C. t J. IMPROVED GANNAS^ 



The United States Government's Department of Agriculture has adopted C. & J. Cannas for planting In masses In chosen beds about the 

 National Buildings at Washington, D. C. This fact clearly shows the esteem In which C. & J. Cannas are held at the Department of Agri- 

 culture, rhe Improvement of the Canna has been made a study by our Vice-President, Mr. Antoine Wlntzer, for the past 17 years, and he has 

 given to the World a new race of Cannas that are a distinct advance in size of flowers, freedom of bloom and general robustness, over the older 

 sorts. All the experts who have seen them unhesitatingly pronounce C. & J. Improved Cannas far superior to those generally known and grown. 



WOULD NOT YOUR CUSTOMERS PAY A LITTLE MORE FOR CANNAS SO SUPERIOR?

the damage seemed to keep growing. 

 During the years of 1900 to 1905 no 

 money was appropriated for the work. 

 During that time the whole eastern 

 part of the state became infested with 

 them and the situation was so serious 

 that every city and town in the state 

 was made liable to pay for the exter- 

 mination of these pests. 



It is generally conceded that every 

 creature is put on earth for some rea- 

 son, but the only apparent reason for 

 the existence of the gypsy moth is to 

 give jobs to persons who are endeavor- 

 ing to rid the country of them. Pro- 

 fessor Bane stated that the subject in 

 itself was a large one and five years ago 

 the legislature saw fit to place this 

 work under the Department of State 

 Forestry. Paris green did not kill the 

 moths, which were rapidly stripping 

 the leaves from the trees. The state 

 legislature appropriated $26,000 to cope 

 with the work and managed to curb 

 the damage to some extent. 



Professor Bane exhibited charts 

 showing the increase of the territory 

 covered by the moths since 1900. Al- 

 though their gradual spread is toward 

 the western part of the state, the pre- 

 vailing winds are from the west and 

 their spread is slow. Up to this year 

 the state has appropriated $315,000 for 

 their extermination and each town pays 

 according to valuation, the state also 

 paying a certain percentage of the 

 amount used in excess of the appro- 

 priation. An understanding has been 

 reached with the United States gov- 

 ernment this year whereby the govern- 

 ment force will work on the picket 

 line and in that manner check the 

 spread to the west.

Professor Bane then explained the 

 manner in which the work of extermi- 

 nating the moths is carried on. In some 

 cases creosote is put on the egg clusters 

 and kills the eggs. Strips of burlap 

 are also banded around a tree and the 

 moths are destroyed when they are 

 found underneath. The manner of 

 spraying the trees was fully described 

 and illustrated, together with the vari- 

 ous kinds of sprays used. 



At the close of the lecture a number 

 of questions were asked and they were 

 ably answered. Professor Bane also 

 showed a picture of a sprayer that was 

 got up through the oflSce of the state 

 forester. It is an auto-truck sprayer 

 and cost about $3,000 or $3,500. It has 

 a tank with a capacity of 4,000 gallons 

 and will spray both sides of a street at 

 one time. Professor Bane stated that 

 at present he has a greenhouse 20 x 100 

 feet, with ten bushels of gypsy moth 

 eggs to be hatched out. He also has

the house planted with lettuce for them 

 to feed on. After they get to growing 

 he intends to have them infected with 

 some disease and then carry them to the 

 woods where the moths are the thickest, 

 so as to try the experiment of impart- 

 ing the disease to the others and caus- 

 ing their death. He also told of the 

 different parasites that are distributed 

 to feed on the gypsy moth. At present 

 one of his agents is in Europe trying to 

 find out the different pests that live on 

 the gypsy moth.
