Side 325 - Arsenate of lead at the rate of two pounds to fifty gallons of water will give good results when the worms are small.
Side 222 - The suckers upon which this insect occurs in the spring commence to twirl round, and when not interfered with make a complete revolution before they resume their usual course. The leaves...
Side 19 - One man goes ahead with a longhandled, round -pointed shovel and digs the earth away six inches deep from under the roots. The second man has a six-tined or four-tined fork which he thrusts against the plant a foot or so above the ground, and by pushing upon the fork and stamping against the roots with the foot, the plant is laid over in the direction from which the earth was removed. The third man now covers the plant with earth or marsh hay. Earth is...
Side 156 - Paladius, a Roman agricultural writer of the fourth century, mentions the raspberry as one of the cultivated fruits of his time. From the gardens of Southern Europe it found its way into France, the Low countries, and England, and from these sources into the United States. To this species belong the Red and White Antwerps, which have remained standards of excellence for...
Side 228 - Although occurring throughout the greater portion of the northern half of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains, it appears to be more or less local in its habits, for in parts of central New York and northern Pennsylvania it is seldom or never seen. In the Gulf states and the extreme southwest the species is replaced by other closely allied ones. These, though very similar in appearance are usually less destructive.
Side 247 - ... Plants attacked by yellows have a stunted, yellowish aspect suggestive of peach yellows and Woods' Bermuda lily disease, especially the latter. On fruiting canes the fruit-bearing laterals are dwarfed, often to one-half their normal length. The leaves are small, curled slightly downward at the margins and faintly mottled with yellow. Some of the berries dry up without ripening and those that ripen are undersized and insipid. Much of the foliage withers at the same time. New canes, for the most...
Side 19 - If the grower lives in a locality where he does not fear late spring frosts, the bushes should be raised early in the spring ; but if frosts are feared they may be left under cover until corn-planting time. If the buds become large and are bleached white under cover, they will suffer when exposed to the atmosphere ; and one must watch the bushes in spring and raise them before the buds become soft and white. This method of laying down blackberry plants costs less than $10 per acre, and the slight...
Side 396 - A series of practical books for farmers and gardeners, sold as a set or separately. Each one is the work of a competent specialist, and is suitable for consultation alike by the amateur or professional tiller of the soil, the scientist or the student. Illustrations of marked beauty are freely used, and the books are clearly printed and well bound. ON SELECTION OP LAND, ETC. Isaac P. Roberts...
Side 71 - The yield in pounds of dried product per bushel of green fruit varies greatly with different seasons and parts of the same season. Early in a wet season, when the fruit has made a quick, vigorous and watery growth, it may take four quarts to make a pound of dried fruit. At the end of a very dry season, on the other hand, it may take only two quarts. So far as I have been able to learn, growers expect to average about ten pounds of dried fruit to the bushel.
Side 19 - Blackberries are extensively laid down in colder climates, however, and it may be well to relate the method here for the benefit of those who occupy bleak locations. Late in fall, the bushes are tipped over and covered. Three men are generally employed to perform this labor. One man goes ahead with a long-handled round-pointed shovel and digs the earth away six inches deep from under the roots. The second man has a six-tined or four-tined fork which he thrusts against the plant...
