I much question if the most practised eye could detect sulphur on the grapes exhibited, although they have been twice covered with it; and as to the mildew itself among vines, I fear it no more than I do green-fly among cucumbers, which is so soon deprived of existence by the fumes of tobacco.
A piece of lace tied under her chin concealed her hair, and her oval face with its still dark brows looked very young. "The green-fly are awful this year, and yet it's cold. You look tired, Jolyon." Jolyon took the confession from his pocket. "I've been writing this. I think you ought to see it?" "To Jon?" Her whole face had changed, in that instant, becoming almost haggard.
'And the GREEN-FLY, and the MOORISH-FLY! cried Benson, snatching them up with transport; 'and, chief, the SAD-YELLOW-FLY, in which the fish delight in June; the SAD-YELLOW-FLY, made with the buzzard's wings, bound with black braked hemp, and the SHELL-FLY for the middle of July, made of greenish wool, wrapped about with the herle of a peacock's tail, famous for creating excellent sport. All these and more were spread upon the table before the sportsmen's wondering eyes.
Upon another hour she would be discovered, feet tucked up and wary, darting, like an iridescent gleam, around the angry ants, among the green-fly on the rose-bushes.

Then her object had been honey; now it was scalps! From force of habit, more perhaps than from force of reasoning, she flew to the rose-trees, and there fixed in her shear jaws not more than two of the helpless, fool, unarmed, soft, juicy green-fly, which are really no more, if one may so put it, than living, infinitesimal "white" grapes.
Science some day may teach us a way to do without them. It is only the women matter. It is not every sort of creature needs these males. Some have no males." "There's green-fly," admitted Ann Veronica. "And even then " The conversation hung for a thoughtful moment. Ann Veronica readjusted her chin on her hand. "I wonder which of us is right," she said. "I haven't a scrap of this sort of aversion."
"These green-fly get in everywhere," she said. "Very sad story; can't they do anything for him?" and she made researches in the rose's heart. "He's quarrelled with them, I believe," said Shelton; "I have n't liked to press him, about that." "No, of course not," assented Mrs. Dennant absently she had found another green-fly "I always think it's painful when a young man seems so friendless."
The same may be said of green-fly, which sometimes attacks the Epiphyllums. A blight, something similar to mealy bug, now and again appears on the roots of some of the varieties of Echinocactus and Cereus.
She had got her scalps, and winging home in a hurry to her baby, fed it upon green-fly.
