VEGETABLE GAKDEN PESTS 



INSECTS 



Black or Collier fly attacks the broad beans, especially 

 in hot dry seasons. The insects injure the plants by 

 attacking the young growth, or tops of the stems.

Bean Aphis (Aphis fabae Pupa and Female).

The sap, running from the numerous punctures which 

 they make by inserting their probosces into the soft 

 tissues, accumulates on the stems, giving the plants 

 a dirty-looking appearance. . 



Autumn or early spring planting of the best seed, com- 

 bined with good cultivation, is to be recommended. If, 

 however, in spite of this treatment the tops are attacked, 

 which is very likely, cut them off and burn. 



Frequent syringing with soap-suds and soft-soap and 

 water, adding one wineglassful of paraffin to each gallon 

 of liquid, will do good. When paraffin is added keep it 

 thoroughly mixed by stirring when applying.
