SCALE ON SHRUBS. 



Enclosed you will find a sample of 

 some sort of scale. Please name it and 

 give a cure for it. N. F. C 



This is the common brown scale, com- 

 mon on greenhouse plants and attacking 

 outdoor stock, especially in the warmer 

 states. The lime, sulphur and salt solu- 

 tion used for San Jose scale will kill 

 this and all similar scales. There are 

 also a number of specially prepared solu- 

 ble oils which are easily applied and 

 equally effectual. Kerosene emulsion ia

an easily prepared and reliable remedy 

 for scale insects. To prepare it take 

 one pound hard soap and two gallons 

 boiling water; dissolve the soap in the 

 water and then add four gallons of kero- 

 sene. Churn and mix thoroughly with a 

 pump. For scale this quantity can be 

 added to forty-five gallons of water. If 

 applied to plants with woolly foliage, 

 some burning may result, but those with 

 smooth foliage will not be injured.

PROPAGATION OF HYDRANGEAS 



Kindly let me know how to propagate 

 Hydrangea paniculata, O. P. M. C. 



Hydrangea paniculata can be propa- 

 gated from cuttings of half ripened 

 wood in July. The cuttings will root 

 quickly in a shady, sheltered place in 

 the open, but it will be better still if 

 they are placed in a frame, with a cov- 

 ering of slats over them for shelter and 

 shade, particularly for shade, until they 

 are nearly rooted. 



This hydrangea can also be propagated 

 from hard-wood cuttings in spring.

DISEASE OF PEACH FOLIAGE. 



We are sending you, under separate 

 cover, some leaves of a peach tree, which 

 are affected with some sort of disease. 

 When first attacked, the leaves become 

 a bright red color and then curl and dry 

 up. Is it a common disease f What can 

 be done to remedy itt I am located in 

 Oregon. B. to J. 



The foliage received seemed to have 

 been attacked by a form of peach bUster. 

 Weather and other conditionB, which I 

 do not know anything of, may have 

 caused the trouble. I cannot well sug- 

 gest a remedy without knowing more 

 about the disease. I would advise you to

PARK PICTURES. 



The exhibition of park photographs 

 which has been gotten up for the Alaska- 

 Yukon-Pacific Exposition under the au- 

 spices of the American Association of 

 Park Superintendents has now been put 

 in position in the Agriculture building of 

 the exposition and comprises undoubtedly 

 the finest collection of park views ever 

 exhibited in this country. The scheme 

 of such an exhibition was conceived by 

 the president of the association, John 

 W. Duncan, of Boston, and all the lead- 

 ing cities whose superintendents are mem- 

 bers of the association readily responded 

 with their quota of pictures for the ex- 

 hibit. They will remain on exhibition 

 till the close of the exposition. 



FUNGUS ON CURRANTS. 



I am sending you a sample of my cur- 

 rants. Please let me know what to do 

 for them, as some of them are quite 

 badly affected. V. C. 



The foliage appears to be affected 

 with a fungus. This need not cause you 

 alarm, as all similar ailments yield to 

 spraying with Bordeaux mixture or some 

 other fungicide. It will be late to ap- 

 ply any remedy this season. In the 

 meantime cut off and bum any badly 

 attacked branches. Next season when
