SPEAYINO SHADE TKEES. 



I have a large number of forest trees, 

 including oak, ash, lime, maple, etc., 

 which I wish to spray at once, while 

 they are still dormant. What would 

 you recommend as a good mixture for 

 this purpose? I also want a mixture 

 to use for spraying the same trees after 

 they are in leaf. T. J.— Mo. 



For San Jose and other scales, which 

 attack many shrubs, some trees and 

 nearly all fruits, a spraying of the lime- 

 sulphur solution or one of the soluble 

 oils, such as Scaline or Scalecide, should 

 be given while the trees are perfectly 

 dormant. The trees you name are not 

 troubled by these pests, so far as I am 

 acquainted; nevertheless, such a spray- 

 ing will do them no harm and will kill 

 eggs of ^various kinds and thus help 

 to improve the trees. The oil solutions 

 are to be preferred. Give the sprayings 

 on clear days. Damp every portion of 

 the bark, using a fine spray nozzle for 

 the work. A proportion of fifteen or 

 twenty parts of water to one of the 

 oil solution is a safe strength to use.

PESTS ON IMPOBTS. 



The most important interception re- 

 ported to the office of the federal horti- 

 cultural board in the first two months 

 of this year, according to the state- 

 ment of C. C. Marlatt, chairman of the 

 board, in news-letter No, 17, is the find- 

 ing of egg masses of the gypsy moth 

 on cedars from Japan, in California. 

 Cocoons of the dagger moth have been 

 detected on numerous occasions on mis- 

 cellaneous nursery stock by inspectors 

 of Ohio, North Carolina and Nebraska. 

 This insect, the larvae of which appear 

 to be general feeders, is reported to

The list of pests collected, accom- 

 panying the news-letter, shows little of 

 importance. It may be remarked that, 

 if the number of cases of infestation 

 reported is at all proportionate to the 

 size of the imports, there appears to 

 have been no shrinkage in the impor- 

 tation of fruit stocks from France on 

 account of the war. Holland, as is to
