THE PEACH SCALE. 



(Lecanium pcrsicce. Geoffrey.) 



Although found out of doors this is essentially a greenhouse 

 pest. It is frequently very harmful to peach, apricot and nectarine, 

 and also occurs on the vine in this country, and I have twice found 

 it out of doors in gardens on the plum. Its food plants abroad are 

 more varied and include the following : Corylus, Morus alba, Morus 

 nisjra, Ficus carica, Robinia pseudacacia, Spircea and Lonicera;
