as attacking chrysanthemum, morning-glor\- and smilax in green- 

 houses, while Prof. F. M. Webster records it as feeding on many 

 weeds, such as rag\veed, crab grass, smartweed, etc. It is probably 

 known best as a garden pest, being injurious to beans, beets, 

 peas, cabbage, potatoes, etc. Considering the fact that the infes- 

 tation on phlox was most severe after the blooming period was 

 over and at a time when the plants were no longer cared for as 

 ornamentals, it was not necessary to spray. Had it occurred ear- 

 lier in the season any of the ordinar>- "leaf-hopper" remedies 

 would have undoubtedly checked it successfully.
