"IN ALL THAT IS GOOD IOWA AFFORDS THE BEST'' 



GLADIOLUS 



GROWN IN IOWA 



Every dollar's worth of bulbs that we had for sale in closing out the 

 Fletcher Bulb & Floral Co. stock that measured less than one inch, 

 except Midland .Mixture, has been sold. (See our ad in Review of Feb- 

 ruary 5.) ' 



We still have a fair stock of standard sorts such as America, Augusta, 

 Pink Augusta, Independence and Mrs. Francis King, in sizes above one 

 inch. If you are in the market for these, buy of us, and now. The qual- 

 ity is not excelled. We refund the money to any unsatisfied customer. 

 Ask Bradstreet or Dun's Agencies to get you a report as to our ability 

 to make our statements good. 



While this stock lasts we are allowing you to take 20% off Fletcher Bulb 

 <fe Floral Co. wholesale price list. No accounts opened at these prices, 

 hence cash or a cash deposit must accompany the order. No order accepted 

 for less than $10.00. Write us your wants.

get on the small mushrooms, causing 

 them to "fog off." I have replaced the 

 old soil with new, clean loam. The 

 question now is: How can I get rid of 

 the larvaj on the woodwork, and the 

 flies? A salt water solution as strong 

 as two pounds to ten gallons does not 

 do the work. Could I safely use fir 

 tree oil soap for a spray, and fumigate 

 with hydrocyanic acid gas without in- 

 jury to the growing mushrooms? What 

 remedies would you suggest?

Fir tree oil, if used, would probably 

 kill many of the larvae, but it would, 

 at the same time, render any mush- 

 rooms it might touch unfit to use. A 

 fumigation would be the best way to 

 clean out the pests. As there are, no 

 doubt, quantities of unhatched eggs, a 

 second fumigation would probably be 

 necessary two days later. Hydrocyanic 

 acid gas would be the most effective 

 fumigant, and a weak dose would suf- 

 fice. It would not harm the mush- 

 rooms. If the gas does not reach all 

 the pests, it may be necessary to bore 

 holes fifteen inches apart each way in 

 the bed and pour half a teaspoonful of 

 carbon bisulphide in each, immediately 

 covering the holes. While this would 

 not harm the mushrooms, it would prob-
