GREEN APPLE APKIS ( Aphis ocm.l DeG, ) 
Massachusetts H„ T. Fernald (April 25). "Green aphids on apple were 
reported as unusually abundant in the eastern part of 
the State; some of them there had hatched on April 5, 
yet the buds which had swollen had not commenced to 
break. In the northern part of Essex County they had 
hatched by April 11 j in the Connecticut Valley they were 
hatching on the 9th and 10th, and in Berkshire County 
some at least had hatched by April 18; in the western 
part of the State they did not appear to be as numerous 
as in the eastern part* Cool weather, with standing 
water frozen over, came on the night of April 20, but 
does not appear to have been sufficiently severe to have 
affected the aphids." 
New York C JU Crosby and assistants. "This insect was first 
observed on April 10 in Orleans County; by April 15th 
it was observed as common throughout the county but 
abundant in only tw© orchards. It is, apparently, not 
so prevalent in Orange County but is very abundant in the 
University orchard at Ithaca." 
E» P. Felt (April 24)„ "Observed on April 16 in small 
numbers at Nassau in Rensselaer County." 
New Jersey M. D. Leonard (April 9). K Stsm mothers present in small

cold, and rainy. Eggs began hatching near Corvallis on

and on March 29 in 1920." 
APPLE-GRAIN APHIS ( Rhomlosinhum rYim folia* Fitch) 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants. "This insect is reported as 
fairly abundant in Chautauqua, Ulster, Monroe, Onondaga, 
and Dutchess Counties. The first aphids were found on 
apple buds in Columbia County on April 9. Cold weather 
and rains have reduced the numbers of this pest mofcsiderably 
about Ithaca."
