These are pale green or yellow worms, from an inch to an 

 inch and a half long, vrith some dark spots, which are found 

 more or less every season upon cabbages and some other plants. 

 Individually they are fast feeders, but their number is limited, 

 and of course so is the injury they do. Birds also destroy 

 them. They should be hand - picked and crushed. These 

 worms are the progeny of the common large and small white 

 and spotted butterflies.
