LEAF MINER

Leaf miner is a great scourge in some gardens, disfiguring plants including celery and chrysanthemums. The maggot burrows its way about the leaf making unsightly channels and depriving the plant of its vitality when the infestation is acute. Pinching out and spraying arc the remedies. Badly attacked chrysanthe- mums arc better destroyed.
