THE GARDENERS AUD NATUKAEISTS CALENDAR FOR JUNE. 
I 
J, 
the end of the month, and as their larvce are amongst 
the most rapacious of all the gardener's enemies, feeding, 
as Black Grubs, upon the roots of his choicest plants, 
and at the same time amongst the most diilicult to 
destroy wlulst larvas, I would advise their destruction 
as soon as ever they appear in the -n-ingcd state. In 
large estabhshments it would well repay the outlay to 
employ childi'en with gauze bag nets to collect and 
desti-oy them.

densed, and will include, as heretofore, only the more 
remarkable and most injurious kinds, or those which
