BARNA CLE SCALE ( Ceroplastes cirripedifcrmis Ccmst.) 
Georgia. J. B. Gill (March 23): The barnacle scale has been found infesting 
various plants at Albany and vicinity. Hackberry trees have been most severe- 
ly attacked by this species. 
GREENHOUSE CENTIPEDE ( Scutigcrella immaculata Newp.) 
Washington, D. C. F. E. Smith (March 22): Earing the fall of 1932 a florist in 
Washington, D. C, experienced serious losses to chrysanthemums which were 
growing in .ground benches. Snapdragons and radishes planted in the same beds 
following the chrj^santhemura crop have remained stunted or have died out be- 
cause of the continued root injury. The florist stated that similar injury 
has been noted in his greenhouses for three years but that he had attributed 
it to other causes. 
California. A. E. Michelbacher (March 19): In greenhouses the garden centipede 
has continued to do damage. In the Sacramento River Delta it has in several 
places done considerable damage to sugar-beet seedlings. 
AZALEA LEAP MINER ( Gracilaria azaleella Brants.)-.

leella , was found curling and somewhat damaging azalea leaves at Greenwich. 
GLADIOLUS 
GLADIOLUS TERIPS ( Taenio thrips gladioli M. & S.) 
a 
Florida. J. R. Watson (March 27): The gladiolus thrips did not do much damage to 
gladiolus plantings in Florida until the middle of March, but at the present 
time is doing severe damage in '.many plantations. The incidence of rapid breed- 
ing coincided with a marked rise in temperature. Apparently "glads 1 ' planted 
early in Florida will escape severe damage from this post. 
New York. P. J. Parrctt (March 22): Gladiolus thrips are moderately abundant in 
western New York. 
ORCHID 
i. • ■ORCHID: WEEVIL ■(^■or' T merollus laevimar^o . Cha-rpy)

greenhouse. 
ROSE 
RED-NECKED CANE, BORER ( Agrilus ruficollis Fab.)

Roses were badly infested and injury to branches was very pronounced.
