CaccBcia rosaceana. This is a well-known enemy of all sorts of fruit 

 crops of the famil}" Rosace^e, as well as of several other orders, and is 

 treated in most popular works on agricultural entomology. 



Specimens of pupse and adults of this species were received from 

 Mr. S. S. Wilson, Libonia, Pa., with the statement made in an accom- 

 panying letter dated ^lay 3, 1898, that it was received b}^ him in a 

 shipment of roses from a lirm in Ohio, and that, on examining the 

 roses, laryge and chrysalides were found, and many of the leaves of 

 the plants were eaten away. 



THE ROSE LEAF-FOLDER. 



{Caccecia romua l^iiiu.) 



This is an introduced species whicli attacks roses, but is not, so far 

 as the writer is aware, particularly troublesome, at least in green- 

 houses. It is very likel}- to become injurious, however, at any time. 

 It is figured and described as an enemy of currants by Messrs. Corn- 

 stock and Slingerland (Bui. XXIII, Cornell Univ. Expt. Sta., pp. 

 119-121), and has been stated by Dr. Liigger to attack also the apple, 

 wild rose, raspl)erry, hazel, hawthorn, and gooseberry (Fourth Annl. 

 Kept. Entom. State Expt. Sta. Univ. Minn., 1899, p. 228). 



OTHER LEAF-ROLLERS. 



A short notice of injuries by the fruit-tree leaf-roller, Cacmcia 

 (uyijrosplla Walk., to the buds of roses in greenhouses was put)llshed 

 in insect Life (Vol. Ill, p. 19). 



To this list must still bo added, as species that are known to attack 

 roses, and are hence likely at an}^ time to invade the greenhouse and 

 assume the bud-destroying habit, several other Tortricids, among which 

 may ))e mentioned the grape-berry moth, Eudt'inix hofraiut Schifl'., 

 PJatynota jiavedana Clem., Tortrix alhicontaiia Clem., Ceiiaj'six piAli- 

 tnna Rob., and reticidatana Clem., as also Lopliodey'us trlferana Walk., 

 elsewhere noted as a violet insect. 



FULLER'S ROSE BEETLE. 



{Anoiiii/ii.s fii/lrri Horn.) 



Various greenhouse plants, and roses in particular, are often 

 severely injured and destroyed, unless remedial measures are adopted, 

 by a moderate-sized, obscure, brown or gra}^ snout-beetle, commonly 

 known as Fuller's rose beetle, Ardmigus fuUeri Horn. Prior to the 

 3'ear 1871 this species does not appear to have been recognized; in 

 short, its technical description was not pul)lished until the Centennial 

 3'ear. At about that time and soon afterwards, as well as at intervals 

 later, it has attracted considera)»le attention on account of its ravages
