C, and we think that we may be able to give some information that will be useful to him and others that are troubled with the worms. We have been troubled with the same worms about this time every year. We call them army worms. They are green and dark brown in color, and work all through the day. We have used mostly arsenate of lead, mixing it according to directions on jar and spraying with a fine spray. We go over our ferns about three times a week. We know this kills them, be- cause we have found large ones dried' up on the ferns. Another remedy we have used is bran, Paris green and syrup mixed together. Enough Paris green should be mixed with the bran so that you can see a greenish tint. Mix a 4ittle water with the syrup; then add enough to the bran and Paris green to make the mixture soft and mealy. Put this among the ferns, and it will give the worms a stomach ache.

In our ten years' existence we have received good, bad and indifferent stock, when first-class stock was or- dered. Three years ago we adopted John Wanaraaker's policy, "Your money back if dissatisfied," and recom- mend the system to florists generally, as we believe i
