such service as will cover the whole 

 ground — and some few have none at all. 

 Take, as an illustration, what this law 

 has done for New Jersey. New Jersey 

 had an inspection service which was not 

 adequate — that is, not all imported stock 

 could be inspected. As a result of our 

 notifications they discovered a nest of 

 gypsy moth eggs on imported stock in 

 New Jersey, a sufficient mass of eggs 

 to have started a good healthy colony. 

 The local officers presented this state 

 of affairs to the State Department of 

 Agriculture, and immediately that de- 

 partment was able to find funds to pro- 

 vide for ample inspection. Three addi- 

 tional inspectors were appointed, and 

 the requirement was made that nursery 

 stock entering New Jersey from abroad 

 should not be opened until an inspector 

 was on the ground to examine it. New 

 Jersey now has probably one of the best 

 systems of any state, indirectly result- 

 ing from the passage of this federal 

 law and the discovery right at home 

 of the danger they were in. The same 

 influence is operating in other states. 

 Kentucky, for example, which has been 

 one of the states with least provisioit 

 for inspection of nursery stock, has 

 taken steps to remedy this condition, 

 and other states are considering simi- 

 lar action." 



CULTUBE OF CELOSIAS. 



Will you, kindly furnish me with de- 

 tails concerning the culture of Gelosia 

 Pride or Castle Gould, which will en- 

 able one to have this plant at its best 

 during the chrysanthemum exhibition 

 period? W. N. 



Sow the seed about the middle of 

 AprU, in a warm greenhouse. Pot off 

 singly when of sufficient size, using a 

 light soil containing some fine, well de- 

 cayed cow manure. Shift to larger pots 

 as required. In June, if they are 

 plunged in coal ashes outdoors, they 

 will not dry out so much and will do 

 better than in a greenhouse, which 

 would often be hot. Good plants can 

 be flowered in 7-inch and 8-inch pots. 

 I prefer the larger size. For extra 

 sized plants, 10-inch can be used. At 

 the last potting use some fine bone in 

 the soil, in addition to one-fourth cow 

 manure, and feed liberally when 'they 

 are well rooted. Eemove the plants into 

 a light, sunny greenhouse early in Sep- 

 tember and they will be in good shape 

 for the early part of November. Plants 

 may also be grown outdoors and, if 

 carefully lifted, will do well. They are 

 not equal, however, to plants grown 

 along in pots. C. W.

 Robert Miller, president of the Miller" 

 Floral Co., Farmington, Utah, who spent 

 several days here last week on his way 

 home from a trip through the east, said 

 January 22 that of all the novelties 

 seen on his travels he was specially 

 pleased with Carnation The Herald. He 

 made a trip to Joliet to see it growing 

 and said it looked to him like a good 

 money-making proposition for his ship- 

 ping trade in cut flowers. He is ship- 

 ping over a wide radius in the inter- 

 mountain territory, where there is a 

 good market for red carnations, and he 

 left a good-sized order for cuttings of 

 The Herald for delivery March 1. ^
