MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 141 



that was done I filled up the vacancy with putty, and when dry I washed every 

 part of the frame and glass with a strong solution of corrosive sublimate. This 

 done, I made up a bed for the said three-light frame, aud when the bed was at a 

 proper heat the. seeds were sown. The plants came up and continued to grow 

 most luxuriantly ; the plants showed fruit, and swelled them off admirably. At 

 that time I never saw plants look more healthy. After the plants had been 

 bearing some time, on examining the leaves I found a few stragglers had again 

 made their appearance, and in a short time some of the leaves had shown a little 

 deformity. As I had never vet tried nitre, 1 thought this a very good opportunity to 

 commence some experiment with it. I therefore put an ounce of nitre into two 

 gallons of hot water, letting it stand till rather better than lukewarm. I then 

 syringed every part of the plant, having a person to hold the leaves up till I 

 syringed the under side of the leaves. 1 repeated the syringing daily. I had 

 not used the nitre more than a week before resuscitation in the plant was mani- 

 fest. I continued to syringe them with the nitre, aud to my great delight I 

 found the insect quite eradicated from this frame. I was delighted to think I 

 had found a specific to destroy this tiresome insect ; but, alas! my delight was 

 of short duration. I had four lights of young cucumber plants in a brick pit ; 

 the plants were infested with the insect, and the more I washed them with 

 nitre, the more numerous the insect was. I have shown the insect to many 

 .rardeners, but none of them ever saw it before. We have had all our frames 

 painted this autumn, and all the putty taken out of the joints and puttied afresh, 

 and the glass whitewashed with boiling lime and water. I am in hopes this 

 precaution will have the desired effect. If you think the result worth knowing, 

 at the proper season I will let you know. Should you think the above worthy a 

 place in your Cabinet, it is at your service.
