INDEX 



TO 



ANIMALS 



BENEFICIAL 



OR 



INJURIOUS 



TO 



HORTICULTURE 



T^ULL lists of tlio Insects and other Animals of special interest to liorticulturists are 



guLjoinod, fhe useful species being given in one list and tlie injurious in anotKer, 



In 



order to facilitate reference to any species^ tlie heading is given in heavy type under wliich 

 the information concerning it is chiefly to be found. In the case of certain species^ how- 

 ever^ that injure many tinds of plants without being specially restricted to any {e.g.^ Cock- 

 chafex's^ Mole Crickets^ Wireworms)^ it has not been found possible to give complete lists of 

 references, and for these animals, therefore, only the most important headings have been 

 mentioned. 



Every effort has been made to render the information given in the Dictionary of 

 Gardektng upon this very important department of horticulture a reliable statement of 

 all that is known with regard to the friends and foes of the gardener and farmer in the ^ 

 British Isles^ and of the most effectual methods of detecting the presence and checking 

 the ravages of harmful species. To do this more thoroughly foreign species have been 

 described where there seems reason to believe that they may yet be found in Britain. Buf' 



r 



even should in the future some foes not described in this work prove hurtful, the means 



r 



recommended under the headings in this list will be found beneficial against them also.
