the buds close to the trunks than on the outsides of the trees. Dozens of 
buds inside had nothing but rosy aphids and outside none. -As high as l6 
found per bud, but outnumbered by ether aphids in total numbers.

growth in prepink and pink stages at Morganville, Monmouth County.

Missouri. L. Haseman (May 24): Very few complaints received and in central 
Missouri only an occasional tree shows any evidence of rosy aphids. Reported 
as showing up to some extent in northeastern Missouri in practically all 
orchards. Predators feeding heavily on then, so no great damage expected.
