  This 
  insect 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  as 
  injurious 
  to 
  the 
  beautiful 
  white 
  elm, 
  Uhnus 
  

   Americana, 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  so 
  liberally 
  planted 
  and 
  is 
  so 
  highly 
  prized 
  as 
  

   our 
  most 
  valuable 
  shade-tree, 
  as 
  the 
  maple 
  borer, 
  Plagionotus 
  speciosus, 
  is 
  

   to 
  the 
  very 
  desirable 
  sugar 
  maple. 
  The 
  borers 
  in 
  the 
  wood 
  and 
  bark 
  

   of 
  our 
  trees 
  are 
  dreaded 
  most 
  deservedly, 
  not 
  only 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  their 
  

   ofttimes 
  excessive 
  injuries, 
  but 
  for 
  the 
  reason 
  that 
  their 
  operations 
  are 
  of 
  

   such 
  a 
  nature 
  that 
  severe 
  damage, 
  if 
  not 
  fatal 
  injury, 
  is 
  often 
  done 
  before 
  

   their 
  presence 
  is 
  even 
  suspected. 
  The 
  unthrifty 
  condition

  the 
  infested
