For instance. the type Of the common
chrysanthemum was yellow tinged with
purple anthocyanin. The pure yellow
variety has lost its plastids but not the
cell sap pigment and is an "albino"
with regard to the former. Only the
white variety has lost both plastid and
snthocyanin pigments; it is therefore

times jagged; nearly always guides for
the accurate adjustment and fitting OF
the adjacent parts can be found. When
this has been done pulyerize the soil
with the hand and put 1t back evenly
and firmly.
Continue to pile up the earth until
the mound Is one or two inches above
the break on the stem. The soil for
packing should be damp and well
broken up. and IL the weather be
cloudy no further precautions will be
necessary, but in bright weather pro-

affords. If the season Is very dry give
the plant a little water every day for
about a week. but always take care
not to wash away the mound OF packed
earth from the mended parts.
By this method injured plants Of
naturally quick growth can in nearly
every instance be made whole again.
The capillary system by which the sap
ascends is reestablished and nature is
quick to do the rest. In the course Of
"a few days the mended plant will
again be growing as vigorously as its
uninjured fellows.

liar change OF color lends force to this
view.
To conclude, the various causes
which are capable OF giving rise 70
variations within the species may be
summarized under the following head
ings. Similar factors are no doubt the
cause of the differences Of color be-
tween one species and another:
/. A purple red flower may lose the
power to form anthocyanin. This re-
suits in an "albino" with regard 10
that particular COLOR, which may BE-
either white or yellow, depending on
whether any pigment is present in the
plastid bodies.
2. A blue or purple flower may lose
the power to produce blue anthocyanin.
The result Is a flower still augmented
with anthocyanin, but red.
8. Conversely, a flower may lose the
power to produce red anthocyanin;
this results in a blue variety.
4. A flower may lose the power of
increasing the amount of anthocyanin.
The result of the reduced quantity Of
pigment is a tinged flower which is
pale pink or mauve.
5. Conversely, the loss OF power to
inhibit the full production Of antho-
cyanin causes a pale or tinged flower
to become a fully colored variety.
6. flower may lose the power to
produce yellow pigment in its plas-
lids. This may cause an "albno"
which is either white or some shade
Of blue or red, depending on whether
anthocyanin is present or not.
Z. Conversely, a red or blue colored
flower may lose the power to inhibit
the formation of yellow pigment. This
results in a yellow variety which is
orange or brown, IL anthocyanin is
present.
Obviously there are combinations
between some of these possibilities, and
these, together with the partial loss
of power to produce color which re
suits in the localization of pigment
and formation OF pattern, are tie

ties produced by the horticulturist.-

That even the belligerent strawberry
weevil, which often destroys as much
as rs per cent Of an entire crop, can
be warred upon successfully by dust
ing has been proved by figures which
show net returns of over 800 an acre
or a maximum increase OF 200 per
cent. for the treated plots in New Jer-
sey.
The magic powder is nothing more
than a combination of 1 part powdered
lead arsenate and parts finely
ground sulphur. which is sprinkled IN
the strawberry buds from the time
they appear until they burst. Although
not killed the weevil retires a respect
full distance and leaves the buds to de-
yolop In peace.
gist, began experiments in 1915, with
the cooperation of Mr.. Douglass. then
county agent for Atlantic county,
where the tests were first made on a
limited scale. So encouraging were the
results that the following year with
the assistance OF the county agents
more extensive experiments were run
in Cumberland, Burlington and Allan
tic counties, the results Of which con-
firmed the efficiency OF lead arsenate
and sulphur treatment.
Cheesecloth bags, the naked hand
and other devices were used by grow
ers who did not care to buy powder
guns. but to Tony Rizotte belongs the
honor Of evolving the most ingenious
hand device for sitting. He covered
a common wire horse muzzle with one
thickness OF copper mosquito netting
and drew the edges up to the rim.
The inventor then bent a three foot
hickory sapling. fastening 1t to oppo-
site sides Of the rim. This served as
handle by which the improvised bas-
ket filed with the powder could be
twirled with more or less force, de-
pending on the width of the rows.
Though there are many other types
OF busters on the market, Tony's
horse muzzle has proved the most
satisfactory for patches and small
fields.
Dr. Headlee has summarized the
results of these experiments very COM
prehensively in what is probably the
most complete publication printed on
the subject. Any one interested may
obtain Bulletin 1924, THE Strawberry
Weevil," by writing to the New Jer-
sey State Agricultural College at New
Brunswick.

There are many other good peren-

in gardening in planting perennials Is
that after planting nothing more is re-
quired than an occasional watering
and keeping the soil about them
stirred. Moreover the plants become
stronger each succeeding year and the
first cost is the only cost, while with
ANIMALS the seeds have to be bought
and sown every year. Surely the
perennials will prove satisfactory 70

OF why the same pigment may be o
different color In two species Is the
still more interesting question as to
the cause Of the appearance Of all the
multitudinous varieties which have
been obtained by hybridization in the
course of years of cultivation. Take,
for example, the, common sweet pea
about which perhaps more is known
than about the rose or the carnation.
The multitude of varieties within this
species comprehend blossoms of al
most every color and shade imagina-
BILE. How can a parent plant which
owes Its color to a single purple pig
ment produce not only such a profu-
sion of colors but OF patterns and color
combinations also? The science which
deals with the appearance Of sports
and the results of naturalization Is that
profoundly interesting branch Of biol
ogy called "genetics."
We have. however, no space for this
subject, nor any concern with II. The
color variation In hybrids and other
sports" may Of course be affected by
those conditions of structure, position,
concentration and chemical compost
ton OF the pigments which have al
ready been elaborated. One factor not
then mentioned, though without doubt
1t Is not only cause of color among
varieties but among species, Is the
condition in which the pigment exists
In solution within the cell. 1t has al
ready been explained how the color of
pigment may be affected by its COM
bination with a very common element
In the form of a potassium salt. An
other example is found in the common
geranium (Peldr0onium). The pig
ment from a certain violet red variety
has been purified and analysed. 1t
was found to be anthocyanin to which
the name pelargonin was given. When
the common scarlet geranium was ex-
amined in the came way It was found
to contain no pelargonin but It's tar
taric acid salt. This modification has
caused a change of color from violet
red to scarlet. So far the case is
parallel to that of the cornfiower and
Rosa 0dllicd, but there is another way
In which these acid cell saps may af-
feet the color. In addition to tartaric
acid numerous other acids such as
c!tric, &C. are frequently found in the
sap of plants. AS yet the evidence is
not complete, but II has practically
been established that these acids, in
addition to the formation of salts Of
ten affect the state of acidity or aka

IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.

The carrots which are to go into the
winter root cellar can be sown in the
middle of May, but carrots to be used
in summer and fall should be planted
now, one inch deep in rows fourteen
inches apart. Allow thirty seedlings to
the running foot, then when they are
well up thin them until they stand an
inch apart. Because they are easily
grown, hardy and nutritious, carrots
make a very satisfactory crop for the
home garden.

did ever bearing variety choose New
Zealand, which quickly develops fresh
branches when cut, thus supplying a
good crop all summer. The seeds Of
this should be planted twenty-four
inches apart in rows an inch deep
with thirty inches between the rows.
