WHAT I SAW. 



My Asparagus Plumosus was turn- 

 ing yellow. An examination through 

 a reading glass revealed nothing. 

 Then I got the magnifying glass, 

 which showed tiny black spiders with 

 white nests. 



Some leaves were dying on Sola- 

 num Grandiflorum. I examined one 

 through the glass. Wonderful! There 

 were great spiders running and fight- 

 ing. They were bright green with 

 black spots and many legs. Eggs 

 were all over the leaf. 



A salvia was troubled with that lit- 

 tle white fly, and the under side of 

 the leaves looked as though tiny 

 drops of grease had cooled on them, 

 the glass showing they were transpar- 

 ent green eggs not easily gotten off. 

 But careful and frequent washing and 

 constant oare in killing every little 

 white fly will flnally finish them. 



So use a magnifying glass even if 

 you think, as I did, you can see every- 

 thing, and perhaps there won't be so 

 many asking what makes the leaves 

 turn yellow on their plants.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT. 



One of the most beautiful window 

 plants I know, and one rarely seen, is 

 the double nasturtium. It is a rapid 

 grower and perpetual bloomer, and 

 seems to be entirely exempt from the 

 numerous pests that must be guarded 

 against with so many plants. Slips 

 root quickly in water, and indeed blos- 

 som well if kept in a bottle in a sunny- 

 window. Then, too, the old plant can 

 be set in the flower bed in summer, 

 where it is a host, and slips easily 

 started ready to bring in the house in 

 the fall. 



One of these young plants last win- 

 ter was the wonder and admiration of 

 passers-by, for it covered a fan-shaped
