pest, to find practical artificial control 

 measures, and to introduce parasites 

 from Japan. Some of the dimcultios 

 are: it is a strong flier, it feeds on a 

 large number of host plants, it is difli- 

 cult to poison. It is rei)elled by most 

 arsenicals. and it spends about five- 

 sixths of its life underground where it 

 is difficult to locate and hard to reach 

 with insecticides. Some of the con- 

 trols already tried are spraying with 

 arsenate of lead, and with lime-sul- 

 Iihur; dusting with powdered lime- 

 sulphur or arsenate of lead and lime; 

 cleaning up roadsides and using salt 

 and fire to keep down vegetation: soil 

 insecticides, such as sodium cyanide 

 in solution: clean cultivation, haml 

 picliing and a strict quarantine with- 

 in the known infested area. 



There is no question but what this 

 insect is a serious pest. When first 

 noticed only a tew beetles could be 

 collected in a day while now 15 to 

 20.000 can be captured in a day by 

 one person. The skeletonizing and 

 defoliation of trees year after year 

 will soon weaken arid kill them. It is 

 evident then, that if the Japanese 

 beetle is not soon controlled it will b" 

 classed with the gypsy and brown tail 

 as shade tree pests.

PITTSBURGHERS HAVE AN 

 OUTING 



The annual held day of the Pitts- 

 burgh Florists' and Gardeners' Chili 

 held on Wednesday, August 11, will 

 linger long in the memories of the 

 members and friends who attended. 

 It was a success in any way you take 

 it. Promptly at 10.20 the long line of 

 autos loft Sewickley Station for the 

 day's pleasure and it certainly is a 

 treat to visit the beautiful estates of 

 Sewickley Heights. The first stop was 

 made at Mrs. J. B. Oliver's (F. B. Reig, 

 gardener). Everything showed good 

 care, and the walled garden was very 

 good. G. A. Woods (A. Etherington. 

 gardener) was the next stop. Effec- 

 tive plantings of shrubs and ever- 

 greens was noted on this place. R H. 

 Boggs (Geo. Shaw, jiardener) and Col. 

 Schoonmaker (.lohn Carman, gardener) 

 was the next stop: both places give 

 credit to the men in charge. Next in 

 order named was J. F. Rogers {A. E. 

 Bonsey, gardener). The Country Club 

 (John Pressler. gardener) and Van 

 Vorhis (H. A. Baumgarten, gardener) 

 --all these places reflected the skill 

 of their caretakers. 



The noon lunch stop was made on 

 the estate of J. W. Lyon where our 

 genial president. John Barnet, holds 

 sway. Everything was in tip-top
