budding, the small, almost inconspicuous buds at the 

 base of the year's shoot are to be chosen ; deep, loamy soil.

 to grow ; in all poor soils it is better to be transplanted, 

 so as to cut the tap-root, and cause the roots to feed 

 more among the good surface-soil.

JUNIPER MOTH. Two species of moth attack the 

 Juniper, namely, Thera juniper ata and T. conifer ata. 

 The caterpillars of T. juniperata are apple-green, whitish 

 above, with a lemon-yellow line on the back. Moth is a 

 little under to a little over an inch in expanse, and pale 

 grey, with darker markings. The caterpillar of T. coni- 

 ferata is bright green, with a bluish-white dorsal line. 

 The moth is under one inch in expanse, greyish-brown, 

 with a dark blotch at the base of the wing. The cater- 

 pillars of the Juniper Moth (T. juniperata) may be found 

 occasionally on the Juniper hi July and August, the 

 moths in October ; those of the other species in June, 

 and the moths in July. Hand-picking the caterpillars 

 when observed is an effectual remedy. The moths may 

 be taken amongst the bushes with a sweeping net. 



JUNI'PERUS. Juniper. (From the Celtic juniperus, 

 rough. Nat. ord. Conifers [Coniferas]. Linn. 22-Diacia,

Seeds, which will retain their vitality for years, and 

 when sown, seldom vegetate under a twelvemonth, and 

 sometimes nearer two years ; cuttings in the end of 

 summer, in a shady border, in sandy, firm soil, and 

 covered with hand-glasses ; sandy loam. The berries 

 of the common juniper are used for flavouring gin.
