Fruit-culture. 34 HIGGLE BERRY BOOK mesh—eighteen or twenty meshes to the inch—can be securely tacked around the bottom to complete the job. It must be remembered that most spraying materials are poisonous and should be so labeled. If ordinary precautions are taken, there is no danger attending their appUcation. Properly-sprayed fruit (that is. fruit not sprayed too near the time of maturity) is. on account of the great dilution and the action of rains, perfectly safe to eat. The Vermorel nozzle is very popular; so are several other makes that I have tried. The main thing to demand is a nozzle that will throw a fine mist, like steam, which settles on the plants like dew. A sprinkler, resulting in much drip upon tne ground, is not wanted. And, too, a good nozzle should not clog easily, and when it does clog it should be quickly clean- able. The lime-sulphur mix- ture is the standard remedy for the San Jose scale. Seedsmen sell it by the quart or gallon. The time to use t is after the leaves are off — in the late fall or early spring. Currant bushes, etc., if attacked by this pest, should have prompt treat- ment. It is a round, dark scale with a central dot or nipple, and is not easy to see without the aid of a magnifying glass. (Note: Seedsmen also sell ready-nrepared Bordeaux, kerosene emul- sion, Bordeaux-arsenate of lead, etc. So it isn't necessary to make these sprays at home unless you prefer to do so.). A GOOD NOZZLE SHOULD THROW FINE MIST, LIKE STEAM.
