Limes. Besides spraying- to kill the caterpillars in 

 spring, grease banding late in October is a pre- 

 ventive, as it obstructs the passage of the wingless 

 females up the trees to deposit their eggs. Another 

 species attacks Conifers. 



GEONOMA. 



Dwarf, elegant Palms (prd. Talma-), of somewhat 

 slow growth. One species, gracilis, was formerly a 

 popular table plant, but of late Cocos wcddelliana 

 baa displaced it. Propagation, by >cv<ls ><>\vn in 

 pans in bottom heat. All are stove plants, need- 

 ing good loam mixed with a little leaf mould and 

 sand. I'M; small, well-drained pots ; sponge and 

 syringe the plants frequently. Keep them as near 

 the glass as safety permits.

GEODORUM. 



A comparatively small genus of East Indian 

 Orchids (ord Orchidacese) that are terrestrial, and 

 need stove culture. They produce rather large 

 leaves and erect spikes, and have tuberous root- 

 stocks. Increased by division. Well-drained pots 

 and a compost of fibrous ?oara and chopped 

 sphagnum will suit them.

GEOMETRA. 



A genus of moths, several of which are only too 

 well known to gardeners. The Pale Brindled 

 Beauty (polosaria) attacks the young foliage of 

 many trees, and must be combated in the same 

 way as the Lackey Moth. The Mottled Umber 

 <defoliata) is a voracious feeder on Apples and
