This comprises a general essay upon the codlin moth, with recommendations for its destruction. Efforts have been made to determine how long the pest has been known in the state and how widely it is distributed. "Many localities seem to be free from the moth, while in other parts from 50 per cent. to 75 per cent., and in one case 90 per cent, of the fruit is re" ported injured this year. The longest period of injury given is eight years ; the average period is but two and one-half years. It is a noticeable fact that 63 per cent, of the orchards suffering the greatest injury has been affected only one year. This gives us some idea of the rapid increase of this pest in localities where it has gained a foothold. This should be evidence sufficient to show that these localities and finally the fruit section of the entire state will be overrun by this destructive enemy if its progress is not checked. It is found that the injury thus far is confined mainly to the counties of Ormsby, Washoe, Elko and Douglas. According to the answers received, over 30 per cent, of the apples of these counties are injured this year. It is generally acknowledged that the apples raised in Nevada are of the first quality.

When it becomes generally known that this fruit can be profitably raised in this state, it is more than probable that there will be a great increase in the extent of our apple culture".

Peach Notes.

Varieties of Peaches for Alabama.

Notes are made upon varieties of native plums. " All of these varieties, except Brill and Hendricks, should be picked when they commence coloring, and ripened in the house if for family consumption, or packed, if for market, as soon as gathered. They ripen en route, acquiring a brilliant color and better flavor than when ripened on the tree. The plum is one of the most profitable fruits for shipping to northern markets. The Wild Goose has brought from $6.00 to $10.00 per bushel in the New York market for the last ten years".

"The Hattie and Marianna grow readily from cuttings and are being used as stocks for peaches. They seem to be less subject to attack by the peach borer than either the peach or other varieties of plums. The Missouri and Cumberland, on account of late flowering, escaped frost in 1887 and 1888 when the fruit on all other varieties was killed." L. H. B.
