HORTICULTURAL MATTERS.
The following resolutions we're adopted
by the horticultural commissioners Of
Orange county at their last meeting:
Resolved, That November, December
and January are the best months in the
year for destroying red scale, for various
reasons.
Firet-The lowness of temperature
prevents injury to the trees and much
stronger Iapplicstions OF the gases can
be made.
Second-During these months the
young and tender growths liable to be
injured by fumigation or spraying are
absent.
Third-No injury to fruit buds is pos
sible, because they do not appear until
late in the season.
Fourth-One bug destroyed at this
time is equivalent to about 150 in mid
summer.
Fifth-Very little or no injury can
come to the fruit at this season OF the
year because OF its maturity.
Sixth--It the work is neglected until
the new fruit is infested it will still
have to be disinfected at the risk Of
marking.
Seventh-Unless the scale is destroyed
before it makes q Judgment on the fruit
1t never can be efectually done.
