SUMMEE TREATMENT OF SAN JOSE SCALE 



ADVICE BY 



MR. G. E. FISHER, 



PROVINCIAL INSPECTOR. 



THE cuts below clearly represent the im- 

 portance of treating in summer trees 

 which are badly infested with the San Jose 

 Scale. 



During the last week in August 1901, 

 the tree at the left ( i ) was so affected that 

 several limbs were already dead, and that 

 at the right (2) not nearly so badly but had 

 a good sprinkling of scale. At this date

 Treatment. 



Fig. 2466. Slightly Infested Tree, Untreated. 



the dead branches were removed and the 

 badly infested tree treated with twenty per 

 cent, of crude petroleum and water, and 

 the other tree left unsprayed. 



The cuts show how the trees leafed out 

 this spring. The treated tree blossomed 

 and bore fruit this year, while the scale in- 

 creased on the other during last fall and 

 sucked the life out of two thirds of the top.
