Spray used for aphids must come
INTO direct contact with the lice to be
effective. AS the aphids are found on
the lower sides of the leaves, II is
necessary to have a spray apparatus
which will underspray the leaves. A
nozzle attached to the pole at an angle
OF 45 degrees serves this purpose very
well.
It Is highly desirable that high pres
sure (125 to IT'S pounds) be used, as
this creates a mist which Is blown
about and reaches many more lice
than would otherwise be possible.
For a few plants an atomizer or
whisk broom may be used for apply
Ing the spray. For city gardeners a
knapsack spray Is usually sufficient.
However. for really effective work a
barrel pump or power outfit Is best,
because 1t furnishes more pressure,
The barrel pump is large enough for
the average commercial garden, while
the power outfit may be used on large
commercial gardens. One to foul

The spraying should be done while
the foliage is dry. as moisture on the
plants tends to weaken the spray ma
