CYCLAMEN MITE. I am sending you a couple of my cyela- men jilants and would like to have you ad\ise me what to do with them. I hiixc been growing cyclamens for the hast twenty yoars and have always had good success with them heretofore, but this year my jdants are all like these whi(di I ;iiii sending for your inspection. W.'ll. J.—Minn. The cyclamen plants have not come to hand, but I think they probably are at- tacked by cyclamen mite, which ruins many a fine batch of these beautiful win- ter-tlowering plants. It usually is noticed liist when the blooms make their appear- ance. These come deformed, streaky and (barker-colored than normal. It is al- most imjiossible to save a batch of jtlants after the mite is well (Established. Sj)rinkling the benches with fresh to- bacco stems from time to time seems to act as a preventive, as does spraying with nicotin(> extracts all through the growing season. Some good growers insist that if nicotine liquid is used once •a week and well sjirayed into the centers of the ]dants, the pest can be overcome. Nevertheless, our most successful grow- ers have been troubled by attacks of it from time to time. Weak fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas has helped to exterminate the pest. This cannot be used with safety, however, during the warm weather, and I w(nild ha\e more faith in nicotine sjirayings, using them while the sun sliines brightly, which is the time the tiny pests out from their hiding jilaces in the tlowers.
