migrates back to the cherry. These migrants give 

 birth to young that develop into egg-laying females, 

 which deposit small, oval, shining black eggs upon 

 the twigs. 



Remedy Spray with kerowater, kerosene emul- 

 sion or whale-oil soap. This can be done most easily 

 and effectively early in spring, when the newly-hatched 

 lice are crowded upon the bursting buds. 



The PEAR-TREE SLUG, which has already been 

 discussed as a pear insect, is probably as destructive 

 to cherry foliage as to that of the pear. Its life-history 

 on the two fruits is similar, and the remedies are the 

 same in both cases. 



FUNGUS ENEMIES 



The cherry is subject to much the same fungous 

 diseases that the plum is. The leaves are attacked by 

 the LEAF BLIGHT, and the fruit by BROWN ROT. The 

 remedial measures already suggested for these diseases 

 are applicable here.
