SNAILS OR SLUGS. 



Please tell us the best remedy for 

 snails or slugs. E. N. 



Prof. Jarvis, at the last meeting of 

 the Canadian Horticultural Association, 

 spoke as follows on these: 



' * Snails or slugs are not insects, but 

 belong to the group of animals known 

 as mollusca, soft-bodied creatures fre- 

 quently covered with a shell. They at- 

 tack many species of greenhouse plants, 

 lettuce, violets, etc. 



' ' They prefer moist situations, hence 

 drainage, where practicable, is a pre- 

 ventive and a remedy. Trapping with 

 cabbage leaves, sweetened bran, etc., is 

 the usual practice and clear, weak lime- 

 water sprinkled over the plants and on 

 the soil will drive them out. ' '
