EntomoIogiSts Predict Scarcity of
the Ascension symbols

The Easter lily. the flower above all
others typical of the Lords ascension.
has been struck by blight this year
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. and
the greatest scarcity of it ever known
is threatened for Easter Sunday. The
disease originated i'm the Bermuda ISL
ands, where the bulbs are grown. and
has steadily become more prevalent every
year. Its ravages are not confined to
one locality. The flower is scarce
throughout the United States.
The disease first attracted attention i'm
1890. and an eminent entomologist was
sent to Bermuda to investigate After
studying the subjct thoroughly, be re-
ported that the disease was caused by
a small white insect. that burrOwed in
its vitality and rendering it useless. The
disease made such Roadway because of
the custom the Bermuda growers had
of cutting the flowers from the bulb the
second year and shipping them to this
country 10 be sold for Easter. The flow
ers had to be cut. so that not enough
stalk was left on the bulb to give il vi
taIity for the next season. In It's weak
ened condition 1t readily succumbed to
the rayages of the insect. and il was not
long before florists everywhere noticed

ease showed Itself in long. reddish
