T. ocella'na. This is the parent of 

 the red-bud caterpillar, which destroys 

 the buds of the apple and pear. Upper 

 wings grey, with a white transverse 

 band. 



T. Wceberia'na. Plum-Tree Tortrix. 

 Its larva feeds on the inner bark of 

 the plum, apricot, almond, and peach. 

 The grubs pierce holes through the 

 bark, which may be detected by small 

 heaps of red powder upon it. Moth 

 brown; grub greenish, with a red head. 



T. pomona'na. Codling Moth. Its 

 reddish-white grub is common in apples 

 and pears. Moth light grey, streaked 

 with dark grey. Seen of an evening 

 during May, and the grubs appear soon 

 after. All fallen apples should be de- 

 stroyed, because they usually contain 

 this or other grubs, which will other- 

 wise produce moths, and multiply the 

 evil. 



T. turiona'na, T. hyrcynia'na, T. resi- 

 ne'lla and T. buolia'na, all infest pine- 

 trees, injuring them by depositing their 

 eggs in the buds, which are subse- 

 quently preyed upon by their cater- 

 pillars.

TOUENEFO'ETIA. (Named after J. P. 

 Tournefort, a great systematic botanist. 

 Nat. ord., Ehretiads [Ehretiacese] . 

 Linn., -Pentandria \-Monogynia. Al- 

 lied to the Heliotrope.) 



Cuttings of young shoots, in April or August, 

 in sandy soil, under glass, and in a little heat. 

 Some, such as Heliotropioides, make a fair bed 

 out of doors ; except for this purpose, they are 

 not worth house-room, either in a greenhouse 

 or a plant-stove ; any light common soil suits 

 them, and they may be planted out in the 

 middle of May.

Stove evergreen trees. Cuttings of half- 

 ripened shoots, in sand, under a bell-glass, in 

 heat ; sandy peat and fibry loam. Winter 

 temp., 58 to 65; summer, 65 to 90, and 

 moist atmosphere.

TEACHE'LIUM. Throatwort. (From 

 trachelos, the neck; supposed efficacy 

 in diseases of the trachea. Nat. ord., 

 Bellworts [Campanulaceee]. Linn., ft- 

 Pentandria \-Monogynia.} 



Hardy herbaceous perennial. Seeds, in a 

 slight hotbed, in spring ; also by cuttings of 

 young shoots in sandy soil, in April, or at the 

 end of summer; sandy loam, and a little 

 vegetable mould.

 the fruit. Nat. ord., Umbellifers [Apia- 

 ceffi]. Linn., 5-Pentandria \-Mono- 

 gynia.) 



All the following are greenhouse, New Hol- 

 land, evergreen plants, except Ccerulea. The 

 annuals never do much good in the open air, 

 however raised, but if sown in a gentle hot- 

 bed, in March, pricked out and potted, and 

 flowered in the greenhouse in summer, they 

 will reward the trouble ; sandy loam and leaf- 

 mould ; shrubs, cuttings of young shoots, 

 under a bell-glass, in sandy soil ; sandy loam 

 and fibry peat. Winter temp., 40 to 60.
