Slugworms—continued. 
on the foliage in the early morning should be tried. Where 
the attack is a bad one, and Paris Green can be applied, 
it should be employed, as being chewing insects the 
Slugworms are readily poisoned by the arsenical prepara- 
tions. As a general remedy the quicklime, however, will 
be better.
