He had been agreeably surprised at the change ln the horticultural situation since he was here ln 197. He saw a great fu: ture for gardening In and around .this .city. In the matter of advice, Mr. Clarke urged that the local society or a group of members purchase at least one blow torch for the pur-" pose of burning' the weeds and killing Insects around their gardens. This was a very effective way of controlling weed seeds and many Insects, fungi growths and slugs. The torches had been In use for this purpose for. about three years and their use was spreading. A lot of eround could be covered at little cost In money or time. The (cost was $25 for the torch. i Mr. Clarke eave a number of dusting preparations such as blue- ' stone and lime, one par to 9 to be dusted lightly on the plants at .frequent Intervals.
