  Diaspis 
  pentagona 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  enemies 
  of 
  the 
  plum-tree 
  in 
  the 
  

   Argentine 
  and 
  is 
  best 
  combated 
  with 
  lime-sulphur 
  or 
  " 
  acaroina." 
  

   Two 
  appHcations 
  are 
  required 
  during 
  the 
  winter, 
  in 
  May 
  and 
  in 
  August, 
  

   and 
  in 
  spring, 
  spraying 
  must 
  be 
  effected 
  on 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  the 
  

   larvae. 
  The 
  acaroina 
  solution 
  (10 
  to 
  15 
  parts 
  of 
  acaroina 
  mixed 
  

   in 
  100 
  parts 
  water 
  until 
  emulsification 
  takes 
  place) 
  is 
  preferable 
  to 
  

   lime-sulphur 
  because 
  of 
  its 
  greater 
  wetting 
  power 
  ; 
  it 
  also 
  kills
