INSECTS INFESTING THE TOMATO. 



When fully grown these larva' attach themselves to gome 

 object by the hind part of the body and soon cast oft' their 

 skins,' which are worked backward and allowed to remain, en- 

 veloping the hind part of the pupa. (Figs. 320, 8186, 314c 

 and 312, J,). The pupa? somewhat resemble the perfect bee- 

 tles, but differ by being destitute of the hard wing-cases, and 

 also in having a row of spines along each side of the body. 



Remedy. — Use No 113 ; if seriously infested, use Xo. 103.
