PESTS OF ORCHARD AND SMALL FRUITS 
called for in regular orchard spraying, will poison the larve before 
they fold the leaf. 
The Lesser Apple Leaf-folder (Peronea minuta Rob.) 
A greenish yellow, naked worm, a half inch long, with a yellow head, 
folds together the tender terminal leaves on apple trees, especially in 
nurseries. When attacking larger 
leaves, it often bends over and 
fastens only a small part of the leaf 
near the margin. There are three 
broods annually, the larve being 
at work first soon after the leaves 
are well out, again in June, and 
again in August. See page 300. 
To control, apply arsenate of lead 
in the spring as soon as the leaves 
are expanded, and repeat for the 
later broods.

turned down by a very small cater- 
pillar that carries with him a little 
cylindrical case made of a tiny sec- 
tion of a leaf, the hind part of his 
body protected by this case. The 
caterpillar completes its growth in 
June, migrates to a branch, to which 
it attaches its case, and transforms. 
The adult moths fly in July and 
lay eggs on the leaves. The young 
caterpillar first mines in the leaf tis- 
sue, and later constructs a very small,
