THE APPLE WEEVIL.
BLENHEIM, January 18. With reference to a telegram received by the Government from South Australia re the apple insect, the contributor of "Garden Notes" to the 'Express' says that a statement comes from Toowoomba (Queensland) to the effect that a fruiterer and practical gardener there exhibited at the ' Chronicle' office a bottle containing hundreds of live insects or email beetles which had been taken out of Californian apples just received. These proved to be the apple weevil (Anthovymus-pomorum), a more destructive pest than the codlin moth.
