Just a Few Hints on 
Pest Control 
and 
Harvesting 
It’s not hard to keep pests under control if 
you make a daily inspection of your garden. 
Begin spraying or dusting at the first sign 
of damage—don’t wait until the plants are 
seriously Injured. 
The principal reason for cultivation is. to 
kill weeds. It’s not necessary or desirable to 
stir the soil deeply. Cultivate just deep enough 
to cut off the weeds without disturbing the 
roots of the garden plants. 
Some Things Need Picking Often 
Many crops like cucumbers and beans and 
many flowers like carnations and sweet peas 
will stop bearing if the fruit or flowers are 
not picked constantly. Daily picking lengthens 
the season a great deal.
