FARM AND GARDEN.
Virtue " tho tomato Leaves.
Dec. 10, 1879,


a statement comes from South Amer
ca that a singular property of tomato
leaves has been discovered by fruit
grower. Having cut down some iona
to vines, he used them MS n mulch around
his peach trees. He soon discovered thai
the curcullo, which was destroying his
fruit, had abandoned the tree surround
ed by the tomato vines. Following up
this accidental discovery, the free use of
tomato vines proved perfect protection,
not only against ourculio, but other nox-
ious insects. He found, also, by steep
ing In water some fresh leaves Of the
tomato, and sprinkling the infusion upon
other plants, the innumcrable insects
which covered them were driven away.
Some gardeners have tried the above
remedy, some by accident and others by
intention, and their success was remark
able. One gentleman had his apple trees
ravagcd by the curcullo, until last year,
when he secured splendid crop. lie
knows of no cause for his exemption
from the curculio except the tomato
plants that were grown from the first
among hls trees.
