The only remedy is to entirely destroy allirces having this disease, and remeve them from the orchard as soon as discovered. 2, The worm—' This is produced by e fly, which from the middie of June to the first of August, deposites its eggs on the bark of the tree, generally at the surface of the ground.” When hatched, it peneirates the bark, and devours the sap wood often around the whele tree. The presence of the worm may be known, by gum just below the surface ofthe ground. Many remedies have been propoaed. The application to the roots of boiling water, ealtpetre or unslacked lime are recom. mended. The most certain remedy, is, every spring to remove the earth around the root of the tree, and cut out and destroy all the worms. After this, they are effectually prevented, by the applleation of Tobaeco—by laying it close reund the root of the trep, at the surface of the ground, about the last of May or first of June every year, Thie plan has proved effectual where all others have failed. The Pench Tree thrives besi in a rich, sanéy loam; 12 er 15 feet asunder, ia a proper distance. PEARS, 9 ripening before the time.’’ ‘bia disease is contagious—one diseased PEARS.

Itdeposits its egg in the young fruit which falls te the ground, and the worm enters the earth. A good rem- edy, is to allow the hogs io rua among the trees while the injured fruit is falling, er by picking up and destroying the infected fruit daily, its ravages may be prevented. When the tree is shaken, the curculio will fall to the ground, and by spreading a cloth to receive them may be readily taken. The black wart or knots is another disease te which the Plum tree is liable, “partisularly some of the purple plums— the white and yellow sorts are scarcely ever attacked.” These knots are | supposed to result from the attack of an insect. Care taken to cut off| all the diseased timbs before the middle ef June annually, will soon rid the orchard of this disease: Gur eatalogue will be annually ipcreased by the addition of goed varieties. Ta addition to the foregoing catalogue of fruit trees, we have for sale the Isabellaand Catawba Grape vines. Also, under cultivation several choice varteties of Gooséberries.
