  P. 
  laticollis 
  Dru. 
  Throughout 
  the 
  State, 
  July 
  and 
  August. 
  The 
  larva 
  

   lives 
  in 
  the 
  roots 
  of 
  many 
  trees 
  and 
  shrubs, 
  including 
  orchard 
  trees 
  

   and 
  small 
  fruits. 
  On 
  grape 
  and 
  blackberry 
  it 
  is 
  sometimes 
  injurious, 
  

   causing 
  less 
  damage 
  to 
  the 
  former 
  than 
  the 
  latter. 
  The 
  larva 
  re- 
  

   . 
  quires 
  three 
  years 
  to 
  reach 
  its 
  full 
  growth; 
  and 
  when 
  it 
  works 
  in 
  the 
  

   crown 
  of 
  the 
  blackberry 
  causes 
  so 
  much 
  injury 
  that 
  the 
  removal 
  of 
  

   the 
  affected 
  portion 
  and 
  the 
  destruction 
  of 
  the 
  borer 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  

   remedy.
