Some time ago the following was recommended to me for thrips, for inside use: One pound of Paris green, one pound of brown sugar and twenty gallons of water. Isn't this pretty strong? Was 200 gallons of water intended? R. E. M. The formula recommended to you is correct and, if applied with a very fine spray, will not injure your plants. Be sure that the solution is even, as the Paris green does not mix with water readily. The brown sugar will help to do that, however. A, F. J, B. FIT FOB PROPAGATION? Today I am sending you some shoots of carnations and should like to know whether they are affected with stig- monose. If so, are they too much af- fected to be propagated from ? S. H. The specimens forwarded were slight- ly affected with stigmonose, but unless the growth shows more than these shoots do, I would not hesitate to propagate from the plants, avoiding those which show more spots than others. If you can get enough shoots which are entirely free from these spots, it will, of course, be wise to use them. It is getting a trifle late to put in carnation cuttings for best re- sults, but if the cuttings are strong and they receive proper care, they will make fair stock. I do not know what variety these specimens are, but if you bought new stock you would probably get cuttings with as much or more of this disease in them than yours have. It is almost impossible to find any con- siderable amount of stock of a few of the older varieties which is entirely free from this disease. A. F. J. B. STIGMONOSE AND FAIEY RING. Under separate cover I am mailing you samples of Lady Bountiful stems, which are affected with disease. There seem to be two different diseases. Please tell whether I am correct or not. I call one a fungous disease and the other bacteria. Any information
