INSECT PESTS. 



The insects most injurious that can be destroyed by combined 

 fungicides and insecticides are the codling moth {Carpocapsa 

 pomonella). Tent Caterpillar {Glisiocampa americana) , Canker 

 Wovm {Anisopteryx vernaia) , VlumCurcuVio (Conotrachelus nenuphar) 

 Rose Beetle (Macrodactylus sub-spinosus) , the Fotato Beetle {Dory- 

 phora decem-Uneata) , and the Strawberry' Crown Borer ( Tylodenna 

 fragariae) . 



FUNGICIDES {Fungous Destroyers). 



Of the many substances suggested for the destruction of the above 

 mentioned fungous growths, we recommend only those that are com- 

 paratively safe to use, and that have given decidedly beneficial 

 results. 



Sulphate of Copper, Blue Vitriol. 



Formula. Dissolve 1 lb. of copper sulphate in 25 gallons of water. 

 Used for spraying trees and vines before the leaves unfold only. 

 Sulphate of Iron, Copperas. 



Formula. Dissolve 1 lb. of iron sulphate in 2 gallons of water. 



Used for spraying trees and vines before the leaves unfold. 

 Bordeaux Mixture. 



Formula. Dissolve G lbs. copper sulphate in two or three gallons 

 of hot water. (If in a powdered form it will dissolve readily in cold 

 water.) Slake 4 lbs. of fresh caustic lime in water enough to make a 

 thin whitewash. When both are cool, pour the two mixtures together, 

 stirring thoroughly, then add water enough to make 25 gallons of the 

 mixture. Strain through a fine wire or cloth strainer before using. 



This is used for the destruction of all the fnngi mentioned, and 

 may be applied before the leaves unfold, and to the foliage at any 

 time without injury. It has been found that Paris green can be 

 used, without injury to tlie foliage in this mixture, many times stronger 

 than if used in water alone. 



Ammoniacal Carbonate of Copper. 



Formula a. Dissolve 6 oz. copper carbonate in 3 pints of liquid 

 ammonia, strength 22^. Dilute with 25 gallons of water. 



This is a cheap and easily applied liquid and is not injurious to the 

 foliage used alone but Paris green should not he used in this mixture., 

 as the ammonia will dissolve the arsenic and injure the foliage, even 

 when used at the rate of 1 lb. to 500 gallons. 



It is the best preparation to apply later in the summer, when the 

 Bordeaux mixture would injure the appearance of the fruit by 

 adhering to it.
