Book Description
This vintage book contains a complete guide to spraying fruit as a method of pest control, with information on machinery, ingredients, preparation methods, and more. Profusely illustrated and written in plain language, this book is highly recommended for novice agriculturalists, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of farming literature. Contents include: "Bordeaux Mixture", "Fighting Insects", "Paris Green", "Arsenate of Lead", "Lime-Sulphur Wash", "Self-Boiled Lime-Sulphur", "Soluble Oils", "Kerosene Emulsion", "Dust Spraying", "Spray Machinery", "The Spraying Campaign", etcetera. Frank Albert Waugh (1869 - 1943), was an American landscape architect whose career focused upon recreational uses of national forests, the production of a highly natural style of landscape design, and the implementation of ecological principles. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Book Description
Excerpt from Spraying Apples for the Plum-Curculio It has been known for more than a hundred years that t' apple was subject to injury by the plum-curculio, but as this injury has been commonly reckoned less important than that done by the codling - moth, the matter has received, of late, comparatively little attention until within the last six or seven years. Since the dis crimination of different market grades of apples has been generally introduced - a grading based not only upon size and soundness, but also upon superficial appearance - the slight surface injuries done by the new generation of the plum-curculio, both in laying the eggs and in feeding on the fruit, have acquired a great importance. The consequence of a noticeable injury of this sort, although affecting but little, and in many cases scarcely at all, the edible quality of the apple so injured, is to reduce its selling value from N o. I grade to N o. 2, the actual profits of the crop disappearing in this process. These facts having been repeatedly brought to my knowledge by Illinois horticulturists, I undertook to work out the causes of these surface blemishes in general, and to demonstrate more accurately than has hitherto been done means of preventing them by a de struction of the curculios themselves. Indeed, the importance of this investigation has grown upon me as it has become evident that these small superficial injuries very often give entrance through the skin of the apple to bacteria and to fungus spores of various kinds, causing rots and blights of the fruit which might be largely pre vented by a timely destruction of the insects.
