move a plant which is half way up a house out 
of the tub without injuring the plant. 
Virginia Creeper, like a Vine, may become 
root-bound, but that will not kill it. It merely 
stunts the plant, causing it to produce a small 
amount of wood and small leaves, but that would 
not cause it to die if it can get sufficient moisture 
to keep the roots alive. (2) There will be no 
difficulty in moving the plant you mention, as 
the Virginia Creeper may be removed with per¬ 
fect safety even when of large size. If the roots 
were mutilated in lifting, some of the longest 
stems would probably die back, but in removing 
it from a tub you can get most of the roots, and 
there need be no permanent injury to the plant 
provided you thoroughly water it immediately 
after planting. Some of the old soil may be 
removed from the roots, a large hole taken out 
where you intend to plant, and some fresh soil 
put in to give the Virginia Creeper a good start 
in its new position. 
Ivy Infestel with Caterpillars. 
I have a wall 200 yards long covered with Ivy, 
which has got infested with caterpillars, which 
have made great havoc for 30 yards. What 
would you advise me to do? (Ivy.) 
The caterpillars are those of one of the Loopers, 
a species of moth which has a weakness for Ivy, 
though we never heard of it doing so much 
damage in any one place. Your best plan would 
be to use some insecticide to poison the foliage, so 
that when the caterpillars eat it they will be 
destroyed. We should spray the Ivy with ^lb. 
of Paris green or London purple to 100 gal. of 
water. The insecticide should be obtained in the 
form of a paste and thoroughly mixed with the 
water; keep it stirred all the time you are 
syringing. We do not think there is any neces¬ 
sity for washing it off, as the rain which you will 
get soon after will do this. 
Fuchsia Riccartoni for a Hedge. 
As a regular reader of your paper, I noticed, in 
looking over your, old papers., one dated July 
15th, 1905, in an article on Fuchsia, that you 
think F. Riccartoni will stand for a hedge. Do 
you think it would stand the winter as far north 
as here? (F. W. Damly.) 
The neighbourhood of the sea is undoubtedly 
the place where these Fuchsias flourish most 
luxuriantly. This one does, however, make 
splendid growth even in the Highlands of Scot¬ 
land, where it must be subjected to a very low 
temperature. The hedges, however, are not 
always very high, so that when the plant does 
happen to get cut down by severe frost it is of 
little importance, because the shoots spring up 
freely again from the base of the plant. We 
think, however, that you would be able to have 
a hedge of it of considerable height in your dis¬ 
trict. The ground should be prepared and 
thoroughly drained, so that the wood will ripen 
well before winter. If von can secure this we 
think there will be little difficulty in maintaining 
THE GARDENING WORLD 
a hedge of this Fuchsia in fine condition, and cer¬ 
tainly you can have a low hedge by the fresh 
growth' made every year if cut down during a 
severe winter.
