shoots spring up in abundance ; among these six 

 inches or a foot of fine soil is thrown, and in tw 

 or three years nice-rooted plants are obtained 

 Deep, loamy soil suits all the varieties, as well a 

 the species, best. The white lime is propagatec 

 chiefly by layers and grafting. The America'm 

 and its many varieties are very ornamental, bu 

 not so hardy as the European in our moist climate

Stove epiphytes. Divisions and suckers. The 

 weaker kinds do best in baskets very shallow, in 

 sphagnum, turfy peat, broken pots, and charcoal ; 

 the stronger-growing ones may be potted high in 

 turfy peat, a little turfy loam, and charcoal. Winter 

 temp., 55 to 60 ; summer, 60 to 80.

TINEA. A genus of moths, the larvcD 

 of which are very destructive. 



T. dauceKa. Carrot Moth. Head and 

 back and upper wings reddish brown; 

 abdomen grey and white. Its caterpillar 

 "s greenish grey, with black tubercles, and 

 lives on the flowers and seeds of the 

 carrot, but prefers the parsnip, t 



T. padella, Small Ermine Moth^is 

 white, with black dots on the upper wings. 

 Eggs deposited in June and July near 

 the hlossom-buds of the hawthorn, 

 euonymus, apple, and pear-tree. Cater- 

 pillars appear in autumn, and inclose the 

 wigs with a web. In the following spring 

 they attack the petals and calyx. Colour, 

 dull lead, with a black head. 



T.cierckella. Pear-tree Blister Moth. 

 The caterpillars of this raise dark-brown 

 blisters on the leaves of the pear-tree, 

 and less often on those of the apple. 

 The motn is active and minute, shining 

 ike pearly satin, the wings having an 

 range ground, spotted with black and 

 ther colours. It appears in May. Mr. 

 Curtis says, " To check this disease, it 

 will be advisable to wash the tree with 

 oapsuds the end of May or beginning of 

 'une, when the moths are pairing and 

 aying eggs for a future progeny ; and if 

 i very valuable tree be only partially a't- 

 acked, the blistered leaves might be 

 athered and burnt as soon as any spots 

 egan to appear in August." 



T. capitella. Triple-spotted Currant Ti- 

 nea. The larvse of this feed upon the pita
