  The 
  author 
  gives 
  some 
  general 
  information 
  on 
  pests 
  of 
  orchards 
  

   and 
  market-gardens 
  likely 
  to 
  appear 
  during 
  the 
  summer 
  : 
  Byturvs 
  

   tomentosus, 
  F. 
  [see 
  this 
  Revieiv, 
  Ser. 
  A, 
  ii, 
  p.

  and 
  Anthonomus 
  rubi, 
  

   Herbst, 
  which 
  oviposits 
  on 
  the 
  buds 
  of 
  raspberries 
  and 
  strawberries, 
  the 
  

   females 
  injuring 
  the 
  petiole 
  of 
  the 
  buds, 
  so 
  that 
  they 
  cannot 
  unfold 
  ; 
  

   the 
  larva 
  feeds 
  inside 
  the 
  closed 
  bud 
  and 
  pupates 
  there. 
  The 
  author 
  

   recommends 
  the 
  shaking 
  dow^n 
  and 
  destruction 
  of 
  the 
  injured 
  buds. 
  

  

  Incurvaria 
  rubiella, 
  Bjerk. 
  Besides 
  spraying 
  early 
  in 
  spring 
  with 
  

   milk 
  of 
  lime, 
  the 
  cutting 
  in 
  autumn 
  of 
  the 
  raspberry 
  canes 
  and 
  their 
  

   destruction 
  by 
  burning, 
  is 
  recommended. 
  

  

  Incurvaria

  The 
  same 
  remedies 
  are 
  advised 
  as 
  against 
  

   I. 
  rubiella, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  removal 
  and 
  destruction 
  of 
  the 
  premature 
  

   red 
  currant 
  berries, 
  which 
  contain 
  the 
  larvae. 
  

  

  Zophodia 
  convolutella,

  The 
  removal 
  and 
  destruction 
  of 
  attacked 
  

   berries 
  and 
  the 
  cultivation 
  of 
  the 
  soil 
  underneath 
  gooseberry 
  bushes 
  

   in 
  autumn 
  and 
  spring 
  is 
  recommended 
  ; 
  also 
  spraying 
  with 
  Paris 
  

   green 
  against 
  various 
  larvae. 
  

  

  Pieris 
  brassicae, 
  L. 
  The 
  eggs 
  must 
  be 
  destroyed 
  by 
  crushing 
  them 
  

   on 
  the 
  cabbage 
  leaves, 
  and 
  the 
  larvae 
  collected

  Aphis

  The 
  best
