242 The American Florist. Jan. I, Certificate I'at Uoston, I Nov. I8S8. Keeping Down Greenfly. In the communications you have print- ed regarding finnigating, etc., I have seen no mention made of what has proved with me the best and cheapest method of keeping down greenfly. Of course it can only be done in this way by those who have hot water pipes under the benches. It is simply to place the tobacco stems on the pipes. I use at the rate of one ton of steins to 10,000 feet of glass, but think less at a time would do as well if the houses were clean of fly to start with. There was a considerable number of them in my houses when the stems were put on but it killed them in two days. After two months trial have vet to see any evil effects. ' E. H. NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
