Science terrorizes ignorant minds. One who never studied botany is horri- 

 fied at the Latin name of a plant. "Trifolium" causes a panic; yet any dic- 

 tionary will tell you that it simply means clover. In future foodplant charts 

 great pains will be taken to give common names of plants wherever possible, but 

 there will always be a large proportion of Latin names for common names are 

 very unreliable. A very useful book is "Plant Names, Scientific and Popular," 

 by A. B. Lyons; Nelson, Baker & Co., Publishers, Detroit, Mich. It costs 

 $2.50 but is invaluable. You ought to have some work on botany. Second- 

 hand book stores are good places to secure botanical and entomological works. 

 You do not have to study botany to be able to learn nearly everything you 

 require, especially if you know how to consult an index. Many correspondents 

 get all their botany from a dictionary. The Century or any complete dictionary 

 gives all needed imormation.
