SCLE'VA. Hawk Fly. Of this genus 

 there are several species, of which the 

 most common are S. ribc'sii and 8. 

 pyra'stri. Wherever aphides are abun- 

 dant, whether on the cabbage, hop, or 

 elsewhere, there is a fleshy green 

 maggot. This is the larva of a hawk- 

 fly, and should be left undisturbed, as 

 it is a voracious destroyer of plant lice.

SCAMMONY. Convo'lvulus scammo'nia. 



SCARES are but very inefiicient pro- 

 tections for fruits, as birds soon sit on 

 the vjery branches which bear the maul- 

 kin. To frighten them effectually, it is . 

 best to employ boys for the short time 



scaring is required. Over seed-beds a 

 net is the best protection ; but threads 

 tightened across the beds are very 

 effectual.
