CHINCH BUGS. 



Will you kindly give me a remedy . 

 for destroying that little pest common- 

 ly known as the chinch bug? I have a 

 patch of asters that are growing nicely 

 and about half the crop coming on has 

 been stung by this troublesome pest. I 

 have sprayed with kerosene emulsion 

 and with nicotine solution, but neither 

 one had any effect on the bug. F. E. V. 



I regret inability to give any remedy 

 for the tarnished plant bug, or chinch 

 bug, as it is commonly called. This is 

 destructive on chrysanthemums, asters, 

 marguerites and that popular fall per- 

 ennial, Pyrethrum uliginosum, as well 

 as the annual chrysanthemums. Spraying 



with soapy, oil and nicotine solutions 

 have all proved futile. Possibly by 

 spraying with something bitter, such as 

 water in which quassia chips have been 

 soaked, its ravages might be minimized. 

 Not having tried this personally, I can 

 not state what its value is. It would 

 certainly be a great boon to growers if 

 some remedy were discovered for this 

 destructive pest, but at present none is 

 known, C. W. 



Montrose, Mass. — The Montrose 

 Greenhouse Co., which has a range of 

 rose houses at Wakefield, recently 

 bought a tract of land near the boun- 

 dary line of Wakefield and Lynnfield 

 and will build another section of 

 greenhouses, 60x300 feet.

Mlddletown, N. Y. — E. A. Lorent25 

 made a special trip out to Greenwood 

 Lake to see about a big decoration and 

 also to try out a new machine. His 

 stock looks well. It keeps his grower, 

 John Doughty, on the hustle to sup-< 

 ply enough flowers for funeral worlg 

 just now.
