   is 
  the 
  "vine

   which 
  is 
  always 
  injurious 
  and 
  often 
  

   ruinous; 
  there 
  are 
  two 
  broods, 
  and 
  the 
  

   winter 
  is 
  passed 
  in 
  the 
  egg 
  stage. 
  Re- 
  

   flowing 
  is 
  the 
  best 
  method 
  of 
  control; 
  

   arsenites 
  are 
  useful 
  if 
  applied 
  early;
