NOTES FOR THE YEAR 



This season of 1907 was marked by comparatively few outbreaks 

 by the more common injurious insects. The destructive species 

 affecting fruits, field and garden crops gave comparatively little 

 trouble. The extensive depredations upon shade trees in recent 

 years have done much to bring certain forms into deserved promi- 

 nence as destructive species. Those occurring upon forest trees 

 have likewise been more numerous, and the recent extensive depre- 

 dations by certain forms have served to emphasize their economic 

 importance in a most convincing manner. The outbreaks by the 

 green striped maple worm and the snow-white linden moth have 

 been particularly noteworthy, as recorded elsewhere. 



Fruit insects 

 Red-humped apple tree caterpillar (Schizura concinna 

 Abb. & Sm.). This leaf feeder, generally distributed throughout 

 the State, is more or less common from year to year. It attracted 

 some notice during the latter part of the summer and more on 

 account of its defoliating young trees in the middle of October.
