GRAYISH BLUE CLEMATIS BUG. 



A southern subscriber would like to 

 know if anything will kill the grayish 

 blue clematis bug without killing the 

 plant. Paris green, strong enough to kill 

 the bug, will kill the plant also. I have 

 tried whale-oil soap and kerosene with 

 indifferent success. It seems to me that 

 a bug can take a dose of poison, go 

 home, and afterward lay a thousand or 

 two of eggs. F. J. U. 



I am not acquainted with the clematis 

 bug spoken of, but from what F. J. U. 

 says I infer that it eats the foliage of 

 the plants in question. Whale-oil soap 

 and kerosene emulsion, while excellent in- 

 secticides to use against aphis or other 

 sucking insects, which they kill by con- 

 tact, are valueless against pests which 

 gnaw and eat the foliage. To destroy 

 the latter a poison spray is necessary. 

 I would advise the use of arsenate of 

 lead, using it at the rate of five pounds 

 of poison to fifty gallons of water. There

is no danger of this burning the foliage, 

 and as it is of an adhesive nature it re- 

 tains its poisonous properties several 

 weeks. The water must be kept well 

 agitated, or the poison, being heavy, will 

 settle at the bottom of the barrel. 



In using Paris green again, it would 

 be well to add a little lime to the water. 

 This lets loose some of the free arsenic 

 and prevents burning. One pound of 

 Pairis green to 150 gallons of water is 

 as strong a dose as is safe to use. If 

 you will try the arsenate of lead, you 

 will find that it will kill any caterpillar, 

 bug or beetle which feeds on foliage, 

 without in any way injuring the foliage. 

 It is estimated that in Massachusetts this 

 year over 300 tons of arsenate of lead 

 have been used in the war on the gypsy 

 and brown tail moths, elm beetle and 

 other pests. W. N. Craig.
