The Weekly Florists' Review: 



August 8, 1907. 



THE DEATH ROLL. 



Mrt. T. A. Herbert. 



Mrs. W. A. Herbert, wife of the flo- 

 rist, died at her home at Wellsville, O., 

 July 26, after a fourteen weeks' illness 

 of paralysis of the muscles. She was 

 born in Charlestown, W. Va., in 1851, 

 her maiden name being Julia Slaughter. 

 She was married to Mr. Herbert Febru- 

 ary 21, 1877. She was not only a de- 

 voted wife, but also a very practical 

 helpmate, for she gave Mr, Herbert much 

 assistance in his business. As they had 

 no children, her death leaves Mr. Her- 

 bert alone, both in his home and in his 

 business. 



George F. Brehmer. 



George F. Brehmer, one of the best 

 known members of the craft at Chilli- 

 cothe, O., is dead. The end came sud- 

 denly, heart disease being the cause. His 

 brother, C. F. Brehmer, will sell the 

 greenhouses and nursery to close the es- 

 tate. 



W. H. Traendly. 



W. H. Traendly, one of the oldest of 

 the retail florists in New York city, 

 died August 2, following an operation 

 at the New York Hospital. For fifteen 

 years he had been located at the corner 

 of Sixth avenue and Seventeenth street 

 and did a large business. He had been 

 in the retail flower trade for a quarter 

 of a century and in that time had seen 

 a great change in the business in that 

 metropolis. F. H. Traendly, the whole- 

 saler, is a brother. 



F. L. La France. 



Fred L. La France, well known as a 

 grower at Ebnira, N. Y., died July 24. 

 He had been in the business for a num- 

 ber of years and had built up a nice 

 plant from a small beginning. He had 

 made the carnation a specialty and when, 

 a couple of years ago, he incorporated, 

 he chose the name, the La France Car- 

 nation Co. 



Ulrich Arnold. 



Ulrich Arnold, for twelve years gar- 

 dener at O 'Fallon park, St. Louis, where 

 the S. A. F. was entertained on an 

 afternoon during 1904, died last 

 week, and his son, who was ill at the 

 time, passed away next day. A double 

 funeral was held August 3. 



SMILAX SHOOTS EATEN. 



Can you tell us what eats all the 

 young growth of our smilax? As soon 

 as it makes young growth, something 

 strips it. This seems to occur at night. 

 What can be done! H. F. C. 



Undoubtedly cutworms are the cause 

 of the trouble referred to. These are 

 frequently destructive to greenhouse 

 crops, doing thousands of dollars' worth 

 of damage annually to carnations alone. 

 These pests only work at night. They 

 can often be found by pulling out a 

 little soil around the base of the plants 

 attacked. Kill all of the dark-colored 

 grubs you can in this way; also look 

 over the plants at night with a lantern 

 and gather up all the grubs you can 

 find into a tin and destroy them. Mix 

 up some bran or shorts with molasses 

 and add a little Paris green or white 

 arsenic to it. Mix it thoroughly and 

 drop a little here and there in the rows. 

 The cutworms will eat this and many 

 will be poisoned. Hammond's slug shot 



is recommended by some as a good rem- 

 edy. Dropping a little carbon bisulphide, 

 a few drops in holes eighteen inches 

 apart each way, when the ground is 

 quite damp, is another safe remedy. It 

 will not injure the plants. Fill up the 

 holes as soon as you drop in the liquid. 

 The fumes are powerful and be careful 

 not to hold a lighted match or candle 

 while dropping ii in. Sterilization of the 

 soil before planting, where it can be 

 carried out, is the best of all remedies 

 for these and sundry other pests which 

 pepter florists. C. W. 



Adams, Mass. — A. J. Boothman has 

 torn down one of his old buildings and 

 will erect in its place a greenhouse 26x 

 40 feet.
