IFormj on Honeysuckle Vines. 

 Try dusting with fresh lime or hellebore powder j 

 otherwise hand-picking is the only remedy. 



Worms on, Zaivua. 



A good way to get rid of these is to take up the turf 

 and relay it on an inch of fine coal-ashes ; if the grass is 

 weakly, spread a thin coating of good fine soil on the 

 ashes before laying the turf down. 



Raspberry and Currant Worms. 



Air-slacked lime is better than ashes, which are often 

 used. 



A single application of the lime has been sufficient to 

 rout a large army of worms. 



A gardener, setting his red and large grape currants 

 in alternate hills with the black currant, was pleased 

 after trial of three years to find neither infested with 

 the currant-worm, the black currant seeming to 

 prove a perfect preventive ; whilst in other portions of 

 his garden, not so planted alternately, the red currante 

 were covered with the worms and were utterly de- 

 stroyed. 



Tho peculiar odor of the leaf of the black currant is 

 particularly disagreeable to many of the insect tribe.
