Protection for the Crops 



Throughout the whole range of horticulture we meet these 

 undesirables, and if let go unchecked there will soon be 

 little of useful produce in the garden. The best way to 

 deal with these pests, as well as with fungoid diseases, is 

 to find out their habits and characteristics, and treat them 

 with some obnoxious application which will not do harm 

 to the crops. I would advise all readers to send an un- 

 stamped letter to the Secretary, Board of Agriculture, 4 

 Whitehall Place, London, asking for leaflets dealing with 

 insect pests and fungoid diseases having connection with 

 the garden. These will be willingly supplied gratis.
