fence laws, etc., wo can safely look for- 

 ward to the total eradication of the cattle 

 fever tick, one of the greatest scourges 

 to southern agriculture. "Without cattle 

 there can be no really successful agri- 

 culture, and with the cattle tick, we can- 

 not have the right kind of cattle. At 

 present very few southern cattle can 

 compete with the northern grown animals 

 on account of the continued sapping of 

 vitality by the tick. It is estimated and, 

 I might add, conservatively estimated, 

 that this insect is at present costing the 

 south $100,000,000 annually. Think of 

 what a vast amount of money this is, 

 and then picture to yourself some of the 

 advantages of tick eradication; the ad- 

 vantage of removing from the fair 

 shoulders of our bonny south the load of 

 this yearly depletion of her coffers. 



I could continue these comparisons in- 

 definitely, but as we are at this time 

 most concerned with tlie nurseryman's 

 side of the subject, I will speak only of 

 those things which bear directly upon 

 this phase. 



State Organizations. 



Almost all of the states in the Union 

 now have their boards of entomology, 

 crop pest commissions, or something of 

 the sort, which are engaged in protect- 

 ing the farmers, fruit growers, gardeners, 

 florists, etc., from the depredations of 

 various insects and plant diseases which 

 would otherwise soon overrun the states 

 and make the growing of any kind of 

 plant a practical impossibility. This 

 may seem a broad statement; but when 

 we think of the destructiven»ss of some 

 of our pests, and the wonderful powers 

 of reproduction and spreading exhibited 

 by them, we can see the truth of it. 



The majority of the organizations 

 were formed primarily to fight the San 

 Jose scale, the little insect which, thirty 

 years ago, practically unknown in the 

 United States, is today the most feared 

 pest in this country, by all nurserymen 

 and fruit growers. 



The southern states will serve as a 

 good example of the danger of deferring 

 the passage of crop pest laws until many 

 insects, which might have otherwise been 

 kept out, or their entrance greatly de- 

 ferred, have been introduced. Our crop 

 pest laws in most cases were not in- 

 augurated as soon as in the majority 

 of the more northern states and, as a 

 consequence, unscrupulous nurserymen 

 in the states having such laws and also 

 in other states, dumped a great deal of 

 stock, unsalable in the states having these 

 laws, into the states not so fortunate. 

 Here was where the southern states 

 came into possession of a number of the 

 insects of their neighbors. Had the 

 southern states, as a whole, been as wide 

 awake to the value of these laws as the 

 northern ones, we might have saved our- 

 selves thousands, yes millions, of dollars.

WILLIAM SAUNDERS 



The flowers are large, of splendid form, and are borne very freely in immense clusters. 

 The color is s deep rich shining scarlet slightly dappled with crimson. Foliage is a rlob 

 bronze. Height, 3^ to 4 feet. We believe that Wm. Sannders is decidedly the most perfect 

 Oanna of this type that has been introduced. 60c each; $5.00 per doz.; $85.00 per 100. 



OTTAWA 



Is a strong grower, very robust and 6 to 6 feet high. The flowers are large and beau- 

 tifully formed, color is carmine with tints of old rose and deep coral, add to this the silken 

 sheen and you can imagine the effect a few plants will produce. 



NOTE— We had this Canna on trial among the Canadian experimental stations last 

 summer and this is the official report of their expert: "Quite distinct and one of the most 

 beautiful shades of color I ever saw in Cannas. Of 70 massed in one bed during the past 

 season, this was the most floriferous in the collection, coming into bloom eaily and con- 

 tinuing until cut down by frost, as many as 13 expanded heads of blooms being counted at 

 one time on a plant, and not a poor one among them, all being of immense size." 50c each; 

 $5.00 per doz.; $85.00 per 100. 



NEW YORK 



Has the Orchid type of flower. They have much more substance than the flowers of 

 the other varieties of this class, and will stand the hot sunshine as well as the toughest 

 varieties of cannas. The color is a solid rich scarlet covered with a beautiful glowing sheen. 

 The flowers are large and contrast beautifully with the dark bronze foliage. 50c each; 

 $6.00 per doz.: $35.00 per 100.
