THE CURVE-WINGED APPLE MOTH. 59 



Kerosene emulsion in any form ought to prove an effective 

 remedy against the u Curve-winged Apple Moth," and if 

 carefully watched for a little time, growers, I think, have 

 little cause to apprehend much danger from this com- 

 paratively new apple pest. 



When an apple tree has been badly attacked (root and 

 branch) by the Woolly Aphis, it will generally be in such 

 a weak state as to render it all the more susceptible to 

 blights, both insect and fungous, so that trees which are 

 past redemption should be at once grubbed out and burned, 

 and the holes before replanting should be thoroughly 

 treated with lime, and trees of a different nature planted 

 in the place of those dug up. For thoroughly disinfect- 

 ing the ground of this kind, the bisulphide of carbon as 

 also "Quibell's Tar Extract" will, if properly applied, be 

 found to be cheap and effective remedies. 



This insect has been figured by Mr. Anderson, to whom 

 I am indebted for the specimens from which our drawings 

 have been taken.
