heaping teaspoonful to a large pail
of water. This treatment should
berrepeated two or three times, the
last application being made when
the cabbages have already begun TO
form small heads Spraying with
poisons is not recommended after
the heads are an inch or two in
diameter. = .z>E =, &aEsszi
AS soon as worms are found to
be getting into the heads, treat
ment with pyrethrum should be be-
gun. A pinch Of dry powder drop
ped into the head and as much as
possible on the caterpillars is the
method. Still better would be the
use Of tin pepper-box with which
to sprinkle the powder upon the
cabbages. The holes in the top of
the box may needz slight enlarge
ment. The powder kills the cater
pillars by contact. It soon loses its
strength after exposure to the air,
and is not in the least dangerous to
man. Persistent treatment in ac-
cordance with the above directions
will give good results.
The Cabbage Aphis or Cabbage
Louise also causes much loss to hor- .
ticulturists as it is always present
in large numbers toward the end of
the season. 1t can not be destroyed
by Paris green, as it consumes only
the sap. ..- -. - -
The early part of the season is
spent on other plants; but before
midsummer colonies of lice may be
observed forming ON the cabbage.
This is the best time to spray, as
the plants are much smaller than at
later date, and the increase of the
lice can be largely prevented.
Strong soapsuds is one of the best
and simplest remedies. The exact
proportion of soap varies with the
brand, and perhaps with the hard
ness of the water, but can readily
be ascertained by trial, as the re-
suits are immediate if the solution
is strong enough. If applied warm
it seems little more penetrating.
The main difficulty which has
discouraged many gardeners is that
it is almost impossible to hit all the
lice, and enough will survive to
make other spraying necessary.
This is unfortunately true as gen.
eral rule, but much depends on the
thoroughness of the application.
When the leaves have become large,
they must be lifted up so as to
strike the under side, where the
lice are. This is one Of the reasons
why earlier spraying should be
practiced. ...
Without some kind of spraying
machine it is almost useless to try
to make any application for, this
insect, as sprinkling or similar
methods does not reach the affected
parts. ]. M. ALDRICH,
Entomologist.
