. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. ALIVE WITH THRIPS. I[ find that I have a battle on -my hanlds; my old carnations, on solid con- crete beds, are alive with thrips. At least, I presume it is thrips—a small insect, which hops about half an inch or 80 when touched. Today I had a bloom in my field and, to my surprise, I found it also stocked with the pest. I want to put my new crop in the same beds in August or September and I want to know a sure plan to keep them out of the new crop. I can heat enough water in my boiler to scald the beds after they are prepared for the plants. Th^ aisles are concrete and can be washed. J. L. V. About the only thing you can do toward exterminating the thrips- in your houses now, with a view to prevent carrying them over to next season, would be to give your houses a strong fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas when you have removed all the plants. If you can take everything in the way of plants out of the house, there will be no danger of injuring anything and you can then make the gas strong enough to insure the destruction of thie pest. However, that will only be getting rid of those that are in the house at the time and -will in nowise insure you against an attack next season. As you have noticed, thrips are present on the vegetation all around your houses and they will come inside right along unless you fight them off. The way to keep free from thrips is to fight them all the time. Start in the fall, as soon as your carnations have begun to grow, and spray regularly with one of the tobacco extracts. Once each week is usually enough to keep the plants clean, but in case you see them getting a start you can increase the number of applications for a time. "Keeping everlastingly at it" should be your watchword when dealing with thrips. A. F. J. B. THE SOIL, INDOORS AND OUT. Would you advise me to stimulate carnations planted in the field? If so, what kind of fertilizer would you use— nitrate of soda, dried bloo
