. Annual report of the Board of Control of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station. Figure Figure 2Figures i and 2. Two Peach-tree Roots, showing Peach-tree Borer. New York Agricultural Experiment Station. 5G1 packed and shipped to some distant state. Such trees shouldbe thrown out and destroyed or the borers should be cut outbefore the trees are packed. Nature of the Injury. The gummy exudations from the roots of the infested treesnear the surface of the ground indicate the work of this close examination will show that the exudation comes froman opening in the bark which leads to one or more channels justunderneath. These channels have been made by the borers andare not infrequently found to girdle the trees, thus causing aninjury from which the tree is not likely to recover unless reme-dial measures are at once resorted to. Plate XLIII, figs. 1 and 2,are from photographs of plum roots (var. Myrobalan), which havebeen injured by the Peach-tree Borer. At Fig. 2 the borer itselfis shown in the root which was cut open to expose the insect to view. Description
