 Australian Sweet Pea 



A very strong rapid grower and thick and persistent, but sure 

 soon to be attacked by Black and Ivy Scale and Mealy Bug. 



English Ivy 



Easily grown and beautiful, but pretty sure to suffer from Ivy 

 Scale. 



Ferns 



Many kinds of ferns are attacked by the Hemispherical Scale, 

 and as the adults are almost proof against sprays, the affected stalks 

 should be cut out, and as the young scale appear, spray well and 

 repeatedly with kerosene emulsion. The potted and bedded ferns 

 suffer alike with this scale. 



Umbrella Plants 



(Cyclerus alternifolia) 



This plant is a prolific breeder of Mealy Bug, and should be very 

 carefully watched if grown. 



Papyrus 



Very liable to have Mealy Bug in the tops. 



Grevillea 



A thrifty tree, hardy to a temperature of 15 with reasonable 

 moisture. Large, showy, yellow bloom. Constant dropping of the 

 large leaves is often very annoying about dwellings and is an ob- 

 jection to the tree. Mealy Bugs, Black and Greedy Scale infest 

 them to some extent. Distillate emulsion is recommended. 



The Privet 



(Ligustrum) 



A small, pretty hardy, street and ornamental tree near the coast, 

 having only a little Ivy Scale as insect pest. 



The Jacaranda 



This easily grown novelty with its fern like leaves has a little 

 Black Scale with which to contend. 



The Pittosporum 



This hardy and much admired ornamental tree is much troubled 

 with Black and Greedy Scale. Frequent spraying with distillate 

 emulsion will be required to keep it clean.
