202 Tall Bearded Iris 



It will be well to repeat the spraying several times, 

 at intervals of a day or two, as not all the eggs hatch 

 at the same time. Repeated spraying is advisable 

 from the fact, also, that at best but a small proportion 

 of the spray will adhere to the foliage. A little later 

 the plants should be looked over occasionally for signs 

 of larvae in the leaves, and, if any are found to have 

 entered, those which have just entered can be killed 

 by pressure and the others should be dug out. 



After the garden has been once thoroughly cleared 

 of the pest it is not likely to be troubled by it again 

 unless it is brought in with other plants from some 

 infected source, as the moth is rather local in its 

 work, seldom flying far from where it emerged from 

 the pupal stage.
