Apple Tree Pests 



A NUMBER of destructive enemies, aside 

 from scale insects, attack the apple tree 

 or its fruit in early spring. The presence of 

 the common apple borer may be detected by 

 extruded fresh chips or borings hanging from 

 the wound. The grubs may be cut out or 

 killed by inserting a hooked wire in the bur- 

 row. Egg laying and consequent infestation 

 may be warded off largely by banding the 

 base of the tree from the middle of May 

 through August with tarred paper, or even 

 newspaper, wrapped tightly around the 

 trunk. 



Several leaf feeders are quite destructive 

 to apple foliage and blossoms in early spring, 

 the most important being the bud moth or 

 bud worm, the cigar and pistol case-bearers, 

 and the tent caterpillar. The bud worm is 

 about half an inch long , with a brown body 

 and dark brown head. It occurs among the 

 webbed-together, unfolding leaves or opening 

 blossoms. The two case-bearers are easily 

 recognized because of the peculiar shelters 

 they carry around. The cigar case-bearer 

 has a long, slender, cigar-shaped, brownish 

 case one-quarter inch long, while that of the 

 pistol case-bearer is stouter and curled at 

 the extremity much like the handle of a revol- 

 ver. The bud moth winters in a minute 

 brownish cocoon spun beside some projec- 

 tion on the twigs, while the case-bearers live 

 in their peculiar retreats then firmly attached 

 to the bark. 



All are checked considerably by spraying 

 with the lime-sulphur wash employed against 

 scale insects. They can be easily controlled 

 by an early poison application, preferably 

 arsenate of lead, just as the leaves unfold and 

 where they are at all abundant, the treatment 

 should be as early as possible. The common 

 tent caterpillar is too well known to require 

 description. The brown egg-belts are easily 

 detected and cut off or the young pests re- 

 moved from the tree, though neither is neces- 

 sary where spraying is practised. 



THE COMMONEST WORM PEST 



The codling moth or apple worm is alto- 

 gether too abundant in most orchards. The 

 moths fly about a week after the trees blos- 

 som, deposit eggs from which young cater- 

 pillars emerge in seven to ten days, and then 

 after feeding a little on the foliage, usually 

 enter the fruit at the blossom end. The pest 

 is amenable to poison sprays. The first 

 application should be made soon after the 

 blossoms fall, and this may be supplemented

HARDY PLANTS 

 AND FLOWER SEEDS 



have a reputation of their own. If you want plants that will last 

 from year to year, get them from a hardy climate like Vermont. 

 New catalogue for 1906 offers all the most desirable kinds for the 

 decoration of summer homes, without confusing the purchaser with 

 the names of so many plants of doubtful hardiness and durabiliity 

 It includes herbaceous plants, wild flowers and ferns, shrubs, 

 trees, vines, bulbs, etc., for wet or dry ground, sun or shade, and 

 all for outdoor culture. Ask for it.
