love for gardening was imbued. 

 At the age of 15 he went as an appren- 

 tice to the Earl of Kosebery 's gardens 

 at Dalmeuy Park, near Edinburgh, 

 where he learned gardening under the 

 late John Moyes. His next place was at 

 Eiccarton, near Edinburgh, Sir James 

 Oibson Craig's place. Leaving here he 

 came to America in 1889 and found em- 

 ployment with Geo. C. Rand, at Law- 

 rence, Long Island. From there he went 

 to take charge of Henry Arthur's place 

 at Sands Point; then to Edward Mally's 

 place at New Haven, Conn. From there 

 he went to Washington to take charge of 

 Gardiner G. Hubbard's place. Twin 

 Oaks, where he has been for the past 

 fourteen years.

TO CONTROL THE SCALE. 



C. L. Marlatt, entomologist in the U. 

 S. Department of Agrictulture, takes a 

 pessimistic view in a bulletin issued 

 March 10 in which he says that "the 

 San Jose scale is so widely disseminated 

 and has become so firmly established in 

 the principal deciduous-fruit regions of 

 this country that its extermination is 

 now, in most cases, out of the question. 

 In the main, therefore, the San Jose 

 scale must be recognized as a permanent 

 factor to be regularly dealt with as are 

 •other insect evils or the fungous dis- 

 eases of plants." 



He goes on to say that extermination 

 is possible only where the scale is de- 

 tected at the very outset on new or re- 

 -cently planted nursery stock or, at least, 

 before any considerable chance of spread 

 has been afforded. It is true that by 

 the greatest care in the introduction of 

 nursery stock the San Jose scale may, 

 for years, perhaps, be kept out of dis- 

 tricts now free from it, and one is war- 

 ranted, therefore, in adopting every pre- 

 caution to avoid introducing this scale 

 and even to attempt extermination 

 ■wherever the conditions are reasonably 

 favorable. There is only one method of 

 exterminating the scale, and that is by 

 digging up and burning all infested 

 trees. This is an heroic remedy and is 

 advised only under the conditions of very 

 recent introduction of nursery stock — in 

 •other words, where the scale is discovered 

 within a few months after the purchase 

 of the infested trees. 



One of the main objects of the bul- 

 letin, therefore, is to emphasize the im- 

 portance and value of honest efforts to 

 control this insect for the great ma- 

 jority of districts where it has estab- 

 lished itself, rather than efforts at ex- 

 termination, which will at best rarely 

 prove successful and will always be ac- 

 companied with great immediate loss. 

 The other principal object is to desig- 

 nate briefly the means of control which 

 experience has shown to be of practical 

 value. 



The methods of control which have 

 been especially followed in the eastern 

 states are (1) the lime-sulphur wash, 

 (2) the soap treatment, (3) treatment 

 with pure kerosene, (4) treatment with 

 crude petroleum, (5) treatment with 

 mechanical mixtures of either of the 

 last two oils with water, and (6) pe- 

 troleum emulsion with soap. All of 

 'these methods have proved themselves to
