NURSERY PESTS 57 



No delay in dealing with any diseases should ever be 

 permitted. 



Apart from insects and fungi, much damage is often done 

 in nurseries by mice. The best means to adopt is to poison 1 

 them. Branches of gorse put round a bed will often keep 

 them off. 



1 In order not to poison game, the poison should be laid in drain 

 tiles hidden just below the ground.
