The Market. ' 



We are having extremely warm 

 weather, after a splendid rain a few 

 'lays ago. June was a good month for 

 fhe florists, with many weddings and 

 :everal commencements. Flowers are 

 'plentiful. Home-grown Beauties are 

 :ine. Speciosum lilies are seen in some 

 ' f the stores and add much to the gen- 

 ' ral appearance.

GAILLABDIAS. 



What can I do for my gaillardias! I 

 have quite a number just beginning to 

 bloom. There are long green worms 

 boring holes in the stalks and destroy- 

 ing the plants. I pulled the first plants 

 affected and burned them, but there 

 are more worms. What can I do to get 

 rid of them? C. B. 



I do not know what particular cater- 

 pillar is causing the damage to your 

 gaillardias, but they undoubtedly can be 

 destroyed by spraying. Arsenate of 

 lead would be the best solution to use, 

 at the rate of four pounds to fifty gal- 

 lons of water, but this would whiten 

 and somewhat disfigure the plants while 

 blooming. Paris green at the rate of 

 one ounce to fifteen gallons of water, 

 or white hellebore, one ounce to three 

 gallons of water, thoroughly sprayed 

 over the plants, should clean out the 

 pests, provided the poison is not washed 

 off by rain for a few hours after being 

 applied. C. W. 



FEBTHJZEB FOB SWEET PEAS. 



What amount of bone meal should be 

 put in the soil for sweet peas in a house 

 23x200, which has 3,200 square feet of 

 bench space? What amount of pul- 

 verized sheep manure or shredded cat- 

 tle manure should be put in the same 

 house in lieu of rotted manure, the soil 

 being rich from outside manuring? 



C. G. P. 



I would not advise the use of bone 

 meal in the benches for sweet peas at 

 sowing or planting time, unless the bone 

 has been mixed in the soil for some 

 time previously. A much better plan 

 would be to apply it in the form of a 

 top-dressing when the plants show the 

 need of some food, preferably when 

 they are flowering. For 3,200 square 

 feet of bench space use 150 pounds as

a top-dressing, loosening the surface 

 after applying it and before watering. 



If you use pulverized sheep manure 

 and it is a good brand, a ton would 

 not be too much to apply, as sweet 

 peas like a generous soil. Of shredded 

 cattle manure, it would be necessary 

 to use half as much again of it to ac- 

 complish the same results. 



If your soil has previously been well 

 manured, the foregoing quantities well 

 spaded in or mixed with the soil before 

 being placed in the benches should suf- 

 fice. One or two top-dressings of sheep 

 manure or fine bone applied during the 

 growing season are beneficial. I would 

 use half a ton of the sheep manure at 

 each top-dressing. C. W.
