TEEATMENT of a plant, I have ob- served, will depend altogether on your estimate or appre- ciation of its na- ture and character.

Clean houses, clean yards, clean streets—pure food, pure water and pure air—these we demand for ourselves and our children. How about our rose plant^ If we permit our homes to -become- unsanitary, what will follow! Disease and death! If we permit our greenhouses to become unsanitary, what will follow? Just as surely as in the first case—disease and death. The result is inevitable. Beating the "; I have been asked times without number to tell how I have been successful in combating a certain pest, known in the trade as the Reinberg bug — a pest that has swept like a plague through innumerable rose houses, causing a h)M as great as $10,- 000 in a single year in some ranges.
