The apple-grower must ever be industrious, and at all times on the watch, never forgetting that " eternal vigilance is the price of ; This advice also holds good in the case of plums, for the Plum Curculio {Gonotracheluii Ncnnfhar, see Fig. 35), has had much better accommodation for rapid propagation than that of the apple moth. The plum crop in some sec- tions was very abundant and good ; but in others it was totally destroyed by the workings of this industrious and active beetle. I noticed also that the little Turk, as it has appropriately been called, would not scruple to attack our peaches, in case a scarcity of plums occurred, and that in this way the the peach crop this season suffered very severely. The CAEBAfiE Worm {Pieris rapae), has this season been at work in full force, and has been very generally and extensively disastrous to our cabbages. They are very troublesome, especially to market gardeners, and where re- medies were not used, the cabbages were totally destroyed. The parent of this larva .seems to have no definite con- ception of the nature and severity of the changes of our climate, and in this respect it shows its foreign origin, as iu any fine day in October she may be seen busily flitting about over the ,(fcc.,apparently eager in the business of depositing her eggs; and the young larva may be seen thus late in the season in all stages
