rE 'TILIzE, CULTIVATE AND s.. TRANSPLANT NOW FOR
 BETTER SUMMER OVERS

The cure for these fellows is a good thorough spraying NvIth nicotine suI- phate in water. Get a small bottle of forty per cent nicotine sulphate and dilute this, according to direc- tons, and spray thoroughly two or three times at intervals of q few days With this treatment the plants can be thoroughly cleaned, but a careful watch should be kept for the return of the enemy and the same treatment repeated if necessary.
 For chewing insects arsenate of lead is the standard remedy but as some people object to using this on flowers because of the discoloration of the foliage, paris green may be used in it's place. Arsenate of lead, however, Is really more satisfactory because it stays on the foliage a good deal longer and there is less danger of accidental injury to the foliage than with paris green.
 Several of the diseases of peren- nials are very difficult to control For fungus and diseases in general, Bor- deaux mixture can be used but it's success will depend very largely up on beginning early, BEFORE any disease appears, and spraying ire growth pretty thoroughly covered. On plants near the house, where dis coloration is objected to, amm oniacal copper carbonate may be used in place of the Bordeaux mixture,
