[T£ ON CYCLAMEN LEAVES. 



We are forwarding under separate 

 cover three cyclamen leaves. They 

 seem to be diseased. We have never 

 grown any before. We ordered 100 to 

 try them and they were in this condi- 

 tion when received. Will you kindly tell 

 us what to do, or whether there is any 

 hope of bringing them through f 



A. W. F. & S. 



The leaves are badly affected with 

 mite, for which there is no certain cure. 

 About every imaginable remedy has 

 been tried for cyclamen mite, with but 

 partial success. Constant sprayings 

 with nicotine may relieve the trouble 

 a little, or you might dip the whole 

 plant, pot and all, in tobacco water, 

 but when once the plants are badly at- 

 tacked the best plan is to throw the 

 whole batch away, as not only are the 

 leaves' deformed but the flowers also, 

 and the plants will be unsalable.

MEALY BUG ON BEGONIAS. 



Will you kindly advise me as to 

 keeping Lorraine begonias free from 

 mealy bug? Are watering and light 

 spraying overhead injurious! G. P. 



Spraying will not injure the Lor- 

 raines. In fact, it is the only way in 

 which you can clean out the bug. A 

 spray nozzle, properly directed, should 

 exterminate them. At this season it is 

 rather dangerous to fumigate with 

 hydrocyanic acid gas. This would kill 

 the mealy bug, but unless a really cool 

 night were selected the plants also 

 would be likely to suffer. C. W.
