We were shewn yesterday by d. e.
Vestal, President of the Horticultural
Commissioners, branch of an apple tree
taken from the orchard of Thomas Ho,-
land, near Berryessa. A short time since
Mr.. Holland made the unpleasant discov-
cry that all his apple trees on twenty acres
of land were covered by the black scale
louse the aspidiotus perniciosus. About two
weeks ago be began to wash the trees with
clear kerosene, and the result has thor
oughly and satisfactorily demonstrated the
efficacy of this remedy for the pest. The
branch shown our reporter had been
washed with kerosene only three days be-
fore, and all the parasites were killed and
the branch apparently uninjured. The
buds were not affected in the slightest
degree. Mr.. Vestal stated that trees in
his orchard, washed with kerosene last
spring, are now thriving, and that no in
jury was effected by the use of the oil. It
has. however, been shown that crude Pc
troleum will destroy the tree, for the reason
that the fatty substance in it, the coal tar,
is injurious to vegetation. But when rec
titled, kerosene contains no property, un-
less very improperly applied, that will in
terfere with the growth or prevent the
poisoning of tree. The result of these
recent experiments with the scale louse will
be brought up before the horticultural
Society at its next meeting.-[San Jose
