Green Apple-Aphis. — -When growth 

 starts in the spring the minute, shiny 

 blacli eggs of the green apple-apliis 

 hatch. All the eggs are hatched gener- 

 ally before the buds have opened. The 

 young green plant lice congregate on 

 the green bud tips and first leaves. 

 These plant lice produce living young 

 and the increase in number is very 

 rapid as the leaves and blossoms ap- 

 pear, upon which hundreds of aphis 

 may be seen feeding. The early gen- 

 erations of the green apple-aphis are 

 wingless. Winged individuals begin to 

 appear at the beginning of summer and 

 the infestation spreads from branch to 

 branch, tree to tree and orchard to 

 orchard. At the approach of cold 

 weather eggs are laid on young twigs 

 and at the base of the buds, and there 

 they remain throughout the winter un- 

 til the warmth of spring causes the 

 eggs to hatch and the young plant lice 

 to start the seasonal histories all over 

 again. 



The Rosy, Brown or Purple Apple- 

 Aphis. — The young of this species hatch 

 generally later than those of the green 

 apple-aphis and attack the early leaves. 

 As their popular names imply, they are 

 of several shades of red. These aphids 

 are particularly noticeable on the 

 leaves around the fruit clusters. Curled 

 leaves and distorted fruit show the 

 presence and work of this species. 

 After midsummer the rosy aphis dis- 

 appears from the trees and reappears 

 in the fall. The eggs are laid on the 

 trunk and older growth and are not 

 generally as plentiful as the eggs of the 

 green apple-aphis. The rosy apple- 

 aphis passes the winter in the egg 

 stage and hatches in the spring as the 

 buds arc opening. The Oregon Experi- 

 ment Station carried on some experi- 

 ments in the control of this aphis and 

 found that "Black Leaf 40" was ef- 

 fective used alone or combined with 

 linie-sulphur. Lime-sulphur, used alone 

 at a winter dilution of 1 to 10, failed 

 to have any effect on the aphis. Do 

 not wait until the leaves are curled 

 before spraying for this aphis.

 when grown is covered with a white.
