Injury to Field Carnations. ED. AMERICAN FLORIST :— Please inform me what I can do with cutworms, at least that is what I think ails my plants. My field carnations are looking fine, only where there seems to be something at work at the roots; they begin to turn light and die. I was afraid for a while it was a disease until my sweet peas began to do the same. I pulled them up and there seems to be no root to them. Now if it should be a cutworm what can I use to kill the in- sect without hurting my plants? Kansas. J- R- G. The trouble here is, without a doubt, caused by cut worms. These are usual- ly very troublesome when carnations are planted in freshly plowed sod ground and they are difficult to eradi- cate for the first and sometimes the second season. We remember having the same trouble with a batch it Jubilee when it was a novelty, It being so bad that the plants were put out one week, lifted and potted again with- in 10 days and housed as quickly as the space could be made ready for them In order to save what we could of the plants. We would not hesitate to ad- vise the same measures in this case if the conditions are bad enough to war- rant it. By scratching a little in the soil around the plants early in the day a great many of the worms can be caught and in this way "J. R. ; may possibly overcome them. C. W.
