 ANIMALS INJURIOUS TO HORTICULTURE. 



The number and variety of plants cultivated in the garden is so great 

 and so varied that it is not possible to sub-divide them in detail. For our 

 purpose we may, however, divide them into two sub-sections in connection 

 with their animal enemies : — 



(a) The animals injurious to culinary plants. 



{(3) The animals injurious to ornamental plants, 



Sul)-section (a) of Section 11. 



ANIMAIiS INJURIOUS TO CULINARY PLANTS. 



Protozoa to Nemertina . . . None. 



Nematoda Various eel-worms (Tijlcnclms, Hetcrodcra). (Tomato 



root disease). 



Chsetopoda Encliytrseus and a few others damage roots. 



Crustacea Land isopods (Oniscns, etc.) attack roots and seedlings. 



Arachnida Red spiders and various acari damage leaves. 



Hexapoda Most groups of insects attack vegetables — onion fly 



[Fhorhia ccpetoruni), cut-worms (Nocttise), thrips, aphis, 

 leather jackets {TipHlidm). 



Chilopoda None. 



Diplopoda Millepedes attack various roots (Julus, Polydcsvms, etc.), 



Mollusca Snails and slugs attack delicate leaves. 



Amphibians None. 



Reptiles None. 



Birds Several finches, the sparrow, and other small birds, as long-
