. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. New Greenhouses Built by the Bending Floral Co., Superior, Neb. but it is not good policy to leave this or any other late tulip more than three years without replanting in well pre- pared ground. Some of the Darwins will do well for a good number of years without replanting, but all varieties do better if replanted once in three years. Gesneriana is liable to become diseased if left over two years in one place, and I prefer to replant it every year. If you have not yet tried Tea Kose, also called Brimstone Beauty, I would rec- ommend you to do so.

These in- clude 5,000 feet of glass and are eight feet to the gutter and sixteen feet to the ridge. A view of the house devot- ed to carnations is also given herewith. INSECTICIDE MEN'S TROUBLES. The troubles of the insecticide makers continue—every few weeks the U. S. Department of Agriculture sends out a list of cases that have resulted in fines against well known, reputable concerns because the government" chemist did not find in the package the exact ingredients the label said were there. For instance, a bulletin released June 2 reports a fine of $50 against a maker of a nicotine extract because the chemist found per cent less nicotine than the label said was in the can. Many of the reports of fines for violations of the insecti- cide law as given out by the Depart- ment of Agriculture do not state how far the sample on which the case was based fell short of the claims on the label, but most of the cases reported seem to show the good faith of the manufacturers while they prove the inexactness of their manufacturing methods.
