IMPERFECT. This term is applied to flowers that 
lack either stamens or pistils. 
INCARVILLEA. Amongst plants for outside 
culture of comparatively recent introduction none is 
more beautiful than I. Delavayi, which has proved itself 
perfectly hardy. In height it grows some 2ft., and it 
may be placed in the borders; or seedlings plentifully 
employed in the beds of hardy subjects now so often 
seen would proye very decorative and uncommon.

ing should be added: 
I. arguta (sharp). A synonym of Amphicome arguta.

INSECTICIDES. [In gardening these may be 
described as preparations which destroy animal pests 
generally, and not insects only, as the name would at 
first sight seem to suggest. They vary greatly with the 
pests under consideration, and the universal Insecticide 
has yet to be discovered. With some plant-feeding 
animals the employment of Insecticides is practically 
useless, owing to the peculiar habits of the pests—shoot- 
and trunk-infesting kinds, which feed protected, like Wood 
Leopard and Goat Moths, Currant-Shoot Moths, Leaf 
Twisters (Tortrices), Case-Makers, &c. 
Before any Insecticide can be used effectively, the 
gardener must determine how the pest feeds, as on that 
much depends. A poisonous Insecticide that would be fatal 
to a chewing insect, like the caterpillars of Moths, &c., 
would be harmless in the case of a sucking insect or 
other animal, which, before taking any nutriment from 
the leaves, first bores throngh the poison area. Then,
