Citrus fruits and olives are especially subject to soft-scale attack, and the '' black scale, '' Leca7iium olecz, is in California the most troublesome of all and the most injurious. In the genus Ceroplastes the scale is formed of waxy layers, sometimes quite pretty in pattern. These are found only in the extreme South, and are not especially troublesome. The matter of remedies will depend entirely upon circumstances. On garden plants or shrubs the scales may be mechanically removed during the winter.
