PART I. 



INSECTS IN THE WINDOW GARDEN. 



RED SPIDER. 



Water Remedy. 



LOOK on the outside of the leaves of your plants 

 carefully whenever they seem troubled or diseased, and 

 underneath will be seen from one to an innumerable 

 number of insects, red spiders, which suck the juices 

 entirely out of the leaves of the plants upon which they 

 are allowed to remain. 



They increase very fast in a hot, dry atmosphere. 



Moisture is sure death to red spider. 



The simplest and cheapest possible remedy is clear 

 water, forcibly applied to the foliage, more particularly 

 on the under sides, as often as necessary. 



Syringe the plants freely in the morning before the 

 eun shines upon them, and in the evening after the sun 

 has gone off them.
