The Florists^ Review 



August 8, 1912. 



this has been done in the last few 

 years that not more than 65,000 acres, 

 carrying trees from 4 years old up- 

 ward, will contribute to the crop of 

 1912. In 1910 the bearing acreage of 

 trees of 4 years old and upward was 

 estimated at approximately 32,000. 

 From this was taken a yield of about 

 10,000 carloads. The bearing acreage 

 for 1912 is estimated at about double 

 that of 1910, and while a doubling of 

 the yielding acreage does not mean a 

 doubling of the yielding capacity of all 

 bearing trees, apple men think that, 

 with as favorable prospects as were 

 ever known and the danger period 

 passed, as is the case in the north- 

 west section, it is not beyond reason 

 to expect a yield of from sixty to sev- 

 enty-five per cent more than in 1910, 

 which means a minimum production 

 of from 16,000 to 18,000 cars. The 

 planted acreage of this particular dis- 

 trict now carries more than 16,000,000 

 trees, old and young. Incidentally, the 

 apple experts are figuring on the pos- 

 sibilities of the section for future years. 

 Basing their calculations on the fair 

 preservation of old acreage, which is 

 being given good attention, and the 

 continual development of young trees, 

 they estimate a probable production of 

 40,000 to 50,000 cars by 1915 and of 

 120,000 to 140,000 cars by 1920, run- 

 ning an average of about 160 barrels 

 to the car. This, of course, includes the 

 contingency of average good weather 

 conditions for those years.

Complete Change Coming. 



In The Eeview for July 18 it was re- 

 ported that the Interstate Commerce

 classifications and practices of the ex- 

 press carriers, and will hold a hearing 

 October 9 on the question of a gen- 

 eral reduction of rates that will be or- 

 dered into eflEect unless the companies

 sequently there will in the next year 

 or two be a complete rearrangement of

TO KILL ASTEB BEETLES. 



Will you please tell me what to spray 

 my dahlias and asters with to kill the 

 aster beetles? They are ruining my 

 dahlias. C. M. W. 



Spray the plants either with arsen- 

 ate of lead, three pounds to fifty gal- 

 lons of water, or Paris green, one ounce 

 to fifteen gallons. If you do not mind 

 the white appearance of the lead on 

 the foliage, it will be the safer to use, 

 but when flowers are open on the asters 

 or dahlias it is better to use the Paris 

 green, as it does not discolor the foliage 

 and is easily washed from the flowers.
