Do you recall the curled leaves, dis- 

 torted fruit and the sticky, unsightly 

 honey dew?

add an arsenical, this may be profitably 

 done as a further protection against 

 late-appearing larvae of the codling 

 moth. 



Sixth Application: Use bordeaux mix- 

 ture again two or three weeks after 

 the fifth treatment has been ai)plied. 

 This is the third application for bitter- 

 rot and is ordinarily suflicient to carry 

 the fruit through, but on specially sus- 

 ceptible varieties in bitter-rot sections, 

 a treatment to be made two weeks later 

 may be found necessary. 



Seventh Application: In severe cases 

 of bitter-rot a seventh application may 

 be necessary, and in severe cases of 

 blotch an extra treatment midway be- 

 tween the third and fourth applications 

 is sometimes necessary. 



Note: In the more northern apple- 

 growing secticms the first four appli- 

 cations will, during ordinary seasons, 

 be sufficient to protect the fruit from 

 various insects and diseases mentioned. 

 In the more central states, where 

 bitter-rot and blotch are prevalent, the 

 fifth and sixth applications will be 

 necessary. In the case of summer 

 apples, only the first three applica- 

 tions are necessary. 



PEACH SPRAYING 



There are four or five serious insect 

 and fungous pests of the peach 

 effectively controlled by spraying. Not- 

 withstanding the fact that the larger 

 commercial growers throughout the 

 country have adopted measures for the 

 control of these troubles, there is still 

 room for much improvement on the 

 part of many orchardists, especially 

 those having small home orchards. 

 .\llhough successful spraying of the 

 apple has been practiced for many 

 years, it is only recently that sprays 

 have been developed which are effect- 

 ive and safe for the tender foliage and 

 fruit of the peach and certain other 

 stone fruits. The development of the 

 combination spray of arsenate of lead 

 and the self-boiled lime-sulphur mix- 

 ture has been of enormous value to 

 peach growers, and its use has placed 

 ihe cultivation of this crop on a nmcli 

 sounder basis than heretofore. 



INSECT PESTS 



The Plum Curculio: This insect, al- 

 rcaih referred to under the head of 

 apple, is the cause of a large amount 

 of injury to the peach. Aside from the 

 injury which it actually does to the 

 fruit, its attack much favors the spread 

 and infection of the fruit by brown- 

 rot fungus. Its control is therefore 

 esijecially essential in connection with 

 remedial operations against brown-rot. 



The San Jose Scale: This insect, also 

 mentioned under apple insects, requires 

 treatment on the peach. .Applications 

 should be made while the trees are
