Horticultural Society. 



The Newport Horticultural Society 

 met Tuesday evening, February 24. 

 President Potter exhibited slides and 

 explained specimens of calosoma beetle, 

 which, both in the larva and adult 

 stages, is the natural enemy of the 

 gypsy moth. There was an interesting 

 discussion regarding the ravages that 

 have been made by the gypsy moth in 

 this section and the success that has 

 attended the efforts in combating this 

 pest. A similar discussion took place 

 regarding the brown-tail moth. The 

 corn borer will be up for discussion at 

 the next meeting. 



The preliminary work was com- 

 menced on the premium lists for the 

 spring and fall shows to be held by the 

 society.
