BLACK SPECKS ON FOLIAGE. 



Under separate cover I am sending you 

 a calla, with a leaf, and also some other 

 foliage, on all of which you will see 

 numerous minute black specks, which ap- 

 peared on everything in two houses re- 

 cently fumigated with cyanide according 

 to the regular formula. The gas injured 

 some tender growth, but not seriously. We 

 do not notice any especially bad results 

 from the black specks, but we should like 

 to know if the gas caused them, or if it 

 is traceable to some other cause, of which 

 we are ignorant. If it is any evidence 

 of mismanagement, we should like to 

 know it; or, if it is of no consequence, 

 we should feel relieved to know it. My 

 foreman, a man of long experience, says 

 it is new to him. 



The houses were run on the dry side 

 for a day, preparatory to using the gas 

 in the evening, and was freely syringed 

 the following morning. On the morn- 

 ing of the second day after, as I was 

 making the round of the houses, I called 

 my foreman's attention to it and he 

 thought it might be due to a free use 

 of animal manure on the callas, but when 

 we went into the plant house and found 

 it on fuchsias, salvias, gladioli, smilax, 

 ferns and everything else, I felt convinced 

 the gas had something to do with it. 1 

 had a small batch of antirrhinums in one 

 of the carnation houses and these were 

 badly burned, but there were none of 

 the black specks either on them or on

 puzzled again. 



If you can give us any light on the 

 subject we shall greatly appreciate it. 



E. S. E. 



We do not think the cyaniding had 

 anything to do with the small black 

 specks, resembling thrips marks. A 

 more probable cause was the use of 

 strong animal manure in the houses, the 

 specks being caused by small insects at- 

 tracted by the manurial odors. These 

 specks brush off readily, do not in any 

 way injure the flowers or foliage, ex- 

 cept in so far as they spot them, and 

 are commonly seen after manure, either 

 as top-dressing or in liquid form, has 

 been freely applied. 



Cyaniding should be done with a tem- 

 perature below 60 degrees, if possible. 

 The higher the temperature, the greater 

 are the dangers of injury. You seem 

 to have used the gas correctly and your 

 damage has been comparatively trifling. 

 Tliere is no plant more easily injured 

 than antirrhinums. The tops of the 

 shoots will droop after quite a mild 

 fumigation with gas. Even adiantum, 

 mignonette, freesia and schizanthus, all 

 susceptible to damage from even nicotine 

 fumigation, will withstand heavier gas 

 fumigation than antirrhinums. We al- 

 ways like to ventilate freely before the 

 sun has a chance to strike the plants af- 

 ter using gas, and to give them a good 

 spraying over with the hose. C. W.
