necessary for herpetic affections of the human 

 skin ; but it does not appear to have done any 

 good. The orchard stands on a strong limestone 

 soil, has been under cultivation ever since plant- 

 ing, and the trees have been brushed with soft 

 soup, every spring, as recommended by Mr Prince 

 Every tree of the carthouse has it. 



I liave tlius far intentionally avoided the use of 

 white-wash on young trees, but unless informed 

 of something else, which may be more effectual, 

 1 think I shall try it ; but where the disease has 

 extended to the twigs, I am at a loss how to apply 

 any thing like a wash." 



Our correspondent has some further remarks 

 and inquiries, relative to the management of fruit 

 trees, which we hope to take notice of hereafter. 

 The insect, which he has described is new to us, 

 and we liave found no accout of any thing similar 

 in any books, which we have been able to consult. 

 We should be much obliged, to Dr. Harris, or 

 any other gentleman, who may possess informa- 

 tion relative to this destroyer, /or such notices of 

 it as may |)rove interesting' td'wie entomologist, 

 or useful to the orchardist, by showing some me- 

 Jliod of guarding against its ravages. 



We are requested to state that the Gage plum 

 tree which produced the large quantity of plums 

 that were sold for above forty dollars in our mar- 

 ket, (as mentioned in the New England Farmer 

 of October 3d) was obtained by Mr. Samuel R. 

 Johnson, the proprietor, from Mr. Prince's nurse- 

 ries at Long Island, and is of a variety originat- 

 ed by 3Ir. Prince, from seed, and called the white 

 gage.
