migrates back to the cherry. These migrants give 

 birth to young that develop into egg-laying females, 

 which deposit small, oval, shining black eggs upon 

 the twigs. 



Remedy — Spray with kerowater, kerosene emul- 

 sion or whale-oil soap. This can be done most easilv 

 and eftectively early in spring, when the newly-hatched 

 lice are crowded upon the bursting buds. 



The Pear-tree Slug, which has already been 

 discussed as a pear insect, is probably as destructive 

 to cherry foliage as to that of the pear. Its life-history 

 on the two fruits is similar, and the remedies are the 

 same in both cases. 



FUNGUS EXEMIES 



The cherry is subject to much the same fungou: 

 diseases that the plum is. The leaves are attacked by 

 the Leaf Blight, and the fruit by Browx Rot. The 

 remedial measures already suggested for these diseases 

 are applicable here.
