A SLUGLESS GARDEN
A slugless garden! Who would not breathe a sigh of relief at the mete thought of a garden from whence all the slugs and snails had vanished. The newest menace to these pests, and a very leliable one, is one teaspoon of Camfosa to a gallon of water, sprayed on to tho plants in the evening when tho snails are about to attack, or indeed at any time except in bright, sunshine. This will account for even' snail or other insect it comes in contact with, and will not injure the tenderest plants. For aphis a mixture of quassia extract and soft soap is effective. This must be made bitter; but not too strong.
