Book Description
Excerpt from Red Spiders and Mites of Citrus Trees Next to the scale insects, red spiders and mites are the most important pests of citrus trees in California. On account of their small size, and because the foliage and fruit of the tree are not conspicuously marred either by their presence or by the covering of sooty mold fungus, as is the case with some of the scale insects, the actual injury done by red spiders and mites is not always appreciated. _their distribution is very general over the citrus sections, and they may be found in some numbers at most any season of the year. So long as they do not become numer ous the injury they do is, not important and in such cases it is not good economy to apply treatment. Because of their more orless continual presence in scattering numbers some growers take red spiders as a mat ter of course, and fail to recognize their importance when they become abundant and do damage, or come to a realization of their injurious nature after most of the damage has been done and the spiders them selves begin to disappear, as they often do. While, therefore, the presence of spiders in scattering numbers should be the cause Of no par ticular concern, the presence of. Excessive numbers of spiders should be the cause of enough concern for the grower to start immediately to apply control measures. Dropping of the leaves and fruit is the ultimate result of red spider injury. But the cause should be checked long before this extreme effect is evident.

Book Description
Excerpt from Red Spider: A Novel Fifty years ago! Half a century has passed since the writer was a child in the parish where he has laid the scene of this tale. There he had a trusty nurse, and a somewhat romantic story was attached to her life. Faithful, good creature! She was carrying the writer in her arms over a brook by a bridge elevated high above the water, when the plank broke. She at once held up her charge over her head, with both arms, and made no attempt to save herself, thinking only of him, as she fell on the stones and into the water. He escaped wholly unhurt, owing to her devotion. Many years after, the author read a little German story which curiously recalled to him his nurse and her career. When a few years ago he revisited the scenes of his child hood, he thought to recall on paper many and many a recollection of village life in the south-west of England in one of its most still and forgotten corners. So he has taken this thread of story, not wholly original in its initiation, and has altered and twisted it to suit his purpose, and has strung on it sundry pictures of what was beginning to fade half a century ago in Devon. Old customs, modes of thought, of speech, quaint sayings, weird superstitions are all disappearing out of the country, utterly and for ever.
