Ornamental Plants (Types of injurious insects)

types of injurious insects are as follows: plant lice, scales, borers, fruiteating insects, root-feeding insects, and leaf or bud-feeding insects. The leaf or bud-feeding insects are the most harmful to the appearance of ornamental plants, though borers and scales do a vast amount of damage. Plant lice also, during some seasons of the year, spoil the appearance of some ornamental plants as well as do damage. Much valuable study and thought have been given to the subject of eradication of insect pests and the information available on this subject is very complete. The spray calendars published by the State Experiment Stations should be consulted for details of how to keep ornamental plants clean and thrifty.
