Readers of this pamphlet who are interested in insects and 

 fungi are urged to consult Bulletin No. 12, April, 1891, of 

 the Hatch Experiment Station of the Massachusetts Agri- 

 cultural College, which is a report on insects by Dr. C. H. 

 Fernald; and Bulletin No. 13, April, 1891, of the same sta- 

 tion, which contains directions for the use of fungicides and 

 insecticides by Prof. S. T. Maynard ; and Bulletin No. 39, 

 April, 1891, of the State Agricultural Experiment Station, 

 which gives information of practical importance upon the 

 treatment of fungous diseases by Prof. J. E. Humphrey. 

 No doubt these bulletins can be obtained upon application 

 to the respective stations.
