HEAD LETTUCE UNDEB GLASS. 



Pests in the Lettuce House. 



In The Review of August 31 the 

 writer gave an account of his method 

 of growing head lettuce under glass, 

 but had no space for a discussion of 

 the fighting of pests and diseases or the 

 selection of suitable varieties of the 

 vegetable. A few words on these phases 

 of the subject may now be of interest. 



There are some insects that attack 

 lettuce, but a little vigilance in pre- 

 vention will do more than any elaborate 

 cures. One of the most persistent pests 

 is a green worm about an inch long. 

 It is so exactly the color of the lettuce 

 leaves as to be unobserved except by 

 the closest scrutiny and it also remains 

 on the under side of the leaves. Fre- 

 quently, therefore, the first evidence of 

 its presence is a hole which it has eaten 

 through the leaf, spoiling it absolutely. 

 It is astonishing what damage worms of 

 this sort can do in a single night if not 

 checked, often going from one plant 

 to another in the row and eating just 

 the tenderest leaves of each. 



An Ounce of Prevention. 



After experimenting with various 

 kinds' of insect powders and fumiga- 

 tions, I discovered a simple and effec- 

 tive way of discouraging these pests by 

 putting one pint of powdered tobacco, 

 such as is ordinarily used for fumigat- 

 ing, into a gallon of cold water, mixing 

 well and applying by means of an ordi- 

 nary sprinkling can to the plants in 

 the evening. Being anxious about the 

 effect of this treatment on the plants, 

 I went at it rather cautiously, but at 

 the end of a week, when my stock 

 showed no ill effects and the worms had 

 entirely disappeared, I considered the 

 plan a success. Now, as soon as the 

 lettuce has been transplanted for the
