About this title

Synopsis

Manual of Vegetable-garden Insects, originally published in 1917, is a comprehensive guide to identifying and managing insect pests in vegetable gardens. Authored by Mortimer Demarest Leonard and Cyrus Richard Crosby, this manual provides detailed descriptions of various insects, their life cycles, and the damage they inflict on common vegetable crops.

The book offers practical advice on preventative measures and control strategies, including the use of insecticides and other methods available at the time of publication. Though some recommendations may be outdated by modern standards, the book remains a valuable resource for understanding historical approaches to pest management and for its detailed entomological information. It is useful for historical research, entomology students, and anyone interested in early 20th-century gardening practices.
