The Florists' Review 



April 1, lOlfii 



are rendered unsightly and crippled and 

 of no commercial value. 



The moth lays its eggs early in Au- 

 gust singly on the new buds of the 

 pine. The young larva soon hatches 

 and eats its way into the bud, where 

 it spends the winter. As soon as the 

 sap begins to rise in the trees it leaves 

 its winter quarters and bores into the 

 adjoining bud, destroying this and as 

 many others as it needs for food. When 

 the remaining buds begin to grow into 

 young shoots, the larva attacks these 

 as well, consuming the entire inside of 

 the youngest and injuring the more de- 

 veloped ones so that they grow down- 

 ward and outward instead of upward. 

 It is impossible to reach the larva with 

 any insecticide after it has once found 

 its winter quarters, and the only effec- 

 tive way of combating the pest is to 

 destroy the infected buds and twigs. 

 Pruning of this kind in the fall and 

 winter months will minimize the dam- 

 age in the spring, but it is more diffi- 

 cult to determine the existence of the 

 pest at this time than when the injury 

 is further developed. A little practice, 

 however, will enable the nurseryman 

 to recognize the trace of pitch at the 

 base of the bud covering the entrance 

 hole of the larva. 



NORTH DAKOTA TREE BOUNTY. 



By a law which took effect in North 

 Dakota March 2, 1915, the act of that 

 state providing for the payment of 

 bounties for tree planting is amended 

 so as to read as follows: 



"Any person who shall hereafter 

 plant, cultivate and keep in growing, 

 thrifty condition one acre and not 

 more than ten acres of prairie land 

 with any kind of forest trees, shall be 

 entitled to $3 for each acre so planted 

 and cultivated, to be paid out of the 

 general fund of the county wherein 

 such trees are planted, but such bounty 

 shall not be so paid unless such grove 

 be maintained upon a tract of not less 

 than eighty acres and shall have at 

 least 400 living trees in each acre so 

 maintained, and kept in growing con- 

 dition, and in no case shall any bounty 

 be paid in excess of the amount of 

 real estate taxes levied for such year 

 upon the quarter section of which such 

 parcel of land planted to trees is a 

 part. ' '
