VI DECIDUOUS FRUIT INSECTS AND INSECTICIDES. 



The sixth article, Notes on the Peach Bud Mite, brings together 

 information on a creature which is held responsible for a stop-back 

 effect on peach nursery stock, and which has not previously been 

 classified and given a scientific name. 



The Grape Scale, comprising the seventh and last paper, deals 

 with an insect which has been the cause of frequent complaint, espe- 

 cially in the environs of Washington, during the past few years. The 

 shedding of bark from the grape is, on the whole, unfavorable to scale 

 insects, yet the present species, in several instances noted, has shown 

 its ability to develop to a decidedly injurious extent.
