It must not be thought that every tree will 

 become a victim to each and every one of these 

 pests, but every one should be on his guard, so as 

 to be ready for battle, should the enemy appear. 

 To be forewarned is to be forearmed ; and should 

 the enemies appear on the scene, commence firing. 



Fr:MiGATiNG. — Whenever it is necessary to 

 fumigate a house, a qviiet night should be selected 

 if possible. The trees should not be syringed the 

 day on which the fumigating is to be done, and 

 the damping of the borders and paths should also 

 be withheld. 



Of course, the trees may be watered, should 

 they require it, but even this ought to be done as 

 early in the day as possible. 



The fumigating should always take place in 

 the evening. About 5.15 or 5.30 is a good time 

 to commence, unless the weather is very sunny, 

 and then it might be deferred half an hour. The 

 morning following, the trees should be well 

 syringed, but not too hea^'ily if only in the first 

 stages of growth. 



The syringing will ha-^'c the effect of cleansing 

 the trees from the dead insects.
