The insects are treated in several groups — those injuring the leaves and stems, those injuring the flowers and fruit and those affecting the roots or boring in the stems. The species of the last group are comparatively little known so that the bulk of the discussion deals with the forms affecting the leaves, blooms and fruit. In the list of species injuring the stems and leaves there are 18, while the forms iinjuring the flowers and fruit number five species. The majority of the pests with which the bulletin deals are species which occur in the United States." Journal of Economic Entomology 1912, Page 237. OCLC lists only one copy: NYPL.
