bushes ; but do not at first let any of it touch the 

 branches or leaves; then shake each bush suddenlv 

 and smartly, and the caterpillars will fall into the 

 lime; if the bush be not shaken suddenly, the 

 caterpillars, on being a little disturbed, will take so 

 firm a hold as not easily to be shaken ofl'. After 

 this is done, sift some of the lime over the bushes ; 

 this will drive down those which may have lodged 

 on the branches. The caterpillars ought to be 

 swept up next day, and the bushes well washed 

 with clear lime-water mixed with urine ; this will 

 destroy any caterpillars that may still remain, and 

 also the Aphides, if there are any on the bushes.
