MAZE. An arrangement of hedges, the paths between 
being so puzzling that it is extremely difficult to find 
the exit. Yew forms an excellent hedge, and quickly

suitable plants are Beech, Privet, Laurel, &c.

MEALY BUG. A popular name for several insects 
which cover their bodies with a meal-like substance. ‘This 
characteristic, however, brings together a few inseets which 
are not Mealy Bugs proper, although they are meal-coyered 
—Pseudococcus wlicis, found upon Gorse, &c.; and the root- 
feeding Ripersia terrestris. Strictly speaking, the true 
Mealy Bugs are Dactylopius citri, a ubiquitous pest; 
D. longispinus, found upon many plants; and D. Walker, 
a Grass-infesting species. As a rule, the difficulty in 
dealing with these pests is not so much in regard to the 
perfect insects as with the egg-sacs. What is known as 
Kerosene Hmulsion is one of the best insecticides, but this 
must not be applied indiscriminately, or the remedy will
