the Moth (Phalmna Grossiilaria) about the size of 
the lesser common white Butterfly. The abdomen 
or body is an orange colour, spotted with chocolate, 
and the wings are principally white, maculated 
with chocolate spots. The parent deposits her 
eggs some time in August, which, in a few days, 
bring forth the Caterpillar. 
For their Destruction. — If the trees 
should be much infested, it will be proper to water 
the bushes well in September with the Mixture 
(No. 3), or in the spring. Shake the trees as 
directed for the larvae of the Tenthredo. 
Aphides. — There are two species of the 
Aphides which infest this bush ; one of them is 
rather small in size, of a dark green colour, the 
other one is something larger, and longer in 
shape, and of a light green. Both kinds com- 
mence their depredations about one time. It ap- 
pears also that both kinds are in the larva state 
through the winter, in the earth, under stones, 
leaves, and various other places of retirement. 
About April, those which survive set out in search 
of food, and appear chiefly to make choice of the 
twig end of the young wood of this bush, where 
they soon establish a multitudinous prog’eny, having 
been pregnant previous to their retirement in au- 
tumn. The acts of these depredators will be exhi- 
bited by the curling of the leaves and young wood. 
They very commonly prove to be very formidable 
to this bush, as they not only retard its growth 
very materially, but the fluid they eject so much.
