Root-sail or Nematodes. 



Under the head of diseases we would 

 now mention the so-called root-gall or 

 nematodes. This disease is produced by 

 a minute microscopic worm which infests 

 the roots, producing the galls. The nema- 

 todes live in the soil, and in order to 

 have the plants free from them, the soil 

 must be properly handled. Nematodes 

 are not usually very injurious to the vio- 

 let where the winters are cold and where 

 the soil can be frozen. It is in the 

 more southern regions that the nematode 

 is likely to prove dangerous. The freez- 

 ing of the soil, as already pointed out, 

 will prevent serious trouble from the 

 pest. We have used sterilized soil, pro- 

 ducing the sterilization with steam. On 

 the whole, however, I do not consider it 

 necessary to adopt this somewhat ex- 

 pensive process where the soil can be 

 properly handled, as already explained. 



Red Spider. 



One of the most troublesome insects 

 that attack the violet is the ordinary 

 red spider. There is little use in at- 

 tempting to destroy the spider after 

 the plants are once badly infested — bet- 

 ter by far throw the plants away. The 

 whole matter of combating this pest may 

 be summed up in one word — prevention. 

 Prevent the cuttings from becoming in- 

 fested, prevent the young plants when 

 set into the beds from becoming at- 

 tacked, and finally, see to it that the 

 spiders are not allowed to obtain a foot- 

 hold at any time upon the growing stock. 

 Syringing is about the only safeguard. 

 Where sufficient water pressure is not at 

 hand, it is best to use a spray pump. 

 We have devised a comparatively simple 

 nozzle for spraying plants — one that will 

 give a wide, fan-shaped spray which will 

 easily turn over the leaves, knock the 

 spiders off and yet produce no injury to 

 the crown. This nozzle may be attached
