To destroy the ereen fly, colonies of which congregate on the young growth of the rosebushes and Ruck the Juices of the plant, and other Insect pests, we gpray the bushes with tobacco dust after wetting Uiem so the dust will adhere. We have also found fresh white hellebore dusted on the bushes a very good remedy. A sifter can be made by punching the cover of a bak Ing powder can full of small holes and using the can In the snme manner as a salt or pepper shaker. The rose slug, a light preen worm that eats the leaves, may be control led by applying whale oil soap, one half pound dissolved In four gallons of water. The rose bug, a hard shell beetle that eats the leaves and bin 10ms and greatly damages the roses. Is best controlled by hand picking or knocking off on a sheet In the early morning. Rosebushes can be kept quite free of Insects, however, by liberally and frequently sprinkling with tobacco dust Rural Life Keep the Calvee "Coming."
