The Insect and Other Allied Pests: Of Orchard, Bush and Hothouse Fruits and Their Prevention and Treatment (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Insect and Other Allied Pests: Of Orchard, Bush and Hothouse Fruits and Their Prevention and Treatment
This book is written solely with the object of placing before fruit-growers, gardeners and amateurs an account of the insects, mites and worms which attack and cause disease amongst fruit trees, bushes, etc., both in the open and under glass.
Some mention is made of methods of prevention, even if they give only partial relief, and also of the various forms of treatment that have been adopted to destroy the insect and other enemies.
The volume is by no means complete, but it has reached such proportions that it is impossible to give all the information it was hoped to. Nevertheless, all the known pests to date and all those insect and allied creatures which have been recorded as having done damage are mentioned.
My thanks must be expressed to Mr. Robert Newstead, Mr. C. O. Waterhouse and Mr. W. F. Emptage for much valuable help during the writing of the work, also to so many fruit-growers that it would be invidious to mention names.
The photographs have mainly been taken for me by Mr. Edenden, and a few have been prepared by Mr. Blakey, Mr. Hammond, Mr. Tonge and Mr. Rintoul. Professor Felt of New York, Mr. Claude Fuller of Natal and Mr. Newstead have also kindly sent me photographs of Scale Insects and Fruit Fly damage.
A few figures have also been reproduced from my Reports issued from the S. E. Agricultural College.
The drawings have mostly been prepared by Mr. Horace Knight.
