 render it popular. It makes a quick growth, is compact, of s:ood color, and stands 

 considerable rousfh treatment, adapting itself to almost any condition. It is of the 

 Scottii type, but not as stiff, the fronds drooping g:racefully, giving the plant a very 

 attractive appearance."

MAGGOTS ON ASTERS. 



Can you advise me what to do with 

 my aster beds? They were looking fine 

 until last week, but now they are dying 

 off. On cleaning them I find lots of 

 small white maggots on the stems. 



E. P. 



We cannot tell exactly, from your 

 description, what the maggots are. 

 Owing to the hot, dry weather, pests of 

 various kinds are having every oppor- 

 tunity to propagate and do a lot of dam- 

 age. Sometimes in dry weather aphis 

 on the roots causes great injury. For 

 this there is no real remedy, although 

 applications of tobacco water may min- 

 imize it. A better plan is to pull up 

 and burn the plants. The trouble is un- 

 doubtedly at the roots of your asters. 

 Drought may cause some dying off. Out- 

 side of watering, persistent stirring of 

 the soil is the best you can do for your 

 plants. The more you stir the soil, the 

 less will the root maggots or aphis like 

 it and the better will the plants grow. 

 It is surprising how much drought as- 

 ters will stand if they are in good, deep 

 soil, and it is frequently stirred. This 

 may not answer your question, but use 

 the cultivator more freely and see if 

 your plants do not pick up. C. W.
