CHERRY APHID (Mvzua corasi Fab.) 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants report this insect rather numerous 
in Ulster, Columbia, and Monroe Counties.*^ 
Delaware C, 0. Houghton. "Trees which were covered with this aphid last 
year are entirely free from it this season." 
Indiana J. J. Davis (June 16). "This is one of the more common aphids 
recently reported." 
Ohio H. A. Gossard (May 26). "The black cherry aphid has been received 
two or three times ." 
Nebraska H. H. Swenk (June 15). "In Nance and Merrick Counties the cherry 
trees were heavily attacked by the cherry aphid." 
Missouri A. C. Burrill (May 20) . "The first bad case of the season was 
observed at Bloomfield to day." 
' UGLY NEST CATERPILLAR ( Archips cerasivorana Fitch) 
New York E. P. Felt (June 23). "An unusual infestation of this insect 
on choke- cherry w,as noted early in the month in the western 
portion of Orleans County, a small group of shrubs being so 
badly infested that all of the leaves were devoured and the

PLUM 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Massachusetts H. A. Mostrom (June 10) . "This insect is particularly in 
evidence where oarly spraying was not attended to. Have 
noted some trees in Essex County with more than half of the 
fruit infested." 
Connecticut W. E. Britton (July 23). "This pest i6 apparently more 
abundant than usual in the New Haven and Middletown districts. 
Experiments carried on at Wallingford by Mr. E. M. Stoddard 
seem to indicate that spraying with atomic sulphur is somewhat 
effective." 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants ."The plum curculio is causing serious 
damage in practically the entire fruit growing region of New 
York State, being equally destructive on plums, cherries, and 
apples."

apples at Pompton. Also doing damage to peaches at this place."'
