CABBAGE PLANT. 



CABBAGE BUTTERFLY. 



There are two species of the common cabbage butterfly in 

 Alabama. One known as the soitthern cabbage worm is a 

 native of this country. The other known as the imported 

 cabbage worm was introduced from Europe about 1857, and 

 has since spread nearly all over the United States and Can- 

 ada, and has almost exterminated the native speciee. The life 

 histories and habits of these two insects are so nearly alike 

 that, for our present purposes, a description of those of the 

 imported cabbage worm will answer for both.
