covering with small screen-covered bottomless boxes. 
Tobacco dust, lime, ete., are repellents often success- 
fully used. 
(b) Large insects such as tomato worms, squash 
bugs, and various caterpillars may be picked off by 
hand and killed.

bage worm, potato-bug, etc., a solution of lead arsenate 
(about a teaspoonful to a gallon of water) sprayed 
upon the plants is effective.

coction or ‘‘Black Leaf 40.’’ 
(e) Ordinary blights and rots of garden vegetables 
are controlled by Bordeaux Mixture. 
3. Special care. Some of the plants of the garden 
will need special handling as the season advances. 
Tomatoes may be tied up to stakes; beans and peas, 
if of the pole variety, will need supports; celery will 
need blanching devices, etc. See directions for special 
treatment of such vegetables in the chapter discussions. 
4. Harvesting. Continue harvesting as suggested 
in May. Harvest head lettuce, bunch onions, peas, ete. 
Follow directions given in the chapter on putting up 
an attractive vegetable pack for the market. 
5. Succession cropping. To utilize the garden in- 
tensively, such crops as peas, radishes, lettuce, turnips, 
ete., maturing early, should be removed and followed 
by a succession crop of the same or another vegetable 
as the demands of the home or market require. 
6. Late planting. Plant sweet potatoes, late sweet 
corn, turnips, beans, late cabbage, etec., as succession 
crops.
