INSECTS INJURIOUS TO FRUITS. 103 



Remedies. The best way of avoiding injury from this in- 

 sect is by planting chiefly the pistillate sorts, as these are not 

 affected. In a small way, the rows of staminate plants may be 

 protected by mosquito netting or other covering until the buds 

 are ready to open. The application of insecticides for the pre- 

 vention of injury by this insect have not been especially suc- 

 cessful.
