process could be effected when you re-pot them. In 
the meantime the exposed parts of the pseudo-bulbs 
may be treated in the way we recommend. It 
should be done at once. We should be pleased to 
hear on a future occasion what success you attain. 
Next year when the leaves fall you might remove 
their sheathing base as a precaution.

INSECTICIDES. 
AN UNHAPPY EXPERIENCE AND ITS REMEDY. 
We have sold LEMON OIL many years, but we did not 
use it in our own nurseries largely, fearing it was too costly 
for use on a large scale. We relied on home made mixtures 
of Petroleum, Quassia Chips, Softsoap, &c. Our experience 
with these was an unhappy one. If the preparations (and 
we tried these articles according to many recipes) were 
made strong enough to kill the insects and eggs, they also 
killed, sooner or later, foliage or wood, and to be safe we 
had to reduce the strength, with the result that the plants or 
trees required frequent dressings at a large cost for work¬ 
people’s time. We ultimately tried LEMON OIL, and on 
15 acres of Fruit trees and 4^ acres of glass houses upwards 
0? £15 was saved in wages and cost of insecticides in a 
season, and the stock cleaner than it had been before. Any 
fruit grower wanting a good dressing for Fruit trees outside, 
gaideners or amateurs wanting to clear Vines, Peaches, 
stove or other plants of Bug, Thrips, Scale, or Fly should 
give this preparation atrial. It has been before the public 
nearly 7 years, and is still unsurpassed for quality or price.
