ANEMONE  ROOT  INFESTED  WITH  LARVA  (P.  K.).— 
The  root  is  certainly  infested  by  caterpillars,  which  have  eaten 
into  the  fleshy  part  of  the  roots  in  a  dried  state.  They  are  the 
larvae  of  some  moth,  and  evidently  one  of  the  Tortrices,  the  larva 
pointing  to  a  Carpocapsa,  and  that  infesting  dried  fruits.  The 
silver  fly  was  not  found,  but  it  probably  was  the  moth,  and  cause 
of  the  mischief.  It  is  not  likely  the  moth  will  attack  plants  in 
the  ground.  We  have  not  before  had  such  phenomenon  brought 
to  our  notice,  and  shall  keep  the  caterpillar  in  order  to  secure 
the  moth  in  due  course  and  identify  it,  if  possible. 
VINES  FOR  WALL  OF  RESIDENCE  WITH  SOUTH 
ASPECT  (J.  P.). — The  best  white  Grape  is  Chasselas  Vibert, 
which  produces  larger  berries  and  ripens  about  a  week  earlier 
than  Royal  Muscadine.  Black  July  is  the  most  reliable  black 
outdoor  Grape,  but  in  a  hot  position,  such  as  you  describe,  Black 
Prince  (Cambridge  Botanic  Garden)  does  well,  being  one  of  the 
best  black  Grapes  for  the  open  air,  though  in  quality  it  is  far 
inferior  to  Black  Hamburgh.  The  last-named  ripens  its  fruit 
very  well  in  some  warm  seasons,  and  is  suitable  for  planting  in 
a  position  such  as  you  describe.  Our  experience  points  to 
Chasselas  Vibert  and  Black  Hamburgh  as  most  suitable  for  your 
circumstances.

On  Some  Minor  Immoralities. 
“He  that  would  thrive  must  the  white  sparrow  see,’’ 
says  an  old  German  proverb.  We  remember  reading  a  tale 
as  to  how  the  farmer  sought  high  and  low  for  this  wonderful 
bird,  which  was  only  to  be  seen  at  early  dawn  or  nightfall. 
Ife  did  hot  find  the  sparrow,  but  he  found  many  other  things 
of  which  he  had  previously  had  no  notion,  and  he  broke 
himself  effectually  of  the  habit  of  lie-a-bed.  No  day  is  long 
enough  for  the  work  allotted  it — at  least  we  find  it  so, 
and  it  does  seem  a  pity  to  lose  any  of  the  early  morning 
hours  in  merely  idle  sleep — that  is,  sleep  that  we  do  not 
absolutely  need,  and  we  can  make  very  little  do  when 
pleasure  is  a-foot.  Does  any  man  ever  calculate  how  many 
days  of  his  master’s  time  he  wastes  in  the  year  by  being  late 
even  a  few  minutes  each  morning  1  or  does  he  consider  how 
unfair  a  thing  it  is  to  leave  off  a  job  nearly  done  because  it  is 
just  on  supper  time  ?  Does  he,  again,  ever  remember  the  wet
