SWEET PEA PLANTS TURNING YELLOW.
Where sweet pea plants are turning yellow, make an inspection of the leaves and stems, and see if you can detect the presence of a very small, yellow-red spider-like insect. If you find the vagabond set to work and spray the plants
with a solution made by dissolving a cake of sunlight soap in a bucket of water, to which has been added half a teaspoonful of paris green. mix the poison into a thin paste, and keep the liquid well beaten up, while you are using it. The hotter you can use the spray the better. But don’t try to do the peas good with a boiling insecticide.—“AmateurGardener."’
