1106 FRUIT CULTURE. 



bushes. Two .applications in a season are usually sufficient, which 

 should be made on, the first appearance of the pests. 



In making up this chapter, we have necessarily drawn from the 

 most approved authorities on the subjects treated of. The most 

 finely illustrated and carefully prepared works on insects we find 

 to be from French publishers, and from these we have taken most 

 of our illustrations. There are in this country a number of very 

 excellent works, in addition to the special technical works published 

 by the United States Commissioner of Agriculture, from which we 

 have also drawn liberally. The latest and most complete special 

 work on the subject brought to our notice, is that of Wm. Saunders 

 of London, Canada, published by J. B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia, 

 entitled "Insects Injurious to Fruit" (price $2.50), from which we 

 have also taken the liberty of quoting. This is a work that we 

 think should be in the hands of every fruit-groWer. Another most 

 excellent work quoted from is " Barry's Fruit Garden," published by 

 the "Orange Judd Company," New York, which no horticulturist or 

 fruit-grower should be without. <We have also been aided consider- 

 ably by reference to the "American Encyclopedia of Agriculture," 

 by Hon. Jonathan Periam, published by Rand, McNally & Co., of 

 Chicago, 111., and also " The Standard History."
