PEACH YELLOWS.—This disease is making considerable trouble in certain
parts of the country. It attacks trees about the time they are coming
to the age of most prolific bearing to such an extent that in certain
portions of the peach-growing regions healthy old trees are unknown.
The symptoms of the disease are: Yellowish-green color of leaves; small
leaves tinged with red; the new shoots small, wiry, and clustered,
especially when growing upon the trunk or larger branches; fruit
ripens prematurely, is highly colored, and insipid or bitter to the
taste. The sickly yellowish-green foliage may be due to injury or lack
of nourishment, but when coupled with the other characters given the
presence of the “yellows” can be considered as certain. The only sure way
is to dig out and burn every tree as soon as it is seen to be affected.
This plan has been followed in Michigan, where, between 1870 and 1880,
the disease was very bad. Now hardly a case of “yellows” can be found
in many of the peach regions. Constant attention and prompt action have
proved successful, in this case, at least.

Straws show which way the wind blows. Watch them—and be convinced. When
you see all sorts of washing powders patterned after _Pearline_; when you
see it imitated in appearance, in name, in everything except merit; when
you find three persons using _Pearline_ where two used it a year ago;
when you hear it as a household word with the best housekeepers; when you
find its former enemies now its staunchest friends;—then you may know the
wind is taking you along toward _Pearline_.
Why not go with it? You are losing money by trying to head the other way;
money, and labor, and time and patience.
Go with the rest—use _Pearline_—and you stop losing, and begin to
gain. Millions realize that there is everything to gain and nothing to
lose—with _Pearline_.
