The only insect enemy of the Peach tree at the south is the Peach tree borer (sEgeria exitiosa), and this insect, so destructive to Peach orchards, can readily be exterminated in two or three seasons by banking the earth around each tree during the month of April to the depth of 10 or 12 inches, and allowing it to remain until November, when it should be scraped from the tree, ex- posing the collar and main roots to the frosts of winter. The borer, in its moth or egg-laying state, is by the above process forced to deposit its eggs on the dry bark of the tree, where the few worms that hatch and escape the cold of winter can be easily found and cut out with a sharp knife. ROSETTE.—This dreadful enemy to Peach and Plum trees has of late years appeared throughout many sections of the South, and unless the utmost vigilance is practiced, disastrous results to the Peach-growing industry will re- sult. The disease appears in spring, and in affected trees the leaves assume a yellow and sickly appearance, are small and crowded in a bunch. The tree seldom survives the first summer, and to prevent the rapid contamination of other trees, immediate uprooting and burning must be resorted to. The disease is violently contagious, and no preventive has been so far discovered. All ivild Plums should be destroyed, as the disease often first appears among these, and is thus rapidly carried to cultivated trees. FREESTONE PEACHES. Amelia.
