THRIPS ON MUMS. 



Inclosed you will find a mum leaf with 



-puts on it. There are little insects on 



•lie leaves and, on putting one's finger 



< ar them, they jump and are gone. The 



•sect is about onesi.xteenth of an inch 

 ■'Hg and very narrow. ^Vllat remetiy 



■ ndd you suggest' ^I. C>. 



The insect is easily identified as thrips. 

 '' 1 the buds arc not yet showing color, 

 'le or two good sprayings on the under 

 de of the leaves, with a sprayer that 

 "iks in such a manner as to direct the 

 "W of water upward, will clean them 

 III. If M. G. had read these notes 

 irlier, he would have noted this instruc- 

 •<n before. 



.V solution of nicotine or Aphine, ap- 

 li''d as directed, will kill these thrips, 



It M. G. must use it carefully or it may 

 :i-'olur the flowers. C. 11. Totty. 



Gloria, President Taft and ^Mrs. Kelley 

 all sliowed color at the same time. Gloria 

 and President Taft are gone, but Mrs. 

 Kelley will not be fully open for two 

 weeks yet. They were all taken from 

 terminal buds. We are growing Bonnaf- 

 fon, (Jolden Kagle and Colonel Appleton. 

 but they are not in it with Mrs. Kelley. 



E. L. John SOX'. 



DicniTOX, M.vss. — Ellery B-riggs is in- 

 stalling a steiuii pump in one of his 

 greeidu)uses. He has picked several 

 thousand violets and has made a good 

 U^ginning in cutting his mum crop. 



COST OF METERED WATER. 



AVould ytui jtlease ask some of your 

 suUscribers who are using metered water 

 for growing roses how much they use 

 per 1(J0,UUU square feet of glass per an- 

 num, and what it costs them per 1,000 

 gallons. I am up against that query a 

 little in selecting a town in Utah for 

 my greenhouses. :ind 1 sliall appreciate 

 anv replies vou will get for me.
