THE WHITE FLY. 



Please inform me in regard to a white 

 fly that infests my greenhouse. It is 

 about half as large as a white lettuce 

 seed. It does not confine itself to any 

 particular variety of plants, but is all 

 over the house. I cannot see that it 

 does much damage. I fumigate the 

 house thoroughly every week with to- 

 bacco and spra.y with Nikoteen once a 

 week, according to directions. A. W. 



You have the common greenhouse 

 white fly, and there is only one way 

 to get rid of it and that is with hydro- 

 •cyanic acid gas. It is an extremely 

 small insect and .does less damage than 

 most insects, but finally increases so 

 greatly in numbers as to do much harm. 



•Get some ninety-eight per cent 

 •cyanide of potash at your druggist's 

 and have it wrapped in 2-ounce pack- 

 ages. Take some half-gallon stone jars 

 and put a pint of sulphuric acid and an 

 •equal amount of water in each jar. Place 

 the jars in the walks in the greenhouse. 

 Then go to the farthest one and drop 

 in a packet — paper, string and all — and 

 move quickly to the next one. When 

 you get to the last one, at the entrance 

 to the house, get right out, lock the 

 door and stay out until toward morn- 

 ing, as the fumes are exceedingly poison- 

 ous. A second dose, about ten days 

 later, will usually get all of the flies, 

 which are easily killed by this kind of 

 fumigating, even if light. Three jars 

 to a house 100 feet long and twenty 

 feet wide will do the work well. 



Have the doors all secured, the pipes 

 set for the night, the vents closed and 

 any pet animals outside. What fumes 

 may escape will do no damage outside. 

 The house and the foliage should be dry 

 when using cyanide. Early the next 

 morning you can go in safely and open 

 the vents a little. Later empty the 

 jars of acid on the cinder pile or bury 

 the stuflF. H. G.
