slum, ninety-eight per cent pure. Leave 

 the house immediately after dropping 

 in the cyanide, and do not let anyone 

 enter the house again the same night. 

 Remember that this is a deadly gas; 

 to inhale any is almost certain death, 

 so use every possible care in applying 

 it. It will be safe to enter the house 

 next morning. Open the ventilators 

 and spray over the plants. All moths, 

 aphia, etc., will be found dead.

The Bising Eastern Market. 



The strength of the market so late 

 in the season as the first week in May 

 is gratifying. Carnations are particu- 

 larly strong, fine whites bringing high 

 prices readily, while all good carna- 

 tions are in demand. Some say there 

 are fewer flowers, owing to the open 

 winter; others that the cool weather, 

 now past for the time being, has en- 

 couraged buying, while others assert 

 that the publicity campaign is bear- 

 ing fruit. Roses have not fared so 

 well. The supply has been enormous 

 since the arrival of the warm wave, yet 

 even roses have done better than usual 

 at this time. .Beauties have been in 

 strong demand at fair prices, while 

 white roses have also had good sup- 

 port. The Spencer, or orchid-flowering, 

 or Butterfly sweet peas have arrived. 

 They bring advanced prices. Good 

 sweet peas of the wintering sorts are 

 still having an excellent season. Peonies 

 from the south are here; in fact, the 

 early red officinalis is already over. 

 Festiva Maxima and several good whites 

 and pinks are in their prime. Both the 

 large-flowered and the baby gladioli 

 are features of the market. Cornflower 

 from indoors has come. Snapdragon is

 in good demand, but gardenias are not 

 often wanted. 



Florists' Club Meets. 



The Florists' Club held its monthly 

 meeting May 6. After reading the 

 minutes of the preceding meeting, Sec- 

 retary Rust read a transportation com- 

 munication on the route to be used in 

 going to the convention at Minneapolis 



in August. Edward Reid urged an early 

 decision, in order to give delegates 

 time to make arrangements and secure 

 desirable accommodations. 



Adolph Farenwald's paper on "Aflil- 

 iation" was followed closely and heart- 

 ily applauded at the finish. Wallace P- 

 Pierson spoke on advertising possibil- 

 ities as seen by the editor of a New 

 York paper. Robert Pyle addressed the 

 members on the importance of helping 

 the intelligent amateur. Charles Henry
