Spraying for San Jose Scale should
Ge done when the trees are dormant.
Since peach trees reach this stage in
December, that is the best month for
a%hting this pest. J. r. Watson, en-
tomo!ogist to the University of Flori-
ga Experiment Station, recommends
spraying with lime sulfur, 1 part of
the commercial solution to 8 parts of
water.
Spraying must be done after the
old leaves have fallen and before the
new buds begin to swell to avoid in
jury to foliage. While December is
the time recommended, late varieties
might be sprayed safely in January,
but the early varieties probably will
be reSuming growth by that time.
