REMEDY NO. 99. 



Hopvines, grapevines, and plants found withering or dying 

 suddenly, should be carefully examined, and if the grub (Fig. 

 14<S) of any of the boring beetles or the larva^ of moths are 

 found, they should be destroyed at once ; or if found in hop- 

 poles or rotten wood in the garden or field, they should in 

 every instance be destroyed. (Hop-growers should examine 

 their hop-poles carefully when taken from the ground for 

 grubs, etc.) The beetle (Fig. 150) should be destroyed when- 

 ever found. Grapevines, or hopvines, or fruit trees, should 

 not be planted upon lands where decaying oak stumps are left 

 in the ground, as there is danger of the trees or vines becom- 

 ing infested by these grubs.
