Cutworms early in the season are very destructive to the young plants, but may be warded off by the use of the poisoned bran-mash. The leaves are liable to be attacked by Flea-beetles, the Tarnished Plant-bug and Grasshoppers. The most conspicuous enemy of both plants is: The Five-Spotted Hawk Moth, or Tomato Worm (Protoparce celeus)— (Figs 42 and 43).
