which caused so much damage in this local
ity last summer, have again made their ap.
pearance, and again as consequence the
bushes are being robbed of their foliage. The
result will be the failure of the current crop.
TO prevent this destruction We advise, upon
the recommendation Of an e tperienced nur-
seryman, that white helebore be sprinklcd
literally over the bushes while they are
damp. Repeat this two or three times
season. Pike dust will answer the same
purpose.

mutual admiration, or to excurt somewhere
