articles. Underneath those shelves 

 are pegs for hanging the hammers, 

 axes, saws, hatchets, mallets, and stake- 

 drivers, trowels, hand- forks, reels and 

 lines, hedge-clipping shears, scythes, 

 chisels, the various sixes of one-handed 

 crane-necked hoes, crowbars, mops, 

 hair-brushes, and brooms, and various 

 other articles. The scythes are hung 

 up over the end beam, and on the other 

 side without shelves the hand-barrows 

 are placed; birch and heath brooms, 

 both round and fan-shaped, that are in 

 daily use ; and various other articles. 

 The garden rules are hung in a con- 

 spicuous place ; also in the tool-house. 

 Every tool is to be put into its proper 

 or allotted place, every night, thoroughly 

 cleansed ; any omission of which sub- 

 jects the defaulter to a fine. Each 

 tool-house is under the same system. 

 We have separate wheelbarrow sheds ; 

 sheds for placing soils in the dry, 

 arranged in old casks ; varieties of 

 sand, pebbles, and flints, for potting 

 purposes, with lofts over for flower pot 

 stowage ; a shed for the liquid-manure 

 casks, which is one of the most essential 

 and valuable of all. A shed for placing 

 the charred articles of all kinds, equal 

 to the last; a potting shed ; mushroom 

 shed; stove shed; fruit rooms, and 

 onion lofts, &c., &c. Each and all are 

 kept under the above regulations."

TO'RTRIX. A genus of moths. 



T. lusca'na generates a red grub, and 

 T. cynosbana a black-spotted green grub, 

 both very destructive of blossom -buds. 



T. vitisa'na. Vine Tortrix. Found 

 on the vine in April and May ; head 

 yellow ; upper wings marbled with 

 rusty and grey colours. Caterpillars 

 appear as the blossom-buds open, which 

 they unite with white threads. 



T. ni'jrica'na. Red Plum Grab Tor- 

 trix. Moth black, appearing in June. 

 Eggs deposited on the plum; grub, 

 small red, pierces the fruit, and is found 

 near the stone. Mr. Curtis observes, 

 that, " If the plums that have fallen off 

 be examined, a small red caterpillar 

 will be found within it ; the caterpillar 

 being generally full grown when the 

 plum falls off, soon creeps out, and 

 penetrates the loose bark, forming a 

 case in which it remains during the 

 winter. Early in the spring it changes 

 into a light brown pupa, and the moth 

 emerges about June. The moth is not 

 so large as a house-fly ; its wings are 

 almost black, and when the sun is 

 shining on them they have a remark- 

 ably metallic lustre ; on the outer edge 

 of the fore-wings there is an appearance 

 of fine silver dust. Among the reme- 

 dies proposed to lessen the ravages of 

 this insect, it is recommended to shake 

 the trees, and remove all the fruit that 

 falls off; and another good method is 

 to scrape the rough pieces of bark of 

 the stem under which the cocoons are 

 concealed ; this must be done late in 



Stove evergreens. Cuttings of the points of the autumn, or early in the spring. ^

Differs little to a common observer from 

 the preceding. Where bushes are much 

 infested with the larvae of these insects, 

 it is much better to cut them down, 

 and burn the shoots; this and hand- 

 picking are the only remedies we are 

 acquainted with. Care must be taken 

 not tc disturb the maggots when col- 

 lecting them, for they will let them- 

 selves down with threads, and thus 

 escape. 



shoots, or small side-shoots, in sandy soil, and 

 in a little heat ; if far enough from the glass of 

 the frame or pit, they will want no bell-glass ; 

 fibry loam and sandy peat, in equal proportions, 

 with another part made up of dried old cow- 

 dung, charcoal, and rough sand. Winter temp., 

 42 to 50; summer, 60 to 80.
