picked, apply Paris green in dour dusting it thoroughly 
over the leaves in the evening when there is some dew on. 
An application very early in the morning will do equally 
well. Mix the poison and flour in the proportion of about 
I to 20 by weight and dust from a cheesecloth sack. 
This insect has been reported quite abundant about 
Rocky P'ord, this state, and it is the only place that I know 
it to occur in Colorado. 
The other insects mentioned in this paper that attack 
the strawberry are : Red Spider, Apple Flea- Beetle and 
the Grape Leaf-hopper. 
INSECT ENEMIES OF ROSE BUSHES. 
THE RED SPIDER. {Tetraiiychiis-, 
This insect is seldom abundant enough to do appreciable 
harm to orchard trees, but often becomes a serious pest on 
rose and currant bushes, sweet peas and other low^ plants. 
Although called “Red Spider,” it is seldom red in color, but 
nearly always pale green with about three dark blotches on 
either side of the body. It is spider-like in appearance and 
is so small as to be seen with difficulty without the aid of a 
magnifying glass. It inhabits, chiefly, the under side of the 
leaves.
