Spray P rogram For Home 
Fruit Gardens 
In the tables given below no reference is given to the new 
sprays some of which appear to be superior to the older types. 
It is felt that more useful information would be: time to spray, 
what to spray for, and proven standard materials to use. With this 
basic information the reader is in a position to choose intelligently 
from the many new materials which are available. We particu- 
larly recommend, however, DDT, Paration, and Fermate for trial. 
In the small garden containing only a few trees, shrubs, roses 
and berry bushes we recommend the new all-purpose dusts and 
sprays. They have given excellent control of pests in many cases.

NOTE: Apple maggot is one of the most serious pests in the farm 
orchard. Picking up the dropped fruit under all trees at weekly 
intervals, beginning July 15, and feeding the fruit immediately 
to hogs or burying it under a foot of packed soil will aid 
greatly in controlling this pest.
