Control Ornamental
Pests Now Is Advice

Control measures for trouble
some ornamental pests should be
put into effect now. advises Dr.
Warren johnson. Entomologist at
the University Of Maryland.
Three mayor groups of pests
aphids. mites and scales can best
be controlled during the dormant
season.
The first control suggested by
DR.. Johnson is the cultural method
Such as cutting old chrysanthemum
flowers or stems and burning them
to destroy aphid eggs Also, de
stroy the above grounds parts Of
ANIMALS and perennials if they arc
no longer useful
A second control suggested for
the home gardener is the use IF
chemical sprays Two dormant in
secticides mentioned are Dinitro-
Cresol tthe Dinitrosl and Dormant
Oil. Caution should be the watch
word when using these sprays and
directions should be followed close
ly. The Dinitros will stain wood
work, stone and brick and should
not be used around building foun-
dations. Evergreens such as blue
spruce that have modified color
pigments in the foliage should not
be sprayed with oil because the
oil will remove the blue color.
Ones moe note, of caution: dl1not
use these sprays in freezing
weather.
