  the 
  pupae. 
  Detailed 
  instructions 
  for 
  doing 
  this 
  are 
  given. 
  The 
  

   time 
  to 
  spray 
  the 
  autumn 
  and 
  winter 
  forms 
  is 
  just 
  before 
  the 
  young 
  

   hatch 
  and 
  enter 
  the 
  fruits, 
  about 
  a 
  week 
  or 
  ten 
  days 
  later, 
  using 
  the 
  

   same 
  amount 
  of 
  poison 
  as 
  before, 
  but 
  rather 
  weaker 
  lime-sulphur 
  or 
  

   Bordeaux 
  mixture. 
  The 
  lesser 
  apple-worm 
  (Enarmonia 
  2)rumvora) 
  

   works 
  more 
  superficiall}', 
  and 
  when 
  present, 
  requires 
  a 
  spray 
  

   of 
  poison 
  when 
  the 
  fruits 
  of 
  standard 
  winter 
  varieties 
  are 
  

   from 
  1 
  to 
  IJ 
  inches 
  in 
  diameter. 
  Where 
  the 
  Curcuho 
  (Cono- 
  

   trachelus 
  nemiphar) 
  is 
  present 
  on 
  peaches, 
  spray 
  with 
  poison 
  

   directly 
  the 
  blossoms 
  drop, 
  using 
  2 
  lb. 
  arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  to 
  every 
  

   50 
  gallons 
  of 
  water. 
  To 
  prevent 
  injury 
  to 
  tender 
  foliage, 
  3 
  to 
  5 
  lb. 
  of 
  

   slaked 
  lime 
  should 
  be 
  added 
  to 
  every 
  50 
  gallons 
  of 
  spraying 
  material. 
  

   No 
  arsenic 
  compound 
  except 
  arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  should 
  be 
  used 
  on 
  peach 
  

   trees. 
  Two 
  weeks 
  later 
  another 
  spray 
  will 
  be 
  necessary, 
  this 
  time 
  

   of 
  self-boiled 
  lime-sulphur, 
  adding 
  2 
  lb. 
  arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  to 
  every 
  50 
  

   gallons, 
  repeating 
  this 
  about 
  a 
  month 
  before 
  the 
  fruit 
  ripens. 
  Self- 
  

   boiled 
  lime-sulphur 
  settles 
  very 
  rapidly 
  and 
  should 
  be 
  well 
  stirred, 
  

   the 
  arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  being 
  only 
  added 
  just 
  before 
  spraying 
  ; 
  fine 
  nozzles 
  

   should 
  be 
  used 
  and 
  a 
  uniform 
  coating 
  of 
  a 
  mist-like 
  spray 
  given. 
  The 
  

   same 
  general 
  treatment 
  for 
  pears 
  as 
  for 
  apples 
  is 
  advised, 
  but 
  in 
  using 
  

   dilute 
  lime-sulphur, 
  use 
  J 
  gallon 
  less 
  per 
  50 
  gallons 
  of 
  the 
  wash. 
  

  

  Plum 
  trees 
  infested 
  with 
  scale-insects 
  should 
  be 
  treated 
  as 
  recom- 
  

   mended 
  for 
  apples. 
  Just 
  before 
  the 
  buds 
  open, 
  spray 
  against 
  Curculio 
  

   with 
  dilute 
  lime-sulphur 
  and 
  Bordeaux 
  mixture 
  and 
  arsenate 
  of 
  lead, 
  

   2^-3 
  lb. 
  to 
  a 
  barrel. 
  Arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  is 
  preferable 
  to 
  Paris 
  green 
  on 
  all 
  

   stone 
  fruits, 
  owing 
  to 
  their 
  more 
  tender 
  foliage. 
  Immediately 
  after 
  

   the 
  blossoms 
  fall 
  it 
  is 
  essential 
  to 
  spray 
  again, 
  using 
  dilute 
  lime-sulphur 
  

   or 
  Bordeaux-mixture 
  or 
  self-boiled 
  lime-sulphur 
  and 
  2 
  lb. 
  arsenate 
  

   of 
  lead 
  to 
  every 
  50 
  gallons. 
  For 
  Japanese 
  varieties, 
  use 
  the 
  self-boiled 
  

   lime-sulphur 
  or 
  dilute 
  the 
  Bordeaux 
  mixture 
  one-half. 
  The 
  authors 
  

   mention 
  that 
  their 
  experiments 
  last 
  year 
  showed 
  that 
  dilute 
  lime- 
  

   sulphur 
  was 
  very 
  satisfactory 
  on 
  plums 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  easier 
  to 
  prepare 
  than 
  

   the 
  other 
  two 
  sprays. 
  Every 
  10-14 
  days 
  the 
  spraying 
  should 
  be 
  

   repeated, 
  especially 
  if 
  the 
  weather 
  is 
  wet 
  or 
  the 
  Curculio 
  is 
  serious, 
  until 
  

   there 
  is 
  a 
  danger 
  of 
  staining 
  the 
  fruit, 
  stopping 
  at 
  least 
  a 
  month 
  before 
  

   picking 
  time. 
  

  

  Cherry-orchards 
  infested 
  with 
  scale-insects, 
  should 
  be 
  treated 
  

   in 
  the 
  same 
  way 
  as 
  for 
  apples. 
  Just 
  after 
  the 
  blossoms 
  fall, 
  

   spray 
  with 
  dilute 
  lime-sulphur 
  or 
  Bordeaux 
  mixture 
  with 
  2 
  lb. 
  arsenate 
  

   of 
  lead 
  to 
  every 
  50 
  gallons 
  of 
  mixture 
  against 
  Curculio. 
  The 
  authors' 
  

   recent 
  experiments 
  have 
  shown 
  them 
  that 
  these 
  two 
  sprays 
  are 
  either 
  

   of 
  them 
  better 
  than 
  the 
  self 
  -boiled 
  lime-sulphur 
  for 
  cherries. 
  Should 
  

   black 
  lice 
  (Myzus 
  cerasi) 
  appear 
  on 
  the 
  leaves, 
  a 
  spraying 
  of 
  tobacco 
  

   water 
  will 
  destroy 
  them, 
  if 
  applied 
  before 
  the 
  leaves 
  curl 
  too 
  tightly. 
  

  

  On 
  grape 
  vines, 
  dilute 
  lime-sulphur 
  should 
  not 
  be 
  used, 
  as 
  it 
  

   stunts 
  the 
  growi:h 
  of 
  the 
  berries, 
  but 
  Bordeaux 
  mixture 
  is 
  efficient. 
  

   Just 
  before 
  blooming, 
  spray 
  again 
  with 
  Bordeaux 
  mixture 
  to 
  every 
  

   50 
  gallons 
  of 
  which 
  2 
  or 
  3 
  lb. 
  of 
  arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  should 
  be 
  added 
  

   against 
  the 
  grapeberry 
  moth 
  {Polychrosis 
  viteana) 
  and 
  rose-chafer, 
  and 
  

   if 
  the 
  latter 
  is 
  serious, 
  the 
  proportion 
  of 
  arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  should 
  

   be 
  increased 
  to 
  5 
  lb. 
  and 
  a 
  pint 
  of 
  the 
  cheapest 
  molasses 
  added. 
  

   This 
  spray 
  should 
  be 
  repeated 
  just 
  as 
  the 
  blossoms 
  are 
  falling. 
  

   Flea-beetles 
  {Haltica) 
  usually 
  appear 
  as 
  the 
  buds 
  open 
  in 
  early
