is Bordeaux mixture, and this is now very 
easy to apply as it can be bought ready-mixed 
at drug stores. Directions are given on the 
package for using the particular mixture that 
you buy. 
There are a lot of other good sprays and 
treatments on the market, such as lime-sul- 
phur, and all have directions on the pack: Ze 
for their use. So much gardening is being 
done nowadays, that your local druggist will 
have a demand for spray materials, and wil! 
be able to recommend a good one for you. 
Mildew is another fungus disease, and it 
is easily recognized by its mildewed effect. 
(2). CHEWING INSECTS. These are 
easily recognized by the fact that they eat the 
foliage, sometimes the stems and _ flowers. 
DDT is the latest spray for chewing insects, 
and is very effective. There are a number of 
brands on the market, and again your drug- 
gist can be called upon for advice, and in- 
structions will be given on the package. 
The older sprays for chewing insects are 
arsenate of lead and calcium arsenate. 
(3). SUCKING INSECTS. Aphids, or 
plant lice, are the best example of these. The 
red spider is one of the aphids. 
Most of these are controlled by contact 
sprays, which burn the insects. Nicotine sul- 
phate is the best control for most sucking in- 
sects, but dusting with sulphur is best for red 
spider. But, really one of the most effective 
ways of controlling red spider is to simply 
wash them off with the hose daily. But be 
sure not to use too much force—just enough 
to wash off the spiders. They are generally 
most prevalent in August. 
On the whole, you are not likely to have 
much trouble with diseases. Should you have 
any trouble you do not understand, we would 
be glad to have you make use of your free 
consultation service.
