TREE SPRAYING. 



Tree Warden Has Made Arrangements 

 for Protection Against Insect Pests. 



This year I have let the contract 

 for spraying the street trees to Cortez 

 H. Wood. He is to do it as soon as 

 the leaves are out enough to get good 

 results, and this will check canker 

 worms, elm leaf beetles, igypsy and 

 brown tail moths, and indeed all in- 

 sec, s which feed on the foliage. 



Messrs. H. L. Frost & Co., who have 

 done the Milton Town spraying for 

 se.eial years did not want to do it this 

 year, but they are I understand will- 

 ing to do it for their old customers. 



This letter is to call attention to the 

 fact that all arrangements for spray- 

 iny should be made at once. Those 

 \. t o wish me to attend to it for them 

 should write me without delay. Any 

 who prefer may of course write direct 

 to Cortex H. Wood, 11 Vancouver 

 stieet, Boston, or to H. L. Frost & Co., 

 (i Beacon stieet, Bos on, or to whatever 

 reliaLle mm they may w.sh to em- 

 ploy. 



In any case where I am to attend 

 to spraying, unless a preference is 

 stated, 1 shall get Mr. Wood to do it, 

 as he has undertaken the Town spray- 

 ing with the understanding that he 

 is to get what work he can on private 

 places. 



I feel veiy s'longly that a!l shojld 

 unite m spraying as only by a gen- 

 eral application of this method can 

 best results be obtained. There is 

 e ery lesson for supposing that in- 

 sects of all kinds aie to he .numerous 

 this year, as a canker worm moth is 

 already flying, gypsy moth eggs are 

 in all directions, brown-tail caterpil- 

 lars beginning to crawl. 



Therefore do not delay, but signify 

 your intention as soon as you see this. 

 The territory can be more systematical- 

 ly coveted if you write direct to me, 

 as if I find an occasional place unpro- 

 tected I shall make a special appeal 

 so that those who do sp ay may get the 

 best results. 



1 would add that as the street spray- 

 ing here is to be more general than 

 ever before, there will be not question 

 as to whether the apparatus can be 

 availed of in any particular section. 

 And I also wish to recommend every- 

 one to set up his own outfit in propor- 

 tion of course to the size of his real 

 estate holdings. 



Nathaniel T. Kidder, Tree Warden.
