Steamship Company. instead of being
brought ashore. will be consigned TO a
furnace. Both shipments came from
Japan and are bug-infested.
The oranges will be placed in air
tight chambers and fumigated with
hydrocyanic acid gas. This will kill
all the bugs and their egss in from
three 10 six hours. Mr.. Craw will then
examine the fruits again, and if every
thing in the shape of a pest is killed
the fruit be turned over TO the owners.
The peach trees were over twelve
feet high. and were intended as orna-
ments for Mr. Center's garden. They
were not desired so much for the fruit
as for the beautiful double blossom
they bear when in bloom. All of them
were infested with Diaspio amygdali,
q pest unknown in this country. When
this was explained 10 Mr. Center he at
once ordered the trees burnel. This is
the third attempt that Mr.. Center has
made to get japanese peach trees free
from pests. but each one has failed.
