THE oURRANT WoRM-sAVB THE BUSHES.

For several years past the currant bush
es have been nearly destroyed by numerous
small worms which divest them Of their
foliage. As the eggs from which these
worms spring are deposited on the under
side Of the leaves, the first indication Of
their ravages will be observed by many
small holes eaten through, and the minute
worms may be seen making the holes larg
er.
The writer has been accustomed to sprink-
le powdered white hellebOre on the bushes,
which is an infallible remedy, as it destroys
the worms i'll few minutes, and will not
mlure the currant bushes in the least
White hellebore can be obtail ned at most
drug stores, in powdered state, at a few
cents per ounce. TO sprinkle it on bushes,
put about two tahlespoonfuls into a pepper
or -four box, and sprinkle it lightly all over
the outside leaves Then turn up the bush
es and scatter small quantity in the mid
die of them. Let it be spread as thinly as
practicable, as a quantity SO small that it
can not be perceived with the naked eye,
will check the ravages. In the spring of
1864 our gooseberry bushes We're stripped
of every leaf, and all the branches were
literally covered with full-sized worms We
sprinkled them lightly with white helle-
bore and in less than two hours every
worm fell to the ground dead Great care
must be exercised in handling the hellebore,
as small quantity will produce violent
SneeZing.

covering them with earth, make very eff
cient shades Shingles are very handy for
the purpose, and plants i'll rows may be
sheltered bv means of boards. If the plant
is quite large, it may be protected by a
sort of extempore umbrella of paper Take
stick of convenient length, and suffic-
iently large piece of newspaper place the
centre of the paper over the end of the
stick, and tie it down, an inch or two over
the end of the stick, the paper Gaping the
end of the stick in the same manner that
paper or leather cap is put over the cork OF
bottle by an apothecary. This secures
the paper to the stick, and leaves broad,
free margin, which may be spread ont all
around like an umbrella. or sun-shade, and
the folds, or gathers, made by tying in this
way, will give it stiffness to retain its pos
ition. The operation is a very simple one,
though not SO easy to describe without an
illustration. The sun-shade thus prepared,
is fixed where it is needed, by thustng the
lower end of the handle into the ground =
Potted plants from the house, or green
house, especially the broad-leaved ever
greens, like Camellias must be placed
where they will be shaded during the heat
OF the day fno properplace is available,
lath work must be built to cover them
This Is made of strips of Stats, one or two
inches wide, with spaces between them as
wide as the Stats. Plants placed under this
are not exposed to the full heat of the sun,
yet have plenty of light and air Similar
screens are useful to protect plants which
grow naturally in shady woods or other
cool localities, and to cover seed beds of
evergreen and other trees Many of the
trees which are hardest when old, cannot
be raised from the seed unless the young
plants are sheltered, and much of the fail
ure in raising tree seedlings comes from a
neglect Of this Twigs of evergreens, or
even of deciduous trees, with the leaves
on, if stuck quite thickly over the seed-bed,
will give the young trees the needed shad-
ing. The other method of protection, mulch
ing, is still more simple. 1t consists mere
ly in covering the soil over the roots, and
may be done with litter of any kind. Dam
aged hay, straw, bog or salt hay, chips
sawdust tan, freshly cut grass, or any SIM
liar thing will answer. In mulching straw
berry plants, straw is generally employed,
but corn stalks laid lengthwise of the rows
will serve very good purpose. Those who
have never tried it have no idea of the
great benefit Of some such simple protect
ion not only to newly set trees and other
plants, but to those which suffer from
drouth. One of the best pear-growers near
this city, attributes much Of his success to
the thorough mulching of his trees The
mulch will do but little good if put in a
little heap around the trunk of the tree
as people often do, and then say that the
mulching is of no use. 1t should be spread
with liberal hand over and even beyond,
the space occupied by the roots.-American
Agrjcuhurist
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1865-06-22
SHADING AND MULCHING,

Incur climate, the gardener has not Cnly
to contend with the severity of winter, but
with the intense heat of summer and is
obliged to protect his plants against the in
iurlous effects of both extremes Recently
set plants often require shading, as do some
established ones, and many seedlings. Not
only does the foliage suffer from the effects
Of the heat but the roots are also deprived
of their proper moisture by the drying out
OF the surface soil to an extent that renders
1t necessary to protect them by some sort
OF covering placed upon the earth over the
rootS--an operation which is called mulch
ing. These things are so obvious, and the
methods of shading and mulching so sim
pie, that those who have had only little ex-
pcnencc IN cultivating do not need 10 I've
told OF their necessity, nor how 10 do them.
II is not for such that this article is written
but for the hundreds who willtrytheir hand
At gardening for the first time in their lives
Indeed, we have seen in the garden of those
who make some pretenSiOns to skill. plants
languishing after removal, which a news
paper shade would have made happy. and
trees and shrubs struggling to survive the
month of August, which few forkfuls of
otherwise useless rubbish would have won
derfully helped Some plants stand remov-
al without injury, while others have to be
handled with great care, and to be nursed
Tor some time after the operation to enable
them to survive it. One of the oommonest
ways OF shading small plants in the gar
den, Is TO turn empty flower pots over them.
A large leaf, or handful of recently cut
grass, are frequently used, but these soon
wilt and fall down upon the plant. and are
not as efficient nor much more readily oh
tainable than paper. Old newspapers torn
into pieces of conyeLient size, arched over
the plant, and the edges held in place by
