Abstract
BULLETIN 805 of the United States Department of Agriculture deals with “Two Lealhoppers Injurious to Apple and Nursery Stock,” and gives an account of the apple leafhopper and the rose leafhopper. Of the two species, the apple leafhopper causes the greater damage, and is most prevalent in the eastern States, attacking a large variety of plants, on which it chiefly injures the tender terminal leaves, causing them to turn brown. The rose leafhopper also attacks a large variety of plants, and is especially prevalent in the north-western States. Full accounts of the life-histories and descriptions of the insects in all stages are given, and sprays for controlling them recommended.
