White Marked Tussock Moth and ELM Leaf Beetle (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from White Marked Tussock Moth and Elm Leaf Beetle Fruit tree insects. The San Jos scale is still regarded as a serious pest of the horticulturist, though the experience of recent years has demonstrated beyond question the practicability of keep ing this insect in check by thorough and timely applications of a lime-sulfur wash. Our experiments conducted during a series of years Show this insecticide to be fully as satisfactory as any other material which hasbeen employed, despite the fact that a number of new preparations havebeen put on the market in recent years. These latter, though they possess certain very desirable qualities, have not been tested sufficiently so that they can be recommended without qualification.
