The Bud Moth. 101 



the blossoms open they will not have another chance to do it 

 nearly so effectively mitil the next sprins:. 



If the trees are usually badly infested with the apple scab or 

 other fungi it would be well to combine the Paris green with the 

 Bordeaux mixture, and in this case using about one pound of the 

 poison to one hundred gallons of the fungicide ; the poison will 

 adhere longer if applied with the fungicide. If Paris green only 

 is applied, use about one pound to two hundred gallons and always 

 add two or three pounds of freshly slaked lime to prevent the 

 burning effects of the free arsenic in the Paris green. Take 

 especial pains to thoroughly wet the buds on the smallest twigs. 

 With at least two thorough applications of Paris green before the 

 flowers open we believe this insect can be effectively checked for 

 the season. Do not spray when the trees are in bloom as many 

 honey-bees may be killed. 



The limited time during which this bud moth can be reached 

 by sprays renders it an especially hard insect to fight. It will 

 require thoughtful, intelligent, and persistent work early in the 

 spring to hold it in check.
