recommended for these borers are dusting the plants with air- 
slaked lime or hellebore; or spraying with Paris green. But as 
these borers feed on the inside of the plants, and, when first dis- 
covered, have usually ruined the plants, the best method is to dig 
up all infested plants and burn them. The insects attacking the 
leaves of the strawberry are the following: The strawberry leaf 
roller, the neat strawberry leaf roller, the smeared dagger, the cut- 
worm, the strawberry saw-fly and several others. Only those 
mentioned are, however, considered numerous enough to cause 
much damage, and the remedies usually used are the same for all — 
except the cut-worm, viz.: powdered hellebore and water in the 
proportion of an ounce of the hellebore to the pailful of water; 
Paris green and water, one teaspoonful of Paris green to two gal- 
lons of water. Hither of these remedies have been proven of 
benefit, and, if not used while the fruit is on the pans they will 
cause no injury. 
The only disease of the strawberry that causes much damage 
is the leaf blight which is very prevalent in some years. The — 
most efficacious remedy found for it has been the ammoniated 
carbonate of copper, sprayed on the vines after fruiting.
