Download or read book Manual of Vegetable Garden Insects Classic Reprint written by Cyrus Richard Crosby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Vegetable-Garden Insects IN the present work we have attempted to bring together in concise and usable form what is known in regard to the habits, life history and control of the insect enemies of vegetable-garden crops in the United States and Canada. Much of this infor mation has been published in technical journals and in the bulletins and circulars of the State Experiment Stations and Federal Government, where it is available only to the special student who has access to the few large libraries that collect and preserve this type of literature. We have endeavored thoroughly to digest this mass of material and present it in a form adapted to the needs of the gardener and vegetable grower. In regard to methods of control we have tried to eliminate as far as possible useless and impracticable recommendations and include only those found to be effective under commercial conditions or such as would seem to be worthy of trial. It has seemed better to state frankly that the problem of control in certain cases has not been solved than to suggest remedies that would lead to disappointment.
