  Phytomyza 
  geniculata, 
  Macq. 
  These 
  flies 
  oviposit 
  on 
  the 
  leaves 
  in 
  

   which 
  the 
  larvae 
  form 
  mines 
  ; 
  they 
  pupate 
  either 
  in 
  the 
  mines 
  or 
  in 
  

   the 
  earth 
  ; 
  5-6 
  generations 
  are 
  bred 
  during 
  the 
  year, 
  the 
  later 
  genera- 
  

   tions 
  being 
  subjected 
  to 
  attacks 
  from 
  parasites. 
  The 
  same 
  larvae 
  

   also 
  mine 
  the 
  leaves 
  of 
  clover, 
  sunflower, 
  peas, 
  ground 
  nuts, 
  endive, 
  

   carrots, 
  cabbage, 
  cucmnbers, 
  market-garden 
  dill 
  and 
  reeds. 
  Burning 
  

   of 
  the 
  leaves 
  attacked, 
  spraying 
  with 
  1 
  in 
  10,000 
  solution 
  of 
  nicotin 
  

   in 
  water 
  and 
  the 
  watering 
  of 
  the 
  compost 
  every 
  14 
  days 
  with 
  a 
  5 
  per 
  

   cent, 
  tobacco 
  extract 
  are 
  recommended. 
  

  

  Adelphocoris 
  lineolatus, 
  Goeze 
  (fam. 
  Miridae), 
  is 
  found 
  everywhere 
  

   in 
  Europe. 
  The 
  injuries 
  to 
  chrysanthemums 
  are 
  caused 
  by 
  the 
  insects 
  

   sucking 
  the 
  juice 
  from 
  the 
  buds, 
  and 
  by 
  oviposition 
  on 
  the 
  young 
  

   shoots 
  or 
  buds, 
  which 
  dry 
  up 
  soon 
  afterwards. 
  Other 
  food-plants 
  of 
  

   this 
  pest 
  include 
  : 
  Beet, 
  Chenopodium, 
  Lucerne, 
  Onions, 
  Euphorbia 
  y 
  

   Eryngium, 
  Carduus, 
  Salvia, 
  Verbascum. 
  In 
  the 
  southern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

   government 
  of 
  Kiev, 
  the 
  author 
  found 
  these 
  pests 
  after 
  the 
  middle 
  

   of 
  June, 
  and 
  I. 
  V. 
  Vassiliev 
  found 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  government 
  of 
  

   Ekaterinoslav 
  after 
  the 
  beginning 
  of 
  June. 
  Two 
  generations 
  are 
  bred 
  

   during 
  the 
  year, 
  the 
  second 
  ovipositing 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  shoots. 
  

   Thus 
  it 
  follows 
  that 
  the 
  proximity 
  of 
  lucerne, 
  beet, 
  or 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  

   above-mentioned 
  weeds 
  is 
  not 
  favourable 
  to 
  the 
  cultivation 
  of 
  

   chrysanthemums. 
  Chifflot 
  recommends 
  spra}"ing 
  with 
  1 
  per 
  cent_, 
  

   tobacco 
  extract, 
  accompanied 
  by 
  a 
  dusting 
  of 
  the 
  shoots 
  and 
  buds 
  

   with 
  sulphur, 
  every 
  14 
  days 
  from 
  May 
  to 
  September 
  ; 
  this 
  remedy 
  

   aiming 
  at 
  destroying 
  the 
  ^^^ngless 
  larvae 
  and 
  preventing 
  oviposition 
  

   by 
  the 
  females. 
  

  

  Aphrophora 
  alni, 
  Fall. 
  (fam. 
  Cercopidae), 
  oviposits 
  on 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  

   of 
  plants, 
  also 
  on 
  chrysanthemums, 
  both 
  larva 
  and 
  imago 
  sucking 
  

   the 
  juices 
  of 
  the 
  plants. 
  The 
  same 
  remedies 
  as 
  against 
  Adelphocoris 
  

   lineolatus 
  are 
  recommended, 
  but 
  the 
  spraying, 
  etc., 
  must 
  begin 
  at 
  the 
  

   lend 
  of 
  March. 
  

  

  Steganoptycha 
  minutana, 
  Hb. 
  (fam. 
  Tortricidae), 
  which 
  attacks 
  in 
  

   the 
  larval 
  stage 
  the 
  collar 
  and 
  tender 
  shoots 
  of 
  the 
  yomig 
  plants, 
  

   [may 
  be 
  controlled 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  way.
