FUMIGATING. 



Even with the improved fumigants 

 there is a risk of damaging the tender 

 spring foliage. I know that under cer- 

 tain conditions, the most tender plants 

 "lay be rid of all ordinary insect pests 

 without any risk; yet I have frequently 

 heard complaints that mischief has been 

 done. Temperature is one of the most 

 important matters to study ; shut a house 

 up while the sun is on it and cause the 

 plants to sweat, and damage is sure to 

 tollow fumigation ; or, when done early 

 in the morning, the same thing may 

 occur if the house is left closed too long. 

 In the days when tobacco was used it was 

 ^ general practice to damp the floor and 

 other spaces to make the smoke hang; 

 but with the lirjiiid vaporizers now in

use, a rather dry atmosphere and as low 

 a temperature as it is safe to give, is 

 what is most needed. I think that with 

 the older methods of fumigating more 

 harm was done by shutting up the houses 

 than by the actual fumigating. — Horti-

All parties indebted to firms on the

 as now.

 sively in last week 's issue.

 employees are safe.
