LIST OF INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 



93 



SprayiuK is an insurance, and every fruit-grower and 

 gardener should insure himself' against failures in order to 

 succeed. In some seasons spraying may seem useless, but the 

 next season will produce results that will repay him for the at- 

 tention given. Spraying must be done thoroughly to be ef- 

 fective. It should not be done without the knowledge as to 

 the nature of the insects and how they destroy. These may be 

 divided into two classes, viz., (1) leaf eating, (2) sucking. 

 Both require separate treatments. The leaf eating caterpillars, 

 potato-bugs, etc., require a stomach poison, w^hich is sprayed 

 on to the plant and intended to be eaten. The sucking insects, 

 plant lice, aphides, etc., require a contact poison such as the 

 Tobacco Extracts, Kerosene Emulsion, etc., whereby their en- 

 tire body is covered with an irritant and their breathing pores 

 closed. 



The fungicides listed are to be used for plant diseases. The 

 cheapest and most effective way to combat these is to spray 

 early in the season and prevent same. Fruit trees, potatoes, 

 tomatoes, beans, etc., thus treated will thrive, w^here others fall.
