GALL is a tumour formed in conse-
quence of the part being punctured by
an insect, the tumour becoming the
nidus of the insect brood. The Oak-
apple caused by the Cynips qnerci is a
familiar example ; as also are the
bunches of leaves, not unlike a rose, on
the Rose Willow, and the mossy tufts
on the twigs of the wild rose, and erro-
neously called Bedeyuar. These tufts
are caused by the Cynips rosai, another
species of gall-fly.

GAMMA MOTH. Just after sunset, in
October, and hovering round flowers',
maybe seen this moth (Noctaa gamma.}
It is called the Gamma Moth, because
about the middle of the upper wings,
but towards their inner border, there is
a silvery shining mark, like the Greek
letter gamma (7). The shape of this
mark has acquired to this insect another
name, the Y-Moth. The outspread
wings are about an inch across : the
upper ones gray- coloured, marbled with
brown, and shining ; the under wings
pale ash, with a brown edge ; the head
and throat brownish, edged with gray
lines ; the belly, or abdomen, yellowish
gray, tufted with brown hairs. In
October they deposit their eggs, and it
would be an aid to the warfare against
them to ascertain what plants they
select for this purpose. The eggs hatch
at various times from May to Septem-
ber, but chiefly during July. The
caterpillars proceeding from them are
green, beset with greenish single hairs ;
head brownish green; on the back and
sides three or fouryellowish white lines ;
feet twelve in number, and marked with
a yellow stripe. These caterpillars
commit great ravages, especially in the
south of England, upon our peas and
other garden vegetables; the best re-
medy for which is hand picking.

GARDEN BALSAM. Justi'cia peclora'lis.
GARDEN BEETLE. In June and July,
a small, pretty beetle very often may be
found among the petals of white roses.
It is nearly half an inch long, and
rather less than a quarter of an inch
broad. Its wing-cases are reddish
brown, shining, and shorter than the
body; the body and head are dark
green, and the antennae reddish, having
at their ends a dark green club. This is
the garden beetle (Phyllope'rtha horti'-
cola and Melolo'ntha hortl'cola of some):
it feeds on the leaves of apples, pears,
and roses, gnawing them full of small
holes, and even transferring its attacks
to the young fruit of the apple. During
the latter part of July the female retires
into the earth for the purpose of there
depositing her eggs, from which the
grubs speedily are produced, and feed
upon the roots of plants. The only
mode of reducing the number of these
beetles is by searching for them during
the evening, when, if detected, they
stiffen their outstretched legs, and feign
death; but in the day they fly about
swiftly, and are captured with great
difficulty.
GAEDEN PEBBLE MOTH (Sco'pula
forficula'ris}. The perfect insect, says
Mr. Curtis, measures rather more than
an inch across, when its wings are
expanded. The upper pair are hazel-
coloured, with four stripes, two of which
are distinct, and the other faint; the
under wings as well as the body are
whitish, and on the former, near the
centre, there is a curved brown streak,
and another black on the margin. The
first brood of caterpillars occurs in May,
and the second in the autumn ; and
when very numerous they do consider-
able injury to cabbages and plantations
of horse-radish. The caterpillar is eight
or ten lines long, with the head of a
light brown colour, and the body is
yellowish green, with black longitudinal
stripes. Like other caterpillars, it may
be destroyed by being dusted with white
hellebore powder.
GARDENEE. The day is gone when
the spade and the blue apron were the
only appropriate devices for the gar-
dener; he must now not only have a
thorough practical knowledge of liis
art, but he must also have an intimate
acquaintance with its sciences. No
man can have stored in his mind too
much knowledge, but there are always
some branches of information of more
value than others ; of these, to the gar-
dener, there are none so important as
botany and chemistry botany, phy-
siological as well as classical chemis-
try, especially as applied to the exami-
nation of organic nature. The relative
duties between the gardener and his
master are embodied in that universal
rule do as you would be done by.
The head gardener is the superior of
the valet or butler, for his education
and knowledge are of a higher order.
The under gardeners, though necessa-
rily hardy, and the open air is their
appropriate whereabouts, should have
work assigned to them appropriate to
the clemency or inclemency of the
season ; for no men are more liable to
suffer early in life from rheumatism.
There are two golden sentences which
we would have always kept in mind by
a gardener :
1. Let all things be done orderly.
2. Be always ready to give an account
of your stewardship.

GARDE'NIA. (Named after Dr. Gar-

nads [Cinchonaceae]. Linn., 5-Pentan-

Sweet-scented evergreen shrubs. Cuttings
of shoots half ripe, in sand, under glass, and in
a moist bottom-heat ; this moist heat, when
growing and when starting into bloom, is the
! very life of all the stove species. Even the
greenhouse kinds do best when pruned after
flowering, grown rapidly afterwards, if in a
moist atmosphere from decomposing material,
such as dung and leaves, all the better ; hard-
ened off and ripened by exposure to light and
air in autumn, rested in a cool and dryish atmo-
sphere in winter, and started into bloom in a
moist heat again, and then removed to the
greenhouse; peat and loam. Summer temp.,
60 to 85 ; winter, 45 to 55.

GARDENING is the art of cultivating
and arranging plants, so as to obtain
from them the greatest amount of pro-
duce, and of beauty.
GARDEN ROCAMBOLE. A' Ilium ophi-
osco'rodon.
GARDEN SWIFT (Hcpia'lus hipuli'-
nits). The caterpillar of this moth
is more indiscriminate in its attacks
upon our plants than is any other
ravager of the garden. The roots of
auriculas, snowdrops, bear's-ear, par-
snips, lettuces, celery, potatoes, and
strawberries, have all been observed
destroyed by this larva. The moth,
usually, is chalky brown, head and
thorax woolly, and its upper wings dark
bright brown, with a broad Hue of white ;
I but sometimes this is absent, and at.
i other times the upper wings are chalky
white. These moths appear about tho
end of May, and are very abundant, in
the evening in meadows and other
grassy places. They deposit their
eggs apparently without discrimination,
which soon hatch, and the caterpillars
produced are cylindrical, and yellowish-
white, Avith black dots and hairs on the
upper part and sides of their segments.
The caterpillar changes to an ochreous
shining cylindrical pupa. Gard. Chron.

Of all the Lipworts, there is not a greenhouse
rival to G. Hookeri when well grown. Green-
house evergreens, except 6. betonicoides, which
is herbaceous. Cuttings of half-ripened shoots,
in June, in sand, under a hand-glass ; peat and

broken bricks and charcoal. Winter temp.,
40 to 48 ; a shady place in summer. They
should be tried against a wall, with a slight

Plant any time in February, March,
and early in April ; but the middle of
March is the usual time. A single
| clove to be placed in each hole, made
j six inches apart, and one deep, in
j straight lines, six inches distant from
each other, care being taken to set the
, roots downwards ; to do this it is the
! best practice to thrust the finger and
thumb, holding a clove between them,
to the requisite deptli without any pre-
vious hole being made. Keep them fre-
quently hoed, and in June the leaves are
to be tied in knots to prevent the plants

running to seed. A few roots may be ff.
taken np as required in June and July, !
but the whole must not be lifted until ' _
the leaves wither at the close of July,
or in the course of August. It is usual
to leave a part of the stalk attached, by i "
which they are tied into bundles, being >
previously well dried for keeping during
the winter.
