﻿A NEW MEALY BUG 345 



Cut down the trees, grub out the roots, and burn all over the hole, 

 if your fruit trees are of secondary value to citrus growing. 

 If trees are valuable keep down all suckers and destroy the Woolly 

 Aphis by spraying with the Carbolic Acid Emulsion. It will also 

 kill the mealy bugs. Pour a weak solution of this emulsion around 

 the crown of the tree at repeated intervals of two weeks. 

 Spray when the tree is dormant, using ten gallons of the emulsion 

 per tree. 



Be sure that the spray is applied to every crack and crevice at not 

 less than 180 pounds of pressure. Repeat the application three times 

 at intervals of one month.
