tare (No. 3) as there is no shell as yet formed to 
prevent the Mixture penetrating' to the insect. It 
must be api^lied with a painter’s brush all over 
the Vines, except the ends of the young shoots, 
which at this time are tender, and liable to be 
injured with the Mixture; or a still readier plan 
will be in the latter end of September, or sooner 
if the fruit be gathered, to apply the Mixture 
(No. 5) plentifully, with the engine, all over the 
trees. It will be proper to rake up all the leaves 
which fall, and burn them, as it is probable some 
may not be destroyed with the former operation. 
Those in the Vinery may be treated in the 
same way as on walls, minding in both cases to 
burn the leaves. 
Peeling the Vines in winter Avill destroy 
many, if before neglected. The Mixture may be 
applied a little stronger at the last period, as the 
shell will then be harder. 
Mealy Bug (Coccus Adonidum) described 
on Gooseberries, sometimes infests the Vine. 
For their Destruction. —Any time in 
the winter or spring months, before the buds 
break, the trees and walls should be well washed 
with the Mixture (No. 3), either by means of the 
engine or brush. It will be proper to peel the 
rough bark off, according to the common practice 
with gardeners, previous to the operation, to admit 
of the ingredients getting better to the insect. 
The peeling of the Vine should be carefully col- 
lected and burned, as many will be dislodged
