pillars hatch out in September, and feed for a time 

 upon various low herbs, including a few garden 

 plants, after which hybernation takes place, and 

 they reappear to feed up in April. They should be 

 collected and destroyed. The large size and 

 thick mass of brown hairs make tlie cater- 

 pillars so conspicuous and easily detected that 

 no excuse should be put forth for not exter- 

 minating them. Weeds that harbour and feed 

 them should be cleared away.

 early summer in pots or in a frame, the seedlings
