Any great fluctuations are always bad for the keeping of this fruit. Of the pests affecting the Grape the most to be dreaded is the A/" i n e Louse {Phyllox- era vas- t a t r i X ), Much has been done of late years to- wards keeping it at bay by ^ the use of stocks that are practically proof against the attacks of the insects, which are near relatives of the Aphides. As in the case of the American Blight there are both root- and leaf-feeders, the latter being dis- tinguished by the tubercles found upon the adults. The former are the most difficult to deal with, as they are out of the reach of most insecticides. The 2;alls due to their attacks on both roots and foliage are shown at Fig. 659. Kerosene emulsion has given ex- cellent results in America: it has been used for both foliage and the border of the infested vine has 3gals. to logals. of the insecticide every gallon of concentrated emulsion should be added, and the mixture is best.
