Summer Care of Evergreens 
With the advent of hot, dry Summer weather, evergreens 
should be given plenty of water and carefully guarded 
against red spider attacks. This pest is a very small mite, 
barely visible. If allowed to become numerous on ever- 
greens this mite will, through its habit of sucking sap from 
the foliage, cause the evergreens to lose their character- 
istic colors and assume a rusty appearance. Red spider 
can readily be controlled by the employment of one of 
the following methods: 
1. Syringe the foliage with water under pressure from 
a garden hose or power sprayer, taking particular pains to 
secure a forceful spray applied from underneath the foliage. 
This is one of the best ways of controlling red spider. 
2. Dust with sulphur liberally on a warm day, using a 
superfine commercial brand of dusting sulphur. The blower 
type of duster is best as the sulphur can be better applied 
to the under side of the leaves where red spider is most 
numerous.

No injury will result from any of these treatments. 
Syringing with water under pressure is also the best way 
to remove dust and soot in smoky situations. This should 
be done at regular intervals of a week or two in the Sum- 
mer and occasionally in mild Winter weather. Avoid 
spraying an evergreen in the middle of the day as water 
alone will sometimes result in injury by scalding at such 
times. Repeat treatment six days after first application to 
kill young spiders escaping in egg stage and remember that 
applications should be made as often as necessary because 
of continual reinfestation. 
Winter Care of Evergreens 
The care of evergreens during the Winter is often over- 
looked, and is sometimes the deciding factor in determin- 
ing success or failure in growing evergreens. As the leaves 
are retained the year around by the evergreen there is 
constant evaporation of moisture and the evergreen is 
likely to suffer from lack of water at times during the 
Winter. This is particularly true when they are in exposed 
positions, as at the house corners. To overcome this, 
protection by a burlap screen, or by wrapping in burlap 
is often necessary. To keep the frost from penetrating too 
deeply, a mulch of peat or rotted manure should be added. 
Lastly, if there is a thaw during the Winter, evergreens 
may be watered and the tops syringed. The latter is especi- 
ally beneficial if they are in smoky locations.
