Order Coleoptera. Family Curculionid^.. UINCES are more largely grown in western New York than elsewhere in the Union. The in Jus try has grown up slowly and quietly, and has not attracted general attention; yet, in its way, it is one of the important agricultural interests of the state. Quince growing can never assume the proportions of other orchard industries, because of the limited demand for the fruit, and for this reason, also, the most careful attention must be given to marketing the crop and to reducing the injuries from a number of insects and fu7igous enemiesy* The insect enemies which have thus far seriously interfered with the growing of quinces in New York may be counted on the fingers of one hand. Such an enumeration would include the round-headed apple-tree borer, the codling-moth,f the New York plum lecanium scale,t and the insect discussed in this bulletin—the quince curcuho. Of these insect enemies, the first and the last one mentioned have caused New York quince growers by far the most trouble and damage ; the lecanium scale was noticeably injurious for only one or two seasons in a few isolated orchards, and comparatively few of the wormy quinces are to be credited to the work of the codling-moth. Quince trees often suffer more from the attacks of the round-headed apple-tree borer than do apple trees. Fortunately, however, this borer is not as yet well established in many of our quince orchards, and is thus rather local in its distribution. One quince grower may have to keep constantly on the alert to prevent the borers from ruining * Bulletin So, Cornell Experiment Station.
