Peach Trees and the San Jose 

 Scale 



i AST spring we found that six young 

 *— 4 peach trees which were to bear their 

 first full crop had, as we supposed, been 

 winter killed. 



We were too busy at the time to cut down 

 the trees, and in due season a few blossoms 

 and some leaves appeared. The spark of 



The result of the scale. In the spring, when healthy 

 trees were in full leaf, ours were bare 



life seemed so very feeble that we had decided 

 to make away with them and plant others 

 when One Who Knew happened along and 

 said that, though the winter had been severe, 

 the death of our trees could not be laid to 

 the cold. He declared that the scaly, white 

 appearance of the old limbs and the reddish 

 brown spots on the new wood were nothing 

 else than the dreaded San Jose scale, and his 

 advice was to cut down the trees. As this 

 coincided with our own ideas, the axe was 

 raised, when One Who Didn't Know begged 

 to be allowed to experiment. 



All the formulas she had heard of were 

 either evil smelling, expensive or required 

 boiling; the latter operation with the large 

 number of gallons usually recommended 

 sounded too formidable, so she wrote to a 

 noted entomologist asking for a formula that 

 did not require that process. 



By the time the reply came and the mixture 

 was made the blossoms had changed to tiny 

 peaches and the trees looked worse than ever. 

 Nothing daunted, the One Who Didn't 

 Know had every bit of affected wood cut out, 

 which left nearly all of every tree on the 

 ground, and armed with a pail of the mixture 

 and a whitewash brush started in to apply it. 

 "But," exclaimed the One Who Knew, "a 

 brush is absolutely useless; you must spray 

 the trees." Having no spray and having 

 the brush, the One Who Didn't Know 

 reasoned out that, as the object was to cover 

 each part of the tree with the mixture, that 

 end could be reached with a brush as well as 

 with a spray.
