Grubs Destroying Mermet Roses. (The Florist's Exchange, for 

 February 10, 1894, vi, p. 176, c 1 — 7 cm.) 



Grubs working at the roots of Mermet roses belong to the " white grubs " 

 and probably to the genus of Lachnosterna, the larvas of which can not be 

 specifically determined. When attacking single plants the roots may be 

 partly uncovered and the grubs taken and destroyed. When this is not 

 practicable, kerosene emulsion may be poured over the roots and followed 

 by an application of water to carry it into the ground and reach the grubs.
