I'rriodind cicada. — Ibood No. S, as recorded in llnlletin N(». S of the 

 Division of Entomology of this Department, ajtpeared in New Jersey 

 in ISSO, but in such sniidl numbers that they did little or no injury. 



Imported elm leaf i)C(tlv. — Climax Insect Poison. ;i prejtaralion of Lon- 

 don ]Miri)le, was suc<'essfully sprayed on trees infested with this insect. 

 A mixture of London purple and kei'osene emulsion, with and without 

 rye Hour, destroyed the eggs. 



The larva' as a rule were obs«Mved to c<tme to the base of the trees for 

 ])Ui>ation. Those that i)npated nnderthe bark of the trees were "very 

 generally attacked l)y a fnngns that carried them otf by the thousands." 

 The i)npa' can be readily destroyed l»y hot water sprinkled id the base 

 of the tree. The anth(U' c(»ncludes from his obser\ations that "a sin- 

 gle annnal br<»(Ml is the rnle in New -lersey, though there may be two 

 in the sonthcrn jiart of the St;it«'." 



Asparayus heetlr. — Kerosem* a]»plie(l in a \'ery line spra\ killed a 

 large proportion of the larva-, buf did not injure either tl»e eggs (u- per- 

 fect beetles. London ]uirple. ap]>lie<l at the late of 1 f)unce to 5 g;dlons 

 of water, was entirely ineftectnal. X. <). Dnst. applied with a powder 

 bellows, killed fnlly !>0 per cent of all the larva'. "The beetles were 

 driven olf but soon returned, while the eggs were not injured in any 

 way." 



White caldxiye hxtferfly. — X. O. Dust, ai)i)lied with a ]Miwder bellows, 

 killed all the larva' that were touched by it.
