THE LESSER BUD-MOTH. 15 



case of a bad infestation it would be advisable to make another appli- 

 cation of arsenate of lead when the buds are half open or bursting. 

 It should be borne in mind that thorough control of this insect by 

 use of an arsenical necessitates keeping the buds covered with poison 

 as nearly as possible from the time they begin to swell until they 

 are open.
