and taste it, and I have found no one who knows anything about it. It 

 is a heart shaped cherry, but of the Bigarreau class. It is a fine shaped 

 cherry, large and juicy, and the birds will never allow it to rot on the 

 tree. It is one-third larger than the Yellow Spanish or the Napoleon 

 Bigarreau. It never needs any pruning. It has never lost a leaf or 

 bud by cold weather. I got it about sixteen years ago, I think. I have 

 also another cherry which I call the French Morello, which I have never 

 heard of before. 



Mr. Brown — There are two subjects on the programme to-day, for 

 which I would like to have plenty of time. First, Dr. Hull's report, 

 and second, the essay of Mr. Riley on the Curculio. I would like to 

 have this matter left for afternoon and evening. I move now that we 

 finish the plum and apricot lists. 



Mr. Brown afterwards withdrew his motion. 



Dr. Hull — I wish to have this peach list laid over for a time. 



Mr. Murtfeldt — I move that Dr. Hull now read his paper on the Cod- 

 ling Moth. Carried. 



CODLING MOTH. 



Dr. Hull read a paper thereon as follows : [Not furnished.] 

 After the paper had been read, the following discussion was had : 

 Dr. Hull — In alluding to the fact that Mr. Burrill, and not Mr. Trim- 

 ble, was the discoverer of the remedy, I did not design to impute any 

 wrong motives. It is often the case that discoveries are attributed to 

 others than the real inventors. Mr. Burrill gave this remedy some 

 thirty years ago in the New England Farmer. 



Mr. Galusha — As far as my observation extends, the rags are very 

 much to be preferred, for the reason that the larvoe can be so easily 

 destroyed. All 3'ou have to do is to dip them in boiling water and 

 hang them up to dry. Hay bands are more cumbersome. I think the 

 cellar is one of the most prolific breeding houses we have, and I would 

 inquire whether the moth would not be destroyed by having bright 

 lights in the cellar — large lamps, with the flame exposed.
