CATERPILLARS. 



I would be pleased to have you give 

 me a little advice on two things, a grey 

 caterpillar and a grey miller. Can you 

 tell me whether these millers produce 

 the caterpillars? If one is the cause of 

 the other, will you please tell me what 

 to do in order to either prevent or de- 

 stroy these pests, without injuring my 

 plants? K. L. S. 



As our correspondent does not name 

 the plants infested by the caterpillars 

 and moths or "millers," we are un- 

 able to tell whether these are outdoors 

 or in the houses. Caterpillars, as is 

 well known, are the larvae of moths and 

 butterflies and if we can destroy the 

 latter before the eggs are laid, which 

 hatch the destructive caterpillars, much 

 good will have been accomplished. It 

 is, however, a diflcult task to do so. 

 Even were fumigation used strong 

 enough night after night to kill the 

 moths in tlte greenhouses, we are still 

 likely to have a crop of caterpillars. It 

 is well to kill all possible butterflies by 

 hand and thus lessen the crops all we 

 can. 



At this season a caterpillar of the 

 nature named attacks the foliage on 

 chrysanthemums. Hand picking every 

 morning, looking under the foliage, is 

 the only safe cure. Spraying with in- 

 secticides of a poisonous nature cannot 

 be recommended. 



Caterpillars are numerous just now 

 and much watchfulness is needed. A 

 great damage is speedily done. We 

 think hand picking the safest remedy 

 for E, L. Q. if his plants are indoors. 

 For outdoor trees and shrubs use Dis- 

 parene at the rate of four pounds to 

 fifty gallons of water for any which 

 may appear. As this insecticide whit- 

 ens the foliage and adheres closely to 

 it, plants indoors and those grown for 

 cutting outside should not be sprayed 

 with it. W. N. Ceaio. 



Charles City, Ia.— M. H. Weatherbee 

 is giving most of his space to carna- 

 tions, the stock looking fine.
