meraformis ) on deciduous and evergreen 
trees and shrubs, gypsy moth ( Porthebria 
dispar) on aspen and Lombardy poplar and 
walnut, and the web worm ( Hyphantria 
c un-ea ) on most all deciduous trees. The 
methods of control are spraying arsenate 
of lead and tree banding with tree tangle- 
foot, also destruction of nests. 
The scale pests, the oyster shell scale 
( Mytilapsis pomonim) , maple, ash, elm and 
horse chestnut, San Jose scale ( Aspidiotus 
perniciosus) , flowering crab, hawthorn and 
Cvdonia Spindle tree scale ( Cliionaspis 
euonymi) on Euonymus Americana and 
Radicans; Terrapin scale ( Eulasanium ni- 
grofasciatum ) on Magnolia Stella; Scurfy 
scale ( Cliionaspis furfurus ) on pines, arbor 
vitea and fir; Elmbark scale ( Gossyparia 
ulmi) on elm ; Rose scale ( Diaspis rosae ) 
on roses, and Pit-making scale ( Asterole - 
canium variolosum ) on mossy cup, oak and 
elm, controlled by spraying lime-sulphur 
salt with caustic potash. 
The borers: Bronze Birch borer ( Agri- 
Ins auxins) on birch, hickory; bark borer 
( Scolytus quadrispinosus) on hickory ; 
Leopard moth (Zeuzera pyrina) on sugar 
maples and ash; Beech borers ( Bostrichus 
domesticus) on beech; Ash borers ( Hylesi - 
nus crenatus and Fraxinns) on ash; 
Pigeon Horntail ( Tremex columba) on 
Norway maples; Poplar and Willow bor- 
ers ( Saperda Populea) on poplars and 
willows ; Spruce and Larch Bark borers 
(Bostriolus laricis) ; Spruce and Larch Bark 
borers (Sir ex juvehcus ) . 
Borers are exceedingly difficult to eradi- 
cate, where badly infected heavy pruning 
and destruction of all badly infected wood. 
Probing with sharp wire, injecting bisul- 
phide of carbon in the holes and plugging 
with softened pitch or tar and where wood 
is sufficiently heavy cutting out with chisel 
and treating with coal tar. A heavy spray- 
ing at frequent intervals during July, 
August and early September of whale oil 
soap, copper sulphate and concentrated lye 
will be of much benefit in eradicating dur- 
ing the egg depositing. 
Among the other insects' the Red Spider 
(Tetranyehus bimaculatus) on many ever- 
greens, especially boxwoods. Strong spray 
of sulphur lye and whale oil soap ; Leaf 
Roller ( Tortrix heparana) on plane con- 
trolled by tree banding and early spraying 
copper sulphate, sulphur and lye; Holly 
leaf fly ( Phytomyza ilicis) on Holly, Rho- 
dodendron, Azalea Ameona, spraying with 
whale oil soap during summer; Floating- 
White or Wooly Aphis ( Pseudococcus 
acesis) on Beech and Maple, spraying at 
first appearance with copper sulphate, soap 
and lye weakened solutions at frequent in- 
tervals. 
Some of the fungus diseases, the result 
of early improper treatment, are Slim Flux 
on Elms, false binder fungus ( Forms igniar- 
ius). Treatment has been described in 
foregoing portion of article. 
From the list of pests and diseases on 
the trees on West Laurel Hill Cemetery 
one should not understand total infection, 
for such is not the case. The number of 
pests has been discerned by careful re- 
search and are under thorough control. 
The existence of a greater number and 
greater extent will be found in most any 
arboretum after a careful, systematic 
search. 
GIPSY AND BROWN-TAIL MOTH QUARANTINE 
It has been recently determined by the 
Secretary of Agriculture that the gipsy 
moth ( Porthetria dispar) is dangerously 
prevalent in the states of Maine, New 
Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode 
Island; and the brown-tail moth ( Euproctis 
chrysorrhoea) in Maine, Vermont, New 
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and 
Rhode Island.

fore quarantined considerable areas in 
these states as infested by the brown-tail
