RED SPIDER CONTROL 
The common "red spider" becomes an increasingly serious pest of dahlias, especially 
when DDT is used for the control of other pests. Growers should familiarize themselves 
with the first evidence of the presence of "red spider’ and take immediate steps to 
control it. Safe, effective means are available (see page (69)).
