Rot or Monilia. This fungus, which also 

 affects the plum and cherry, is worse on 

 early varieties and in a wet season. In gar- 



dens where only a few trees are grown the

The two most injurious insects to the 

 peach are the curculio and the peach-borer. 

 Paris green, four ounces to forty gallons, 

 with a pound of lime added, will 

 check the former. A thick wash

 milk applied early in July will 

 also be effective, and will prove 

 more adhesive than any other 

 wash.
