Tlio worm is one of the cutworms, of 

 which there are many forms and all of 

 which are destructive. We have seen 

 many of tiiem in the greenhouses, espe- 

 cially in the elu-ysanthemum houses. The 

 best method of extermination we know 

 of is to keep a sharp lookout for them 

 and catcli tliem by iiand. They are not 

 nsually so numerous as one woukl think 

 by tlie amount of damage done, as they 

 are voracious feeders and one of them 

 will destroy mucli stock in a short tinu\ 

 Their feeding time is at night, and un- 

 k>ss you look for tliem early in tlie morn- 

 ing you may not see many of them, hut 

 if you see a freshly eaten bloom or 

 shoot you will likely "find ^Mr. Cutworm 

 buried somewhere near, just below the 

 surface of the soil. They are fond of 

 any young, succulent growth. Poisoning 

 is sometimes resorted to. but we do not 

 like to nse strong jioisons too freely on 

 stock for cutting, and unless yoti can 

 find some bait of \vhi<'h they are much 

 fonder tlian carnation blooms the 

 chances of reacliing them with jioison 

 will be (|uite remote. A. V. J. 1>.
