The upright standard of the support consists of wires running parallel to each other except at Intervals, where they converge and engage each other. There are other circular piece of wire with downwardly projecting prongs which can be fastened on the standard at eny of the point where the sides converge, thus forming shoulders in which to hang the prongs. These rings. It will be seen, can be moved i:p and down the standard to accommodate the growing plant and placed where most needed.

Connecticut Acrlrulturul Experiment Station.) A brief note was printed In the last report of this station regarding the oci currence of the leopard moth In Connecticut. Since this note was published considerable evidence has been brought to our attention of serious damage to shade trees, especially elms, by this insect. Pruning of the trees and especially the removal of dead branches reveals the tunnels of the leopard moth larva, which la a borer In the branches and trunka of trees. many species of broad-leaveSeveral specimens of the adult moths have been captured In New Haven, but It was not known until recently that the insect Is doing much Injury to the trees In Connecticut The leopard moth Is a European pest, and like many other very Injurious Insects that we now have to fight, was accidentally introduced Into this country, being first noticed in June, 1881, at Hoboken. N. J. Three year later Dr. E. B. Southwlck found it Injuring trees In Central park. New York city, and In 1S94 pronounced It one of the worst Insect pests attacking shade trees. The leopard moth was soon found In other cities near New York, and In 1907 Mr. A. II.

I., and also that many of the fine elms of Cambridge, Mass., were threatened with destruction by this Insect. The leopard moth Is reported by Professor Smith as occurring as far south as Long Branch, N. J. As it first appeared In Hoboken, N. J., It will be seen that like many other European Insects introduced Into this country it has spread northward much more rapidly than in any other direction. The position of the caterpillars tunneling In the branches, especially when they are In the tops of large trees, render them exceedingly dial-cuto reach.
