HYBRIDs AND CATERPILLARs.


At the meeting of the District Horticultural
society Wednesday, when Mr.. Saul exhibited
an apple he had taken from peach tree, and
1t was found TO have been stuck on the tree by
hand, discussion as to the possibility Of grow
ing apples on peach trees followed.
Mr.. j. T. c. Clark said that 1t was impossible
to graft an apple ON a peach or peach on an
apple, but almonds, nectarines, peaches, and
other fruit with pits will amalgamate.
Mr.. Saul said that the pear or apple and
seeded fruit will do the same; that the wild
goose plum will fraternize better with other
trees, and plums will affect peaches; that the
early peaches are affected by the native plum,
and aprieOts will affect other fruit
Mr.. Curtis said he had seen pears, apples and
ounces budded on the wild plum, and il was
well known that the original pear was a knotty
fruit like the thorn apple. II was impossible
to get fruit OF one class TO mix with another
peach tree but might be "raised" on peach
stem.
After a short discussion on orchids, Mr.. Clark
spoke of the caterpillar, saying that the devas-
tation at his place was calculated TO make one
sick, and he believed that the damp season had

insects did not attack perfectly healthy
trees trees or plants The yellow fever could be

ease could be kept out of the vegetable
PLIERS, he suggested that the season had been
unusually wet. He noted that the street trees
were planted in holes, and now these holes are
full of roots which find it difficult to get into the
adjacent soil. These holes I'LL with water and
the trees become diseased 1t would seem that
this was the cause, tor in the country where the
trees are healthy and there is plenty OF room
for the trees, but little, If any, damage has been
done by the caterpillar. 1t is likely that II the
next season should be q dry one that the trees
Will recuperate.
Mr.. Curtis said that the question was where
the caterpllars come from.
MIR. Saul replied by stating that some of his
plants, II put i'll humid atmosphere, would
show the insects.
Mr.. Clark remarked that the insects were
usually found on the under side OF the leaf In
the shade, and not on the top.
Mr.. Saul spoke of the difficulty in conquering
the pest 1t could be done, however with Paris
green, but in this city, with its 10000 trees
that remedy would be expensive.

The civil service law works surprises to the
appointing powers sometimes. It is q lottery
or Q Pandorn's box, into which the appointing
power dips without knowing what he will bring
forth. In one case the Post Office department
wanted an additional clerk, and, q the law
directs, the civil service commission was called
upon TO furnish four names of persons pro-
nounced competent by that tribunal When
the certiacation reached the department 1t

It over to his confidential clerk, with instruc.

staggered, but quickly recovering himself he
responded with = cordial shake OF the hand and

will be pleased with your position"
AS the selection had been made in Gen. Ste

assistant darted into the chiet clerks room and
said: Nash, how did this happen?"
"You made the selection, General" was the
reply.
"Indeed, did not"
"Weli, the papers were all sent to Won and
upon their return that name was selected"
turned them over to Haynie," returned
the General.
Then the new clerk was taken to Mr.. Haynie
and formally introduced, with Instructions to
the latter to assign him TO duty. 1t was a genu-

notwithstanding the Trees.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Cannot the Commissioners of the District be
prevailed upon to reconsider the plan of white
washing the trunks ofour beautiful shade trees?
Surely there are more efficient remedies against
caterpiilars than slaked lime, and there Is no
reason to believe that the little pests will return
every year. But the impression of q row of
whitewashed trunks Is sad and melancholy
would be around our public parks We cannot
afford TO make single mistake In treating
with the appearance OF our streets which thus
rarely found Tor similar occasions Let us re-
tain the boxes and instead OF whitewashing
the trunks apply bands OF cotton, which have
been painted with some sticky substance. Such
rings. while not always efficient to check the
growth OF eaterpillars, will prevent them from
tiers, and such will not die on the sticky
bands will be killed by the first frost. f. b.
