gnificant in that it opens
an immense and practically an untried field in entomological work; that
is, the making use of different odors to attract different species of
insects. A series of experiments in this direction with the Mediteranean
fruit fly, also recently reported, have been most surprising but too
extensive to permit of discussion here.

Nurserymen intending to import currants or gooseberries from Europe will
be interested in learning that there is a possibility of a federal
quarantine on shrubs of this genus grown abroad.

State Entomologist Circular No. 36, issued in January, 1916, and
entitled the "Red Rose Beetle," by S. Marcovitch (illustrated), is
available for distribution. Application should be accompanied by one

SECRETARY'S CORNER

PLANT COMMERCIAL ORCHARDS.--It is well established that in
certain localities at least in the state commercial orcharding is on a

yourself, but pass on to others the valuable opportunity which you
yourself are enjoying. It is a well established principle of life that
the greatest happiness consists in giving happiness to others. As any
member can do his neighbor a favor, without any expense to himself, and

facilities offered by the Horticultural Society, there is evidently a
double reason why he should do so. For the small membership fee charged

TIMELY NOTES IN OUR MONTHLY.--There will be in our monthly
magazine during most of the rest of the months of the year five pages
devoted to timely topics. The experience of the past year or two in this
direction encourages us to believe that
