The accompanying illustration is from a photograph of a pan which we are using for fumigating with tobacco dust. It is by far the most effective method we have ever tried, also easy to manage and inexpensive. Take an ordinary "dripping pan" 8x12 inches, cut the bot- tom out, leaving a margin of the same of one inch. Fold the piece so cut out to form a "leg," to tilt the pan, and rivet it on. Take fine wire netting, folding the four sides to give it strength, and insert in place of the bottom which has been cut out, letting it rest on the shoulders which were left. Fill about one-half full with tobacco dust. Put a little kerosene oil at lowest point of pan to ignite the dust. It will not flame but will smoulder for several hours and will eflectually dispose of the aphis. Eight pans to a house 18x100 are suffi- cient. The dust costs about 50 cents per 100 pounds and that quantity will fumigate twenty to 25,000 feet of glass two to three times. The writer is indebted to Chas. H. Allen for this method of fumigating.

Scott & Son's house of Crim- son Ramblers. The first sight of this gorgeous mass of bloom fairly takes one's breath away. They are individu- ally and collectively the finest I haveever seen. A very "creamy" lot of lilies are also to be seen here. They carry more flowers to the single stem than the great majority seen this season. W. K. Harris' house of bouga
