reserve packed in the seeds. Such biennial plants as carrots, beets, parsnips, 

 turnips, and many of the dock-weeds store food in large fieshy roots during 

 the first growing season. Then, in the following spring, the food stored in 

 the roots is used in developing a new shoot, which bears seeds before the 

 end of the second summer. Many perennial plants — in fact, all that pass 

 through a dormant stage during the winter — store food in the roots or 

 stems during the growing season. And from this store they develop new 

 buds and leaves the following spring. Asparagus, as marketed, consists of 

 tender young shoots grown from food stored in roots and underground 

 stems during the preceding seasons.

LIFE HISTORY OF THE CODLING MOTH 



The "worm" of the apple is the larva of the codling moth, which feeds only during 

 the larval stage. In early summer the larva enters the open end of newly set green 

 apples, where the tips of the sepals come together. It feeds on the apple pulp and 

 grows larger. Early in July it emerges from the fruit and pupates on the bark. The 

 adult comes out of the pupa and later lays eggs on the bark of twigs. These eggs 

 hatch into larvae, which eat their way into the sides of apples. The full-grown larvae 

 come out of the apple in late fall and form pupae in protected places under the bark, 

 where they pass the winter. The moth thus produces two broods in one year
