GRASSHOPPERS IN ASTER FIELD 



In a recent issue of the Eeview a cor- 

 respondent writes as follows, over the 

 signature "H. C. S.": "I am intending 

 to grow a field of asters this season and 

 ij" ! wish to know how to prevent grasshoppers 

 (if they can be prevented) from ruining 

 the crop. Last year they literally de- 

 stroyed everything, ate up my gladioli 

 bodily, and everything in sight. I sprayed 

 ■with tobacco solutions and Paris green 

 without effect, but perhaps did not take 

 them in band soon enough. If you can 

 give any suggestions they will be appre- 

 ciated." 



H. C. S. can find relief by spraying the 

 borders of the field with coal tar, one 

 pint to thirty gallons of water, keeping 

 the mixture thoroughly agitated. This is 

 dirty stuff to use, but it does the busi- 

 ness. John Banks. 



TOLEDO, OHIO. 



The meeting of the Florists' Club, at 

 the oflSco of the Krueger Bros. Co., was 

 not well attended. The weather was 

 rough and the snow drifting made every- 

 body afraid to go out. Only seven mem- 

 bers were present. The next meeting will 

 be held at the Mills greenhouse on Starr 

 avenue, East Toledo. Mrs. Mills promises 

 doughnuts and coffee, such as always 

 draw a crowd. 



.John Barrow bought some lots next his 

 home and has moved a house onto the 

 ones that he bought from the new base- 

 ball park location. 



Business is reported good from nearly 

 all in the trade. E. A. K. 



A FLORIST is not a florist if he is not 

 in touch with the Eeview. — Jacob KaIt

YouE paper has proved very beneficial 

 to us this season through our advertise- 

 ments. — J. B. Shurtleit & Son, Eevere, 

 Mass. 



Not a few subscribers save themselves 

 the bother ojf annual renewal by sending 

 the Eeview/ $2, $3 or occasionally $5, in- 

 stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty- 

 two visits of the paper.
