1. Paris green or Arsenate of Lead when the caterpillars first ap- 

 pear. 2. Repeat about every ten days till heading begins. 3. 

 After heading begins, use Kerosene Emulsion or hot water as 

 often as may be needed. 4. Fresh lime applied while dew is 

 still on is also a good method. 



ZEBRA CATERPILLAR:

 yet in company. 2. Use Paris green when needed, till the head 

 begins to form, or the "flower" appears in the case of cauliflowei-.

 used. See Report of the De])artment for 189S. 



ROOT MAGGOT: 



1. When the maggots are first noticed, make a snuiU holt- near the 

 main root of the plant, pour in half a teaspoonful of Carbon Di- 

 sulphide, and close up the hole. 2. Tarred paper cut to let the 

 plant grow up through the centre but fitting closely to the stem 

 and onto the ground is a good preventative method. See Re- 

 port of Department for 1898.
