 Oleander 



Easily grown, beautiful but poisonous, even in odor, and a great 

 Black Scale breeder. Also has Greedy and Ivy Scale. Very diffi- 

 cult to keep clean. 



Castor Bean 



This plant should never be allowed to become two years old, 

 as the Red Scale then begins to breed on it, and it will soon almost 

 completely cover the smaller branches and thus be communicated 

 to other trees and plants of value. 



The Roses 



Many kinds of roses are very clean from insects, while others 

 growing beside them are covered with Red and Greedy Scale, and 

 are very difficult to clean. The Rose Scale (Aulecaspis rosae) is 

 very apt to appear on the older canes near the root, working thence 

 upward, and Black Scale sometimes gets started on them also. 



The Lauristina 



A very thrifty and beautiful ornamental shrub, but very subject 

 to black and other scales. 



Euonymous (A variegated leaf shrub) 



Very thrifty and easily grown, but quite subject to Black Scale, 

 Greedy Scale and Mealy Bug. 



Nightshade 



Very subject to several kinds of scale, Black, Red, Greedy, etc. 

 Should be destroyed everywhere, and especially should never be 

 allowed to grow in or near an orchard. 



Wistaria 



No trouble to grow when once established, though a little slow 

 in starting, whether set out or raised from seed. In the latter case 

 it seldom blooms until grafted. It is very subject to Mealy Bugs 

 if any are about. Also sometimes has a little wistaria scale. 



Climbing Potato 



A vigorous rapid growing light climber, but sure to be troubled 

 with Black and Ivy Scale, and very likely Mealy Bug.
