their destruction.
In several cases practically complete
freedom from attack has been obtained
by applying two sprays of lead arse

the second three or four weeks later.
1t is possible to destroy the pest by
spraying at any time during the grow

the fruit has been gathered, but spring
is the best time, for at this season
other insects and fungous diseases are
to be dealt WITH and the sprays can
be applied for combined results. Gull

many curculios by breaking the CO.

Like the curculio, the grape root
borer is inconspicuous in all of its
stages. The borers rarely kill the
vines, but cause infested plants to

of fruit. the owner often being I'M
aware OF the cause. The newly Matched
larvae feed entirely on the roots, both
large and small roots being attacked.
The borer feeds over so wide an area
that digging for the pest as a practi-
cable method OF destruction is out OF
the question, and even soil fumigants
are, for the same reason, OF doubtful
value. The use OF fertilizers and thu
application OF other cultural methods
which promote rapid, vigorous growth.
offsetting the root pruning caused by
the borer, are the best known methods
OF controlling the pest.

The iris, which has as many differ
ent colorings as the hue of the rain
bow. might well be termed the queen
OF flowers; in fact this name has
been bestowed upon one of the Iris
Barbata, generally called the German
iris
In the olden days, when It grew in
the old fashioned gardens, 1t was IA
mliarly known as the F1eur de Lis.
Its blossoms were rather small, being
generally purple, yellow or white. The
only difference between 1t and the
water flag was that 1t had been cul-
tivated and therefore had become
larger and better developed.

lands or edging the brooks. heeiged

While it is possible to plant them in
the spring, the most favorable time
is from August to September. as this
