3rd Application. 



SPRAY CALENDAR.— Continued. 



REMARKS. 



Just after fruit is form- 

 ed. Use A2, with 2 

 lbs arsenate of lead. 



For worms when fruit is ripening, use hellebore. 

 Look for aphids just before buds burst; if present 

 spray with Black Leaf 40 or kerosene emulsion or 

 whale-oil soap. Of little use to spray for these 

 after leaves curl. 



If anthracnose is very severe, set out new planta- 

 tion of healthy shoots. If disease begins, cut out 

 old canes and as soon as fruit is picked, also badly- 

 attacked new ones, and burn. For red rust re- 

 move and burn plants at once. No other remedy. 

 For crown gall set out plants in fresh soil, rejecting 

 any plant with a gall on root or crown. 



Plants and Pest. 



BEAN 

 Anthracnose and bac- 

 teriosis. 



REMARKS. 



Get seeds from pods showing no signs of disease. 

 Do not work among the plants if they are wet with 

 rain or dew. Spraying scarcely pays, as a rvde. 



TOMATO 

 Leaf blight, black rot, 

 flea-beetle. 



Spray plants in seed-bed with D. Keep foliage in 

 field covered with D until danger of staining fruit. 

 Add poison if necessary for flea beetles. 



ASPARAGUS 

 Rust, beetles. 



For rust, let no plants, not even wild ones, mature 

 during cutting s ason. Late in fall when growth 

 is about over, cut and burn old plants. For 

 b;etle , let poultry run in the plantation. After 

 cutting eason is over spray with arsenate of lead; 

 repeat in two weeks. May add sticker and a little 

 lime.
