My plants are full of bloom at this time. 

 Let me give my experience with the scale. 

 I fought scale all one summer on my 

 oleander. The next spring I was dis- 

 couraged to find it as full as ever. I 

 placed it in the open ground where the 

 sun could shine on it all day and it did 

 not take long to scorch off the leaves. I 

 took it up, gave it fresh soil and put it in 

 the shade. It soon began to grow and I 

 have never seen a scale since.

[ It is to be admitted that scale insects are most 

 pernicious foes to plant life. The treatment 

 accorded your oleander seems rather severe and 

 almost as hard on the plant as the insects. Why 

 not try scrubbing the plant with whale-oil soap? ] 



ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES. 



Mrs. C. E. McConnell— A friend 

 tells me that ' ' insect powder ' ' will de- 

 stroy black ants on roses and chrysanthe- 

 mums. I have never tried it for ants, but 

 I have used it for lice on my tuberose and 

 it will not hurt the plants.
