CABBAGE MOTH-CARROT FLY. 
11 
Cabbage Moth. Mamestra Brassica , Linn. 
Mamestra Brassicje, Linn. 
1, Moth ; 2, caterpillar ; 3, chrysalis. 
Mr. Hart, writing from Park Farm, Kingsnortli, mentions the 
caterpillars of this moth as having caused some harm to hearted 
'Cabbage, but that they were not abundant. 
In my own garden there was a little injury also to hearted 
Cabbage, but this was less to Cabbage in rows amongst other plants 
(as between Celery trenches) than where the Cabbage was in a bed. 
Clearing off such of the lower leaves of the Cabbage as lay on the 
ground appeared a very serviceable plan. Many of these-leaves are 
partly decayed and have ceased to be of much value to the plant, and 
they not only afford a convenient shelter by day to caterpillars, slugs, 
or other night-feeding plant vermin, but help to give the easiest 
possible access up to the food.
