NEW EARLY YELLOW CHRYSANTHEMUM MISS M M JOHNSON 



It grows well enough and produces a 

 profusion of buds, but they rarely open 

 and the bud has no beauty. Not one in 

 a hundred will develop into a good open 

 flower. So this sort seems destined to 

 unpopularity with us. A new seedling 

 from Cecile Brunner is just now being 

 watched with a good deal of interest, but 

 it is too soon to pronounce upon its 

 merits. It will take anoth r season to 

 fully test what now ajjpears full of 

 promise. ■ H. (1. P.

Insect Pests. 



THE INDIAN CETONIfl. 



We have a number of young pear trees 

 on our place one of which is apparently 

 dying. The bugs, which I send you sam- 

 ples of seem only to attack this one tree 

 and do not trouble any other. I have 

 tried various remedies, such as spraying 

 with slugshot, etc., with no effect. I have 

 also picked them off each day and 

 destroyed them, but shortly after the tree 

 is as full as ever. They seem to pierce the 

 bark and feed on the sap. E. B. 



White Plains, N. Y. 



The insect occuring on a pear tree, as 

 above stated is a beetle belonging to the 

 Scarabaeidfe, bearing the name of Euro- 

 myria Inda. For want of a better com- 

 mon name, it is known in entoinologieal 

 writings, as "the Indian Cetonia"-India 

 having been given as its habitat by Lin- 

 n^us when he described it more than a 

 century ago, and "Cetonia," referring 

 to the genus Cetonia. under which it was 

 for a long time classified. It has long been 

 recognized as injurious to ripe fruits from 

 its habit of eating into them, sometimes 

 to the core. The spring brood has shown 

 a fondness for the sa\> of the sugar maple. 

 The statement given abovethat it pierces 

 or gnaws the bark of ])ear trees appar- 

 ently for feeding on the sap,. seems to con- 

 firm' an account given some j-ears ago, 

 but ([uestioned at the time, that it 

 gnawed the bark of apple tr. es for the 

 sake of the sap — the trees looking as if 

 they had been attacked bj' mice or rab- 

 bits. Why the beetles should infest onlv 

 the one tree in the orchard, may perhaps 

 find its explanation in that the sap of the 

 "dying" tree from its diseased condition, 

 may be more attractive to itor isexuding 

 from portions of its trunk, .\nother bad
