pretty well between waterings. A good 

 temperature for smilax is 55 to 60 de- 

 grees at night, but it will grow in a 

 considerably cooler house. When you 

 apply water let it be in sufficient quan- 

 tities to soak the soil well. C. W. 



FIOHTINa APHIS. 



With the arrival of warmer weather, 

 green and black aphis will appear in 

 vast numbers on many trees and shrubs, 

 and lots of customers will be asking 

 you how to get rid of them. Whale 

 oil soap, one pound to six or eight gal- 

 lons of water, is a good remedy. Nico- 

 tine extracts are reliable, but more 

 costly. The best, least expensive and 

 most easily prepared insecticide is kero- 

 sene emulsion. Shave down a pound 

 of any hard soap fine; add two gallons 

 of water; boil until soap is dissolved; 

 add four gallons of kerosene; keep agi- 

 tated for ten minutes, and then pour 

 the emulsion into any tight cask. Be- 

 fore using, first melt the emulsion and 

 use at the rate of fifteen parts water 

 to one of the emulsion. In addition to 

 hardy trees and shrubs, this is excel- 

 lent for chrysanthemums, roses out- 

 doors, or any other plants which have 

 smooth leaves. Do not, however, use it 

 on show pelargoniums, cucumbers, 

 melons or any plants with soft or woolly 

 foliage. Kerosene emulsion is also use- 

 ful when fighting oyster shell or scurfy 

 scale and for the pupse of elm beetles 

 as they descend the trees. For these 

 use at the rate of five to one. 



SPANISH IBIS. 



Kindly advise me if Spanish iris can 

 be grown in a coldframe. If so, when 

 should they be planted, how thick and 

 about what time would they bloom t If 

 planted outside will they bloom about 

 Memorial day! Are the mixtures satis- 

 factory, or is it better to plant the 

 named varieties T I live in Michigan. 



H. H. G. 



Spanish iris does well grown either in 

 flats or planted directly in coldframes. 

 The bulbs usually arrive in October and 

 can be planted at once. As they are 

 slender growing, they can go fairly 

 close together, three inches apart each 

 way, or plant in rows four inches apart 

 and allow two inches between the bulbs. 

 In coldf rames they will easily bloom for 

 Memorial day. 



Plant bulbs outdoors on any well- 

 drained ground about the end of Octo- 

 ber. They are perfectly, hardy. In 

 Massachusetts the usual flowering time 

 is June 15 to 30. With you they would 

 be rather earlier. The named varieties 

 are ine:q>0nsive and decidedly prefera- 

 ble to the mixtures. The following are 

 excellent sorts: Louise, pale blue; 

 chrysolora, golden yellow; Midley, pale 

 blue; Thunderbolt, deep bronze; Ca- 

 janus, yellow; British Queen, pure white, 

 large. Immediately following the Span- 

 ish iris come the English iris, which are 

 also splendid for cutting and quite 

 hardy. Allow the English iris six to 

 eight inches apart each way, and the 

 Spanish iris four to five inches each 

 way. The former variety has heavier 

 foliage. W. N. C.
