Ga rden State ripens in Halehaven season two weeks after Early Flame. The tree 

 is large, vigorous and productive. The fruit is large, round, not too highly 

 colored but generally fairly attractive and freestone. The flesh is yellow, fine 

 textured, firm and very juicy. The quality is excellent. In some seasons the ^ 

 fruit russets and lacks red color. Also, it is veiy susceptible to hro^m rot. xn 

 spite of its faults, it is an excellent nectarine.

Schedule I (DDT, TDE, methoxychlor, etc.) versus Schedule II (Lead Arsenate): 

 rTs~best for curculio and codling moth; its use favors mites and possibly 



aphidsi special measures included to control mites, aphids and red-banded 



leaf roller. 



II is successful where curculio and codling moth are not too serious; if 

 following Schedule II and you are controlling these insects all right, there 

 is no reason to change; if interested in a better finish, ask your Plant 

 Pathologist about trials with captan. (U06) fungicide. 



Di nitro compounds for Domant ; Butyl phenol types preferred (Elgetol 318, DN-289); 



Rosy Aphid and Bud Moth; kills other Aphid and some Red Mite eggs; apply on a 



mild , quiet day in January, February or March before "mud" time. 



Oils; Buy only "superior" type; straight oil to be "tank-mixed" with blood albumen 

 is recommended because of known depositing characteristics and compatibility 



with ferbam and neutral coppers; use every year in Schedule II (Lead Arsenate); 



others urged to treat l/3 their acreage each year or entire acreage every 3rd 



year; DN's are not substitutes for oil and vice versa. 



BHC (benzene hexachloride) or lindane: will control Rosy Aphid vihen used with oil 

 at Late Delayed Dormant, or with a fungicide soon after Delayed Domant; BHC 

 much cheaper; a substitute for DN against aphids; useful in Calyx against 

 Apple Curculio (not plum curculio) . 



DDT: use either 1 l/U lbs. of 7^% or 2 lbs. of $0%', no new uses; still the best 



for Codling Moth; only 10-day protection against l.laggot; do not use m Schedule 

 II except in one, or at most, two applications to clean up leafhopper or 

 Codling Moth outbreaks. 



TDE (DDD) : specific for Red-banded leafroller; best used in Calyx or 1st Cover 

 and again in one or two sprays in early and/or mid-August; at same concentra- 

 tion it is equal to DDT against Maggot and nearly so against Codling I'loth; m 

 late sprays safer than DDT from residue standpoint; not needed in Schedule II. 



Methoxychlor ; best for Plum Curculio in 1st and 2nd covers or on fast-growing 



varieties and in "bad" spots use in Calyx also; use for Maggot in late sprays 

 and pre-harvest dusts; do not use in Schedule II except where Plum Curculio is 

 becoming serious or a late maggot treatment is needed.
