SYRINGA JAPONIC 



By botanists the different species of 

 syringa are divided into tvro groups, 

 firstly, the true lilacs, represented by 

 Syringa vulgaris, and, secondly, the 

 ligustrina group, of -which Syringa 

 Japonica is an example. The members of 

 this last are distinguished from the true 

 lilacs by flowering later, and by .having 

 large panicles of smaller, privet-like flow- 

 ers. All of them are white in color. The 

 best of this section is S. Japonica, good 

 specimens being simply a mass of white, 

 covered with their large, branching 

 panicles of blossoms. The fragrance is 

 less pronounced than in the case of the 

 common lilac. At a little distance the 

 name of the group, ligustrina, is ap- 

 parent, says a writer in the Gardeners* 

 Magazine, as the inflorescence much re- 

 sembles that of some of the privets, such 

 as Ligustrum lucidum or L. Japonicum. 

 At all events, Syringa Japonica forms a 

 most ornamental small tree for a lawn of 

 limited extent. 



WIREWORMS. 



Prof. H. A. Surface says that the later 

 in the autumn the cultivation is continued 

 the better will be the success in destroy- 

 ing the larv8B of wireworms. If it be 

 continued until the soil is cold the pests 

 will be much less active in providing win- 

 tet retreats for themselves, and, there- 

 fore, will be much more certainly killed. 

 In fact, it is important that the ground 

 be stirred deeply just before the winter 

 freezing sets in. If the cultivation be 

 not late enough, the grubs or worms that 

 are turned up toward the surface and ex- 

 posed to the cooler temperature will have 

 time to work down where it is wanner, 

 and thus escape the destruction of freez- 

 ing and defeat the very purpose of the 

 cultivation. Thus cultivation can stop 

 too soon in the autumn, but cannot be 

 continued too late, if the purpose is to 

 destroy wireworms, grubwonns or other 

 pests in the ground. 



Springfield, Mass. — Ralph J. Bruce, 

 of this city, has purchased the farm for-

 ton, at South Deerfield, and will grow a

 is a successful grower of dahlias and 

 gladioli and has received first prizes at

 Heniy Barton on Elm street, held a for- 

 mal opening at the store, November 6.
