CABBAG E 
CABBAGE MAGGOT ( Hylemvia brass icae Bouche) 
Massachusetts H. A. Mostrom (June 10) . "This insect is quite serious in 
Essex County, some farmers losing rather a heavy percentage 
of the plants set out. Many of the larvae have already 
pupated." 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants. "Late in May and early in June 
serious injury to cabbage was reported from Chautauqua, Monroe, 
and Nassau Counties." 
Colorado C. P. Gillette (June 2l) . "During my residence of more than 
thirty years in Colorado I have never seen or heard of a 
cabbage plant attacked by the cabbage maggot until recently 
when two complaints came to my office, one accompanied by 
a good-sized package of cabbage plants from a market near 
Denver that were ruined by this insect." 
STRIPED FLEA-BEETLE ( Phvllotreta vittata Fab.) 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants. "Late in May these flea-beetles 
were reported as doing serious damage in Nassau County." 
STRAWBERRY 
STRAWBERRY WEEVIL ( Anthonomus signatus Say) 
New York E. P. Felt (May 24). "Somewhat generally prevalent in Albany, 
Columbia, and Saratoga Counties where it has been doing quite 
serious damage to old beds, ranging from 10 to 50 per cent 
damage." 
Barvpeithes pellucidus Boh. 
New York E. P. Felt (June 23). "Mr. L. W. Jones and Mr. R. E. Horsey 
have both brought to my attention this weevil. It occurred 
only in small numbers at Rochester and Geneva." 
STRAWBERRY CROWN-BORER ( Tyloderma fragariae Riley) 
Tennessee S. Marcovitch (June 10) . "The strawberry crown-borer is a 
well known pest of old strawberry fields but in Tennessee 
it was found very numerous in the mother plants set out this 
spring and interfering with the production of runners. This 
condition is becoming common in Tennessee and it is becoming 
difficult to obtain a stand, due to the work of this borer. 
Full grown larvae can now be found."
