 as my experience goes, is ('lia<l\vick. The 

 color of this variety is a flesh white. Jt 

 has also a pink and a vellow sport

A HOUSE OF IVORY. 



(i. \V. Kenard, :,t Avondale, i'a., is one 

 of those growers who has not found 

 anythrng among t|„. i;,ter varieties of 

 chrysanthemums to disjdace Ivory as a 

 money maker. The accompanving illus- 

 tration siiows a liouse L'SxlUu' feet, con- 

 taining G,UUU plants of Lvorv, grown two 

 flowers to the plant, the house contain- 

 ing IL'.OOO blooms all in fine shajie. Mr. 

 Kenard finds Ivory about the readiest 

 seller there is for the store man with the 



average class of trade. Jt is easy lo 

 handle and always sure of a market. 



Mr. Kenard is a young man endowed 

 by nature with the heavy chin denoting 

 courage and determination. He has been 

 exceptionally successful in his business 

 and i.s steadily pushing his way to the 

 front. He knows a good thing when he 

 sees it and has that other, and none too 

 I'ommon, trait of being wise enough to 

 let Avell enough alone.

 of damage. Planting on solid beds 

 makes no difference so far a.s the thrips 

 ai'e coiiceined. All be(ls look alike to him 

 so long as the i)uds are on the plants. 

 Sjiraying the plants with a solution of 

 nicotine makes things unpleasant for this 

 insect, but nothing is really so offective 

 as catching them and killing them.' i 

 know this seems like a hopeless job, Ijiit 

 peiseveraiice will accomi)lish wonders.

ANOTHER CASE OF THRIPS. 



Under separate cover I send some in- 

 sects of which I find lots on my chrys- 

 anthemums. Will you please tell me if 

 these are the cause of the buds being 

 misshapen, oj)ening tlie petals only on 

 one side? T used to have fine mums and 

 have given flieni better care this year 

 than ever, 1 think. I planted on solid 

 beds this year. Is the trouble due to 

 that, perhaps/ X. N.
