IN SECTS &FUNGUS1 



We give below a list of vegetables, fruits, trees and plants, with the various insects or diseases (in italics) that attack them. Aftef*tbe Dame of 

 the insect or fungus, will be found one or more numbers, these numbers apply to the remedies given below, preference being given to the first mentioned. 

 Under the heading of " Remedies" will be found a complete list of insecticides and fungicides ; each remedy is numbered, in cases where different 

 forms of the same remedy are recommended, as in the case of Paris Green, each formula has a separate number. The advantages of this system of 

 arrangement will be quickly perceptible. For instance, if an insect is attacking your Asparagus, by referring to" the list of vegetables, you find that it 

 is the beetle that is causing the devastation ; after the name of this insect are the numbers 14 and 18, which are the numbers of the remedies that are 

 best suited to destroy it.
