This volnme has been prepared for the purpose of furnishing the farmer, the fruit growe; ,the floriculturist, and the housekeeper with a concise account of the more importnnt injurious insects with wliich they have to contend, .together with a summary of tlio latest knowledge concerning the best methods of preventing or counteracting the injuries of tliesx) pests. In its preparation free use has been made of the information scattered through the literature of economic entomology; and, as a rule, it has been found impracticable to give to each author credit for first working out the life histories of tlie various species. In one way or another the contributions of nearly every American economic entomologist have been drawn ui)on ;but especial mention should be made of the helj) obtained from the )uT)lications of Dr. 0. V. Riley, recently United States entomologist, whose remarkable investigations during the last quarter of a century have placed him foremost among the worlds economic entomologists. Mention should also be made of tbe aid derived from the writings of Messrs. I i uner, Cook, Comstock, Fei-nald, Fletcher, Forbes, Garman, Gillette, Harvey, Howard, Lintner, Osborn, Packard, Saunders, Slingerland, and many others. The illustrations of this volume have also been gleaned from various sources. I am under obligations to the authorities of the Department of Agriculture and various experiment stations, particularly those of I llinois, Cornell University, Colorado, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey and Ohio, for the privilege of getting duplicate electrotypes.
