 dry for several months in winter.

 separate articles under their respective headings, so that 

 only a few of the more general pests need be mentioned 

 here, with the insecticides employed to keep them in 

 check. 



Acari or Mites are best known in the domain of the 

 gardener by the ubiquitous and destructive Red Spider 

 (Tetra'nychus tfla'rius), which feeds on almost any culti- 

 vated plant, whether grown for the sake of its foliage, 

 flowers, fruits, or as a vegetable. The conditions that 

 favour it are a dry, parched atmosphere, dry foliage, and 

 likewise when plants are kept dry at the root. Situa-
