JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



quassia or tobacco wash easily killed the aphis on garden peas, but these 

 sprays could not be conveniently applied to field peas, as there was not 

 sufficient space between the rows to allow their use owing to the 

 tangled growth. It was suggested that cultural methods could probably 

 be devised which would enable a check to be applied to the migration 

 of the pest from the clover to the peas, and in conjunction with this 

 the eradication, wherever possible, of the wild Lathyrus in hedgerows 

 was advocated. 



It may be added that during the entire Congress the hospitality of 

 the University was extended to the members, and several excursions 

 were organized for their benefit. Special mention may be made of 

 the welcome accorded by Mr. Lewis Harcourt, M.P., Secretary of 

 State for the Colonies, to his beautiful garden at Nuneham, and to the 

 reception by the Hon. Walter Eothschild at his unrivalled private 

 museum at Tring. The closing feature of the Congress, a banquet at 

 Wadham College organized by the Bursar, Dr. F. A. Dixey, F.E.S., 

 was also a great success. 



It was announced that the Third International Congress of Ento- 

 mology will be held at Vienna in 1915 under the presidency of Dr. A. 

 Handlirsch.
