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LIME-SULPHUR is the older and still preferred by many, it is being largely superseded by OIL SPRAYS which 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