PEST CONTROL CHART 
Numbers used in this chart correspond to those assigned to the INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES listed on 
preceding pages. Where more than one number is shown, the Gardener has a choice of material to effect control. The 
order in which they are given indicates our preference, except 15-22 where either is equally effective. 
We have indicated the period during which it is considered best to apply the Spray and Dust Materials 
listed as follows: 
“D”—Dormant application during rest period in winter when deciduous trees have dropped their foliage. 
“SD”—Semi-dormant application, when leaf and blossom buds are swelling and show pink in Spring. 
“F”—Applications during period of leaf development and during full growth. 
Where indicator is not shown, apply soon as insect or disease noted, or during full growth as the case may b«.
