RED SPIDER ON CUCUMBERS. 



Can red spider on cucumbers be 

 killed? What is the cause of the pest? 



H. H. 



Ked spider is difficult to kill on cu- 

 cumbers. It comes only -when the at- 

 mospheric conditions are too dry. 

 Pressure of water, well directed, is per- 

 haps the best remedy, but the tender 

 nature of the cucumber leaves makes 

 it impossible to use strong pressure. If 

 you keep the atmosphere more humid 

 another season and attend to damping 

 and spraying more carefully, this pest 

 may not trouble you. C. W. 



KEEPING CELERY IN TRENCHES. 



Kindly advise me how to keep celery 

 in a trench. How deep and wide should 

 the trench be and how close should I 

 put the celery in it? What would you 

 cover it with? I wish to keep it until 

 about Christmas. The variety I grow is 

 White Plume. D. G. 



The best way to keep celery in 

 trenches outdoors is to grow the plants 

 in trenches dug out ten inches deep 

 and of sufficient width to accommodate 

 a double row. The plants can go ten 

 inches apart and the rows should be 

 twelve to fifteen inches apart. It is 

 then a simple matter to hill up gradu- 

 ally with soil and protect them. As 

 you have probably been growing your 

 plants in single rows, dig out a trench 

 eighteen inches deep and a yard wide 

 on any well-drained land. Lift with a 

 good ball and pack close together. 

 Every four or five feet put in a board 

 partition. This prevents heating and 

 the spreading of mold. Cover with soil 

 as you proceed, except the tops of the 

 plants; these can be covered later. 

 When all are covered, let the ground 

 freeze two or three inches thick be- 

 fore putting on a coating of straw, 

 leaves or some other mulch. A couple 

 of wide boards, nailed V-shape, can be 

 used on the top of the trench to throw 

 oflf the water. 



An easier way to keep celery would 

 be either in a coldframe or cellar, pack- 

 ing the roots in sand and airing freely
