THE PEACH SCALE. 



(Lecanium persiccc. Geoffroy.) 



Although found out of doors this is essentially a greenhouse 

 pest. It is frequently very harmful to peach, apricot and nectarine, 

 and also occurs on the vine in this country, and I have twice found 

 it out of doors in gardens on the plum. Its food plants aljroad are 

 more varied and include the following : — Oorylus, Morus alba, Morus 

 nigra, Ficus carica, Bolinia pseuclacacia, Spircea and Lonicera;
