 ANDIALS IX.JUEIOU.S TO HORTICULTUEE. 



The number and variety of plants cultivated in the garden is so great 

 and so varied that it is not possible to sub-divide them in detail. For our 

 purpose we may, however, divide them into two sub-sections in connection 

 with their animal enemies : — 



(a) The animals injurious to culinary plants. 



Ifi) The animals injurious to ornamental plants. 



Sub-section (a) of Section 11. 



ANIMALS INJURIOUS TO CUUNABY PLANTS. 



Protozoa to Nemertina ... None. 



Nematoda Various eel-worms {Tylenchus, Heteroderd). (Tomato

Chsetopoda Enchytrseus and a few others damage roots. 



Crustacea Land isopods (Oniscns, etc.) attack roots and seedlings. 



Arachnida Red spiders and various acari damage leaves. 



Hexapoda Most groups of insects attack vegetables— onion fly 



{PJiorhia cepetorimi), cut-worms (Noctuse), thrips, aphis,
