(Walcheren Broccoli cleaned on Aug 29th —  Sept 20th Half-grown leaf— when held up to light the difference was wonderful between the 2 sides, as the puncture, & holes were larger on the right & cleaned side — showed the leaf to persons

left side 113 — right— cleaned side 357.

Cleaned 2 leaves as above. — white wool

(Sept 4th 9˚ It is wonderful (especially with one leaf) that in one week, the cleaned side has been far more punctured than other side with bloom.) I could see hardly a puncture on the left side.

(Sept 9th 7˚ 30 A.m. The leaf was now barely 12 inches in length, & there was not so great a difference between the two sides, yet I gathered it (only 11 days after having been cleaned. The difference was conspicuous; on left side there were 72 punctures & holes, on right side 265. —
