SAN JOSE SCALE ON LILACS, 



Can you give me information as to 

 how I can kill the insects on my lilacs? 

 All of the wood is covered with them. 

 I am sending you a piece of the wood.

It flowered with us this sea-

The New Rambler (Violet Bine), hailed 

 by the German roae growers as the 

 foremnner of a genuinely cornflower 

 bine rose, in a seedling of Orimaon 

 Rambler, very yigorone and hardy, and 

 free blooming.

The wood forwarded was completely 

 crusted with San Jose scale, one of the 

 most destructive pests to be fought in 

 America today. This scale will soon 

 kill a tree or shrub, unless remedial 

 measures are adopted. As soon as the 

 leaves fall, give the plants a spraying 

 of either the lime-sulphur solution or 

 one of the soluble oils. Probably one of 

 the oils would be the simplest for you 

 to apply, at the rate of one part of 

 oil to twenty parts of water. 



I have found Scalecide an excellent, 

 safe and comparatively inexpensive 

 remedy. It dissolves readily in water. 

 An application after the leaves fall 

 and another in spring, before the buds 

 have started, should practically clean 

 out the pests. Use a fine spray nozzle 

 and be sure to wet every vestige of 

 bark. Any remedy applied while the 

 plants are in leaf, of sufficient strength 

 to kill the scale, will also destroy the 

 foliage. Under glass or in sheds filled 

 with hardy nursery stock, hydrocyanic 

 acid gas is used to destroy the scale.

STORAGE OF NURSERY STOCK.

Artificial Refrigeration. 



In addition to the storage house or 

 retarding house, a number of American 

 nurserymen have provided an additional 

 precaution, for the purpose of maintain- 

 ing a low temperature in the storage

would be possible under ordinary ware- 

 house conditions, by the installation of 

 artificial refrigeration, consisting usu- 

 ally of a brine circulating system with 

 ice or ammonia coils as the cooling me- 

 dium. It has been demonstrated that 

 if stock can be maintained at a tem- 

 perature of 34 degrees in the storage 

 room throughout the storage period, it 

 can be kept fully twelve months with- 

 out severe injury or great loss. It is an 

 easy matter to hold stock six to eight 

 months under this temperature without 

 marked deterioration.
