REMEDIES. 417 



" Apply this mixture, when thus incorporated, with a gar- 

 den syringe (or spray pump) to your plum or other fruit 

 trees, so that the foliage shall be well drenched. If no rains 

 succeed for three weeks, one application will be sufficient. 

 Should frequent rains occur, the mixture should be again ap- 

 plied until the stone of the fruit becomes hardened, when the 

 season of the curculio's ravages is past. 



" The mixture is good to destroy the slug, caterpillar, green 

 fly, thrips, and a host of the enemies of vegetation. 



" It is my impression that I found the wash stronger than 

 needed or desirable, and diluted it to a considerable extent, 

 but how much I cannot remember. The application was made 

 by means of a garden engine. As a result, the trees bore a 

 full crop of perfect fruit, while that of my neighbors was de- 

 stroyed as usual. 



" Respectfully vours, 



"C. H. DWINELLE.

REMEDY NO. 110. 



In relation to the Remedy No. 109, which has proved so 

 effective, and is recommended by Professor C. H. Dwindle, 

 Remedy No. 66 will probably be equally effective should this 

 pest appear in any orchard in this State. 



REMEDY NO. 111. 



As soon as the leaves of the cucumber vines appear above 

 the ground, spray thoroughly with No. 5 or 7. Should plant- 

 lice or the cucumber beetle appear on the foliage, spray thor- 

 oughly with No. 4, and cut out and destroy all stems infested 

 by the grub of the beetle ; or, use No. 65 ; but if the material 

 is convenient, and the vines seriously infested, No. 51 is prefer- 

 able. 



Note. — For aphis. No. 5 or 7 is sufficient, and will not 

 destroy the natural enemies of these insects.
