Some Insects and Diseases

We give below a list of vegetables, fruits and plants, and the insects or diseases that 

 usually attack them, followed by one or more letters. To find out what remedy to use, refer 

 to corresponding letters on pages 57 and 58. For instance: if an insect is attacking your 

 Asparagus, by referring to the list below you will find that it is probably the beetle that is 

 causing the devastation; the letters following Asparagus beetle are A L, P S and S S. By 

 reference to the corresponding letters on pages 57 and 58 you will find that Paris Green or 

 Arsenate of Lead in solution or Slug Shot blown on in powder form are the remedies to 

 apply.
