THE RASPBEEEY. As the Easpberry is closely allied to the Blackberry, and belongs to the same genus, the diseases and insects infesting both do not materially differ. Some few spe- cies of insects seem to prefer the Easp- berry, notably among which is what is called the the Eed-necked Bu- pestris {Agrihis ruficol- lis, fig. 132), a small beetle that seems to be particularly fond of the red and black-cap vari- eties, but will occasion- ally attack the Black- berry. The larva bores into the canes in sum- mer, causing large ex- crescences or galls (fig. 133), checking the flow of sap, and causing the death of the cane. This insect seems to be far more plentiful in the Western than Eastern States; but it is widely distributed, and every cultivator of the Easpberry may as well be on the lookout for it, and gather and burn all canes upon which galls of any kind are Fig. 133.
