of the latter not having sufficiently warm 

 houses for them. In summer they suc- 

 ceed finely in brick frames, and where a 

 quantity of young crotons, dracsenas and 

 other varieties of tropical plants are 

 wanted, frame culture will produce bet- 

 ter plants than can be had in green- 

 houses. 



Speaking of caladiums reminds us that 

 it is yet a little too early to start the 

 tubers of Caladium esculentum. The 

 middle of March is quite time enough.

THHIPS ON CALLAS. 



I enclose a calla bloom on which you 

 will see a number of black spots, which I 

 take to be some kind of scale. I have 

 fumigated freely with tobacco stems and 

 with nicotine extract, but this does not 

 appear to affect the scales. Please tell 

 me what these are and what can be done 

 to remove them. They are on all my 

 calla blooms and make them unsalable. 



A. A. 



Your calla flowers are infested with 

 thrips, not scale. This is a difficult pest 

 to eradicate when it has secured a firm 

 foothold. The thrips, both young and 

 adult, suck the juices from the flowers 

 and leaves of the plants they attack. On 

 the leaves, the small spots where the 

 sucking has been done soon turn brown, 

 making them present a speckled appear- 

 ance. On flowers, small, pale blotches 

 soon show on the petals. There were 

 many of these on the lower part of the 

 flowers forwarded. 



You must have failed to fumigate with 

 regularity, or the thrips would not have 

 got ahead of you. Get one of the to- 

 bacco extracts and give your plants a 

 spraying, using it double the strength 

 you would for aphis. Persist in this 

 until your flowers come clean. Syringe 

 your plants regularly, using a spray noz- 

 zle, and fumigate once a week. By fol- 

 lowing these rules another season, you 

 should have no further trouble with this 

 pest, "G. W.
