is il left to itself The plants which this
insect attacks are the softest and most sue
culent and at the ends of the young shoots
and the softest leaves. 1t sucks the juice

short time. OF all the means that have
been employed for the destruction of this
insect that which has proved most eff
Gent and the one now most universally
pyacticed, is fumigation with tobacco.
Some plants, such as heliotropes, salvias,
lsntanas, and some others with soft, downy
foliage, will not bear ordinary fumiga-
ions without injury to leaves, and these
plants, therefore, should not be subjected
10 il. Many plants in full flower. but es-
pecially pelargoniums, will throw oil
their expanded blooms after smoking, and
therefore it is best to remove these before
fumigatinp. Care should be used also 10
have the foliage of all the plants dry, for
if they are wet or damp the smoke will
be apt to iniure such as are OF soft text
