CARBONATE OF COPPER IN SUSPENSION. 
When the carbonate is to be used in sus- 
pension, instead of adding the ammonia to 
the sediment, add water until the whole 
quantity is made up to 6 quarts. Stir this 
thoroughly until the sediment is complete- 
ly suspended (entirely mixed throughout) 
and pour the thick liquid into a suitable 
jar, when it will be ready for use. 
Before using shake the contents thorough- 
ly. so that all the sediment may be evenly 
distributed in the water. Pour out a quart 
of the thick fluid and mix with 25 gallons 
of water. — John Craig, Horticulturist Ex- 
perimental Farms, Canada. 
Injury to Peach Twigs. 
Enclosed you will And a piece of peach limb which 
has been probed by some insect which has deposited 
Its eggs In the limb and you will find them in the 
piece I send you. This insect is damaging the young 
peach trees badly in this locality and no one here has 
been able to discover what it is. It was first noticed 
in the fall of 18fi0 in a neighbors orchard and last fall 
they appeared in my orchard. I was unable to find 
the insects at work but think the probing was done 
during the mon'h of September. Will you please tell 
me what it is and what to do for It?— J. K. Fry, Union 
Co., Indiana. 
The peach twig enclosed, has been punc- 
tured by the Snowy Tree-cricket ((Ecan- 
tlms niveus) for the purpose of laying its 
eggs. If the twig be split along the row of 
punctures the little whitish eggs will be 
found. Considerable damage is done by 
this insect in this way as it punctures not 
only the small twigs of peach, apple and 
cherry, but perhaps more frequently the 
canes of raspberry, blackberry and grape. 
It sometimes performs an extremely an- 
noying kind of injury by puncturing the 
stems of grape clusters, causing the with- 
ering of the entire bunch. It is only in its 
egg-laying, however, that the insect is 
specially injurious and, in fact, its char- 
acter might otherwise be called beneficial 
as after hatching from the eggs the young 
tree crickets feed to a certain extent upon 
plant lice and other small insects. The 
only satisfactory remedy is to prune and 
burn the twigs containing eggs during 
winter and the question as to whether this 
will pay depends entirely upon the amount 
of damage in any given case. — L. O. 
Howard.

There’s a difference — -in satisfaction, and in cash. 
The “let alone” theory is played out. Insect 
enemies are so numerous that the Fruit Grower 
(large or small), must fight or fail. The Spray 
Pump is his weapon. It will yet be as common 
as the plow. When spraying gets to be business, 
then the best pump for the business is desirable. 
That inquiry brings one to Goulds Double 
Acting Spray Pumps. They excel all others 
in effectiveness of work. Made in every re- 
quisite form, to save bushes, vines, or plants; in

Messrs. Editors Orchard & Garden: 
We thank you for the notice of our Seed Catalogue 
In which reference you say "It Is behind the times In 
get up”- quite true, for we think we feel the public 
pulse and ,tate the public sentiment, when we say that 
the community has grown tired of the exaggerations of 
Seed Merchants who mislead not only the novice In ru- 
ral affairs but the Market Gardener as well, by Im- 
possible illustrations of vegetable and (lowers and by 
Munchausen descriptions. 
In no branch of business have the exaggerations been 
so great as In the Seed Business during the last ten 
years— In no branch of business rated as respectable 
have the dealers descended to such a level of Npgro 
Minstrelsy with their comic pictures. 
The outgrowth of It all has generated a spirit of sus- 
picion in the minds of all sensible buyers of seeds.who 
no longer believe one-tenth of what the Catalogues 
“up to the times ” state, for If the seeds every year are 
so much belter than the year before, the stock must 
have been very bad to commence with, even though 
the advertiser then said they were such as never before 
offered to the public. Yours truly.
