The red-humped caterpillars of .Xo/odoii/a coHciniia will 1"^ found, in the early stages of their growth. l\ing closely packed, side by side, on a few of the leaves of the apple-tree. So will the striped caterpillars of Pv- fjara rniiiislni. The leaves _ so occupied should ^'^Tent ! ,n^^r^,«^^^ picked and trodden with ' ' , their burdens under foot. A free use of hellebore in ^vater, and applied by means of the water-can and rose, will free the berrv bushes and canes from the larvx" of Saw-flies and Geometrina. The war ^.gainst Aphides should commence as . :r y in the year as possible : for it should be borne in mind, that only every ei-hth or ninth generation of plant-lice indulges in connubi- ality. Winged males and females appear in the Autumn, (or early Sprin-). AH the succeeding broods consist of wingless females, to the" eighth generation. Males then appear again, to reorganize Aphidean society for another succession of broods. A little cluster of plant-lice, overlooked, will increase and widen its operations,. f.
