The female moths at rest are about 

 three-eighths of an inch at the widest 

 part; in color they are musty brown. 

 The eggs are laid on the under side of 

 the leaves, either singly or several to- 

 gether forming a mass. They hatch in 

 about fourteen days. When mature the 

 caterpillar is about three-quarters of 

 an inch in length. It is green, darker 

 in the back, with longitudinal stripes. 



It generally feeds within a slight silken 

 web, frequently two leaves being 

 brought together and fastened by 

 threads of silk. It works almost en- 

 tirely on the under side of the leaves, 

 eating away the soft green tissue and 

 spoiling the appearance of the foliage. 

 When ready to pupate the caterpillar 

 usually folds over a portion of a leaf 

 and fastens it with threads of fine 

 white silk. In from seventeen to 

 twenty days after pupating the moth 

 emerges. 



The following new spray mixture 

 has recently given excellent control, ac-
