The Vegetable Garden During the average growing sea- son, probably not more than six to eight seriously injurious species of insects are to be found in most veg- etable gardens and, though these dis- tribute their attention over a ""'com- paratively wide range of vegetables and over a fairly lengthy period of time, the picture is really not so black as most gardeners may be in- clined to paint it, says Alan 'G. Dus- tan, Division of Entomology, Domin- ion Department of Agriculture. To realize that only a relatively small number of insect species will attack the crops, to know how to re- cognize them and understand what to do about them will assist in pro- THE SEAPORTH NEWS ' testing gardenia when invasion by these insects begins The following insect 5 are those which in all probability, will be the only ones which will cause any mat- erials loss during the average gard- ening season in Eastern Canada, Cutworms are probably the most generally destructive insects found 'in the vegetable garden. They are of greatest concern when the plants are small. They are gray to brownish caterpillars which hide in the soil during the day and einerge at night to feed on a wide variety of plants. They usually sever the stems at the soil surface, although some species attack the leaves, Cutworms can be killed by sprinkling poisoned -bran bait about the garden, in the late evening, The cabbage maggot will probably be the next insect to appear. This maggot attacks the roots of such plants as cabbages, cauliflowers and radishes. It is a small, white, legless bisect that makes its appearance about the middle of May. When the attack is severe, many of the plants wilt and die. Transplants and seedl- ings can be protected by pouring corrosive sublimate solution around the stems about the time the plum trees come into blossom, A nea rrelative to this insect, the onion maggot, is a frequent visitor to gardens where onions are grown. The onion maggot closely resembles the cabbage maggot in appearance and works in much the same way. However, it only attacks onions, feeding at the base of the stems and causing the young plants to wilt. Covering the onion seed with dry powdered calomel before planting will considerably reduce the amount of injury. A small, yellow and black striped beetle, known as the striped cucum- ber beetle, will be an unwelcome visitor in most gardens about the time cucumber plants are getting started, It feeds on young cucumber, squash and melon plants, eating holes in the leaves. It hides in the foliage and frequently escapes de- tection. Infested plants should be dusted with calcium arsenate and gypsum, mixed one part of the poi- son to 19 parts of the powder, In Eastern Canada, seedling car- rots are frequently attacked by a small, whitish maggot which is the young of the carrot rust fly. This maggot is first noted in early June, making rusty -red tunnels in the roots. Injured seedlings wilt and die and sometimes the damage is quite severe. By delaying the planting of the carrot seed until early June, most of the carrot rust flies will have disappeared before the young seed- lings come up through the soil. By mid-June potato plants will be well above ground and the Colorado potato beetle will be at hand to at- tack the new crop. It is an annual visitor frequently to be seen on the ground even before the potatoes have broken through the soil. Spray- ing or dusting the vines with an ars- enical, such as calcium arsenate or lead arsenate, fortunately will kill most of the beetles as well as the young grubs on the leaves. Green worms or caterpillars will probably be noticed on cabbages, cauliflowers and allied plants during Plant Chrysanthemums For Autumn Color Here are a few of the 87 choice varieties of "Mums" listed in McConnell's 1943 Catalogue Double Inclicum "Mums" 3 for 60c.; doz„ $2.00 Abundance, Salruon red, Early, Aladdin.
