- SCALE INSECTS come under this heading. There are a number of kinds, the one best known in this section being the 
Group San Jose. To be really effective this spraying must be done during the dormant period,—after the foliage has 
No. 1 dropped in the Fall and before growth starts in the Spring. Where trees are badly infested two or three appli- 
_ cations should be made, using one of the following. 
There are two general types of sprays to use against scale infestation. While LIME-SULPHUR is the older and still preferred by many, 
it is being largely superceded by OIL SPRAYS which are just as effective as the former and are pleasanter to work with.
