board of horticulture is to designate 

 the manner and time of inspection in 

 each case, and the five days' notice 

 before shipment has by amendments 

 been made to apply only to uninspect- 

 ed stock. 



There are even yet many objection- 

 able iand useless features in the hor- 

 ticultural laws of the state, which the 

 Florists' and Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion hopes at some future time to see 

 corrected. 



The association is now endeavoring 

 to arrange for competitive florists' 

 and nurserymen's exhibits at the state 

 fair this year. The annual meeting 

 of the association will be held at Hel- 

 ena, during fair week, about Septem- 

 ber 26. W. J. Hugo has resigned the 

 office of secretary and J. W. Mallin- 

 son ha,s been appointed to succeed him.

PANSY FLOWERS EATEN. 



Enclosed you will find some pansy 

 blossoms, which are being eaten by 

 some insect. We have tried to find it, 

 but cannot locate anything. Please tell 

 us what it is and the cure. W. & C. 



This looks like the work of cutworms 

 and not of any insect. As these work 

 at night, you would be unlikely to see 

 them, unless you scratched the soil 

 away around the bases of the plants, 

 when you would probably discover some 

 of these arch pests curled up there. 

 Provided cutworms are the cause of the 

 damage, you can lay a poisoned mash 

 of fresh shorts moistened with molasses 

 and water, to which is added some 

 Paris greon. Cutworms seem to enjoy 

 this diet. Another plan, which entails 

 a little more work, but which would 

 probably prove more effectual, is to se- 

 cure some carbon bisulphide. Make 

 holes eighteen inches apart each way 

 and pour half a spoonful of the liquid 

 in each hole, immediately covering the 

 hole. This carbon is best applied when 

 the soil is wet. As it is an explosive, 

 do not use naked lights when applj'ing 

 it. Have no fear that it will do the 

 least damage to the plants. Carbon 

 bisulphide costs about 25 cents per 

 pound at wholesale. The cans must be 

 always kept tightly corked, as the car- 

 bon otherwise would speedily evapo- 

 rate. C. W.
