The Los Angeles Herald of Thursday
says: A matter of considerable interest
to Los Angeles vintagers is the asserted
discovery of the famous phylloxera in one
of the Oldest vineyards of this city. A
grape trunk twenty-five years old has been
cut in two by some minute insect, which
does its work as thoroughly as the teredo
does upon the pile. The vine in question
was critically inspected by L. J. Rose, who
has given close attention to diseases of the
grape. He has no hesitation in saying that
the insect, whatever it is, is not the phyl-
loxera. We should greatly dislike to be
compelled to admit that this dreaded pest
has at last made its appearance in Los An
geles county.
