Our street trees and the elm leaf beetle, W. E. Britton (Gard. and Forest, 10 

 (1897), No. 495, p'p. 326-327). — Complaint is made that people take no notice of trees 

 until they are being destroyed. At New Haven in 1896 the elm trees were sprayed 

 by the authorities in some cases as many as 3 times. The park trees and those in the

 To avoid expense the plan is suggested of spraying only one-half of the trees each 

 season.
