. Annual report. Entomological Society of Ontario; Insect pests; Insects -- Ontario Periodicals. 190!^ ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 39. Colias philodice. Colours j ellow and black. Much damage has been caused, however, to some orchard and farm crops from the unusual character of the season throughout this section; it having been generally speaking extremely wet and remarkably cool. The principal crops thus severely injured are the apple, clover, potato, corn and tomato. The first mentioned (apple) is very abundant, but the fruit is being destroyed by a fungus growth, which may not appear to be of much consequence when the apples are being packed but develops enormously in a short time and renders the fruit unfit for sale. A sample is Fig herewith submitted of a test case, where a fruit packer put up a barrel of choice apples which had insignificant looking spots when packed ; they were packed in the usual careful manner, placed on board of a steamboat and left under the usual conditions of transhipment on board for three weeks, at the expiration of that time they were opened up and found to be covered with the large scabs which appear on the samples exhibited. [The sample apples shown were so damaged as to be perfectly worthless.] The potato crop is almost an entire failure owing to a blight which ptruck the vines when in bloom and 23. Pieris rap*. Colours : white and black. developed into rot in the tubers. A large proportion of the red clover hay was partially, and in cases wholly, spoiled in the curing owing to the continuous rains prevalent at that time. From a like cause coupled witk the low temperature, corn and tomatoes, which are grown in large quantities for canning pur- poses were, generally speaking, a failure. ,.
