GREAT GARDEN WHITE 
BUTTERFLY. 
1. V - APS, though nothing can well be 
mo, . frequently seen than the White Butter- 
Sy, in i.ur fields as well as gardens, the little 
which we find it necessary to say respecting 
this very common iDse61:, may contain some 
information to many readers. 
The Great Garden White Butterfly, is the 
Brassier, or Great White Cabbage Buncrfly, 
of Linnseus ; and is evidently so' named, from 
the Caterpillar, which is yellow, black, and 
blue, and feeds on the leaves of the Cabbage. 
Toe Fly is said to appear in May, and in July : 
so that it m^ay be considered as breeding twice 
in the year. 
The Brassicae, or our Great Garden White 
Butterfly, is represented on both sides, of it's 
natural size, in the print annexed. 
The upper side is almost wholly of a clear 
white : except that, on each of the superior 
wings, there are two black spots near the mid- 
die, with a' small streak of black ben-eath, and 
th€ tips or extremities of the wings are also 
marked
