pear until late summer when
cool nights and hot days are
favorable to its development.
1t is then we need to be ready
to protect the foliage. Mildew
seems to have become more
prevalent in recent years
judging by the number Of
mildewed entries at the Fall
Rose Show of the Potomac
Rose Society. Sulphur is a
good fungicide but it cannot
be used with safety to the
plant when temperatures are
above IS degrees.
There is little question as
to the effectiveness of these
modern materials. The effec-
tiveness depends in large
measure upon the thorough
ness of the application-both
sides of the leaves must be
covered. The sucking insects,
especially the red spider mites
and the lacefly, spend their
entire lives on the underSides
of the leaves. That is where
the stomata are-the large
openings of the leaves through
which many diseases reach
the tissue. With twiggy
shrubs. such as the azaleas,
the spray must be applied
with ample pressure so as to
reach all of the leaves.
Spreader and Sticker
But even so it is we'll to
incorporate a spreader-a
material that breaks down
surface tension so that the
spray will spread over the
leaf surface. Detergents are
commonly used for this pur-
pose-Dreft is widely used.
There is a commercial prepa-
ration that produces a similar
Evening star., 1960-05-06

effect but in addition con-
tains a sticker which holds
the spray mixture to the foli-
age so that it is not easily
washed of by rain or water
ing.
Dusts and sprays give
equally good protection if
thorough applications are
made, namely the foliage
must be covered before the
bugs take a bite or the dis
ease spores arrive. A dust is
quicker to apply, takes less
expensive equipment, but
may be washed of by the
first shower. Sprays take
longer to prepare, and the

soil area around the founda-
tion without danger to the
shrubs. 1t remains effective
in the soil from three to five
years.
DDT Kills BOrers
Another problem, one for
which we commonly use DOT,
is the borer. This pest, per-
haps we should say pests be-
cause there are many differ
ent kinds of borers that trou-
BILE our woody plants, can be
controlled by spraying with
DDT. DDT has very long
lasting properties, is effective
in light applications. and
does not wash off the foliage
easily. The timing of the ap-
plication to control the borers
is based on their life cycle.
The dogwood borer is
active in the spring and the
stems and larger branches of
the trees should be covered
with a protective coating
before the eggs begin to
hatch. Similarly the peach
tree borer, which matches in
late August or September is
best killed by sprays applied
in late August and Septem-
Der.
Three week intervals are
recommended if We are to
protect the peach and other
stone fruit trees.
DDT may also be used to
control the leaf nematode of
the chrysanthemum.
Mildew Spray
One other problem, mildew,
is best controlled with a
sulphur dust or spray. If the
all-purpoSe mixture contains
sulphur, and most of them
do, there is no need for a spe-
cial sulphur material. How
ever, this disease, which
blackens the foliage of roses,
dahlias, zinnias and even the
Grape myrtle, does not ap-

sprayer must be thoroughly
cleaned after each use which
takes some time. However,
fewer sprayings are needed
to give the desired protection.

Washington gardeners
know from long experience
that it is necessary to battle
the bugs and blights.
We have those from the
north as well as those from
the south to contend with.
However, the modern chem
ical manufacturers continue
to supply the gardener with
improved materials that not
only do the job better, but in
many cases make it easier.
The biggest problem for
the home gardener is to know
the exceptions to provide for.
In general, and for most
all of the common problems.
the gardener need use only
one of the all-purpose mix
lures.
However, there are special
all-purpose mixtures for
roses, for fruit tress. and for
vegetable gardens. The one
most commonly used, it
seems. is the all-purpose mix
ture for roses which is fully
as useful on the other orna-
mentals.
OF course. these mixtures
which contain insecticides.
both for the sucking and the
chewing insects, also contain
one or more fungicides for the
control of the common plant
diseases.
Perhaps they are not the
most ideal materials, but in
most cases they are salts
factory in giving reasonable
control.
Certainly there is no need
for the gardener to have a
shelfful of the various ma
terials necessary to give the
desired protection to his or
her plants.
Must Fight Scale
In addition to the all-pur-
pose mixtures the gardener
will want to have on hand a
small bottle of Malathion to
fight the scale insects. Many
of the all-purpose mixtures
do contain Malathion which
has the highest residual effect
of any of the materials used
in combating the tiny suck
ing insects which are such a
problem on our azaleas. How
ever, in fighting these scale
insects we often must use
such a material when there
is little or no need for using
the more costly all-purpose
mixtures.
A second problem, one that
is common to all gardens, is
the ant, perhaps we should
also include the soil inhabit-
ing insects such as the grubs
Qarvae) of the japanese bee
tie, the June beetle and others
in this sector. At any rate
chlordane is the most effec-
tive material in controlling
ants, and where used on the
turf it destroys so many of
the grubs that the moles go
elsewhere for food.
Chlordane is also widely
used to control termites and
can be safely applied in
