CURE FOR WHITE ANTS. 



I not© in the Review for August 5 

 the troubles of Mr. C. Vestal with white 

 ants, and can sympathize with him, and 

 believe that he will find a never- 

 failing remedy in Carbon Oil. I have 

 used it in many instances and have 

 found it instant death at all times. I 

 would infer that crude oil should be 

 eflScient, but as it does not appear 

 to have been, I suggest the use of 

 Carbon Oil, which is intensely penetrat- 

 ing. On benches, pour along the edges 

 and paint the sides; the bottom may also 

 be sprayed and painted, though if al- 

 ready infested it is difficult to get at the 

 pest there. Soak the soil, which, by the 

 way, apparently contains much fibrous 

 matter. I have never known the ants to 

 remain in any soil not containing wood 

 refuse or very fibrous matter. We at 

 times have had bulb boxes infested ; these 

 were of southern wood, which seemed to 

 contain the eggs. 



My first experience with the ants was 

 in the total loss of some palm seeds, 

 which were pierced and devoured in three 

 weeks. Have known them to ascend four 

 feet in chrysanthemum stems, and under 

 a sixteen-foot board outdoors have seen 

 them by the hundred thousand. 



Before filling any bench give a thor- 

 ough painting with Carbon Oil and I feel 

 confident that white ants and many other 

 pests will shun such lumber. Have never 

 known this painting to injure plants.

PECKY CYPRESS. 



Cypress manufacturers are trying to 

 interest the general public in the use of 

 pecky cypress for bridge, culvert and 

 sidewalk construction. They claim for 

 this wood that inasmuch as it is sawed 

 from trees which have been affected with 

 a rot disease, but have recovered, the 

 wood is therefore immune to rot, and is 

 particularly adapted for this kind of 

 construction. Not long ago the leading 

 selling agency did considerable exploita- 

 tion work to show florists how valuable 

 pecky cypress is for greenhouse benches, 

 with the result that nowadays scarcely 

 any other wood is used for this purpose. 



Manchester, Mass. — The greenhouses 

 belonging to Mrs. W. Scott Fitz, on 

 School street, have been cut into sections 

 and moved on wheels to her estate at the 

 Neck.
