Popis: The older ideas of the behavior of the blister mite (Eriophyes pyri) in the spring are not in accordance with their actual habits in the West. Several writers have suggested this; and the present writers have found that wintering mites deposit eggs in the buds, that blisters are made by the feeding of the generation coming from these eggs, that the mites do not enter the blisters until they are adult, and that this does not occur until the foliage is well out. Sprays applied after the buds have begun to open are apparently effective.
