THE WHITE FLY. 



With ferns under glass the white fly 

 is a terrible nuisance, since not oixly 

 does it in the larva form disfigure and 

 impoverish the plants by gnawing the 

 epidermis and befouling them, but the 

 adult fly is even more voracious, so that 

 infested plants become pervaded with 

 sinuous white marks, somewhat like 

 those caused by leaf miners, and get -en- 

 tirely unhealthy. In unheated houses 

 the fly disappears entirely in the late 

 autumn, but it leaves an abundance of 

 eggs in the fronds, and if these be ever- 

 green, they constitute a harborage 

 whence a new generation issues the fol- 

 lowing season. On deciduous ferns the 

 eggs perish with the fronds. Early in 

 April the eggs hatch and the young flies 

 can then be detected as minute whitish 

 insects like thrips, to which family in- 

 deed the pests belong. In this state 

 they travel but little, but about the mid- 

 dle of May they attain full larval size, 

 and then change into the winged form, 

 speedily flit about snipe fashion and 

 lay their eggs freely in all direc- 

 tions. Fumigation with nicotine extract 

 is fatal to them, but it is evident that 

 when the flying period commences it is 

 preceded by a period of dormancy dur- 

 ing which the insect is immune, and 

 hence though all the active forms are 

 killed, a few days later some individuals 

 appear on the wing, and these are quite 

 suflicient to reinstate the plague. Hence 

 a second fumigation is required. This 

 year, however, taught by experience, we 

 waited until the last week in April, 

 when presumably all the eggs of last 

 year were hatched, and the young brood 

 about half grown, and then fumigated. 

 The result, we are glad to say, was ab- 

 solute riddance, and the strictest sub- 

 sequent search has failed to find a sin- 

 gle survivor, even on the worst infested 

 plants. This was due to the fact that a 

 time was selected when the whole com- 

 munity was at our mercy, and none of 

 them had reached the stage of protect- 

 ive dormancy aforesaid. — Gardeners'
