SPRAY CALENDAR. 



In the preparation of tliis calendar the most important points 

 regarding sprays have been selected and arranged in such a 

 manner that the grower can see at a glance what to apply and 

 when to make the applications. The more important insect and 

 fungous enemies are also mentioned, so that a fairly clear 

 understanding of the work can be obtained by examining 

 the table. When making the applications advised, other enemies 

 than thos6 mentioned are also kept under control, for only the most 

 serious ones could be named in so brief an outline. The directions 

 given have been carefully compiled from the latest results obtained 

 by leading horticulturists and entomologists, and they may be 

 followed with safety. 



Notice. — In this calendar it will be seen that some applications 

 are italicised, and these are the ones which are most important. The 

 number of applications given in each case has particular reference 

 to localities in which fungous and insect enemies are mostabundant. 

 If your crops are not troubled when some applications are advised, 

 it is unnecessary to make any. It should be remembered that in 

 all cases success is dependent upon the exercise of proper judgment 

 in making applications. Know the enemy to be destroyed ; know 

 the remedies that are most effective ; and finally, apply them at the 

 proper season. Be proinpt^ thorough^ and persistent. Knowledge 

 and good judgment are more necessary to success than any definite 

 rules which can be laid down. Black knots on plums or cherries 

 should be cut out and burned as soon as discovered. For alphides 

 or jilant lice use kerosene emulsion on all plants.
