California Privet 



^K^mm^im^m 



Grown as a Specialty 



You go to a specialist in other lines of busi- 

 ness because you know you will get the best 

 service. This applies to growers of nursery 

 stock as well. Give me a trial and be convinced. 



I have a large block to move this Fall, and 

 will quote you prices that will enable you to 

 get California Privet business. The stock will 

 be as fine as can be grown. Send your list at 

 once. 



I am grtwing California Privet to sell, 

 and I sell it. There must be a reason

season is closed they will disappear and 

 remain away from this section until 

 next spring, when nearly every one of 

 them will be here once more with a 

 request for work during the shipping 

 season. The winter will be spent either 

 in the large cities or on farms in the 

 warm sections of the south, to which 

 many of the men will drift in the 

 course of events. Most of the men 

 spend the money they secure at the 

 nurseries about town while here, but 

 a few have bank accounts here and in 

 other places and consequently have a 

 small sum on hand at all seasons. A 

 majority of them are sober and indus- 

 trious, but have the "wanderlust" fe- 

 ver and travel rather than remain in 

 one position for any length of time. 



Vegetable Forcing. 



CARBON AND LETTUCE. 



Can I use carbon bisulphid in soil in 

 the house with lettuce and not spoil 

 the lettuce for table use! Is it poison- 

 ous to persons, if used in the soil for 

 any vegetables? H. E. B. 



Carbon bisulphid can be safely used 

 in the soil lettuce is growing in, or, in 

 fact, for practically any other crop. If 

 the liquid should be dropped on the 

 foliage, it would render any such plants 

 unsalable for a few days, but the fumes 

 soon pass away and there WQuld be lit- 

 tle danger of poisoning. Bore holes in 

 the soil with a sharp stick, preferably 

 when the soil is damp, as the fumes 

 are then more penetrating. Pour a 

 teaspoonful into each hole, immediately 

 covering each with soil. Make the 

 holes twelve to eighteen inches apart 

 each way and the carbon will kill any 

 worms, larvse or insects which may 

 chance to be in the soil. 



Do not use any naked lights while 

 applying the carbon, as it is highly ex- 

 plosive in its nature.

The only case where I have found 

 carbon injurious to plant life was when 

 applied to plants in pots. In such a case 

 only a few drops must be given or harm 

 will be done. It is otherwise with crops 

 grown in beds or benches, where the 

 fumes are not confined within a small 

 area. C. "W. 



TO EXTERMINATE SOW BUGS. 



Please inform me how to get rid of 

 sow bugs out of doors. They are eat- 

 ing up my violets, pansies, lettuce, 

 beets and beans. F. W. E. 



I am not able to state what would 

 be the quickest way to exterminate 

 sow bugs in the field. Perhaps some 

 reader of The Review can give this in- 

 formation. In the greenhouse we for- 

 meriy used sugar with a little Paris 

 green stirred in it. We ran this mix- 

 ture along the edge boards in a tiny
