Senza dubbio molto dipende da salvare il seme delle piante migliori, come è il caso con tutto il resto, invece di raccolta di esso promiscuamente, come troppo spesso viene fatto ; e mentre i prezzi dei semi sono così bassa come sono ora, vi è Uttle incentivo per il seme-coltivatore per fare altrimenti. Insetti e Malattie.-SnaUs e lumache sono spesso problematica in blanda molle, attaccando le gemme come essi spingono attraverso il suolo: essi spesso attaccano gli steli della pianta

No doubt much depends on saving seed from the best plants, as is the case with everything else, instead of gathering it promiscuously, as is too frequently done ; and while the prices of seeds are so low as they now are, there is Uttle inducement for the seed-grower to do otherwise. Insects and diseases.—SnaUs and slugs are often troublesome in mild springs, attacking the buds as they push through the soil: they often attack the stems of the plants when well grown, near to the ground; but they can be readily got rid of by dusting lime over the ground in the evenings. From its caustic property, on touching their bodies it speedily kills them. The wireworm is a much more to be dreaded enemy; it per- forates the centre of the buds under ground, and totally destroys them. Piercing the ground amongst the roots with an obtuse-pointed dib- ber, and pouring about a table-spoonful of spirits of tar into each hole, will kill numbers of them; setting traps of slices of carrots, potatoes, or turnips, attached to a skewer, and burying them close to the tops of the crown, will attract them by thousands, and on drawing them up every other day they will be found attached to them, and may easily be destroyed. This may be con- sidered a tedious process ; it is nevertheless a most effectual one. The asparagus beetle, Onoceris aspa/ragi, fig.

In the year 1836 it abounded in the gardeiis round Loudon, the larvae, beetles, and eggs being often detected on the same plant and at the same time. The larvae feed on the leaves and stems, and are much more destructive to young pl
