SPRAYING MATERIALS AND THEIR PURPOSES 
First determine the enemy or enemies you have to combat; then select from the materials listed below 
and on the two following pages the remedies most efficacious in your work. We have spray calendars and 
circulars issued by insecticide manufacturers that will be found helpful in many specific problems. 
""""““""“"“I SCALE INSECTS come under this heading. There are a number of kinds, the one best known in this section being the San 
Group Jose. To be really effective this spraying must be done during the dormant period,—after the foliage has dropped in the 
No. 1 Fall and before growth starts in the Spring. Where trees are badly infested two or three applications 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many, it is being largely superceded by OIL SPRAYS which are just as effective as the former and are pleasanter to work with.
