A practical, historical roundup of New York’s insect problems and how to fight them.

This 1897 report compiles observations from the state’s entomologist on pests that attack trees, crops, and homes. It blends field notes with ready-to-use remedies, offering guidance for farmers, nurserymen, and homeowners alike.

Contents cover a range of familiar pests—tree borers, leaf-eaters, aphids, weevils, and household nuisances—together with methods that were in use at the time, such as washes, dusts, and selective sprays. The volume also notes how natural enemies helped check some insect problems and how certain crops and settings influenced damage.

Pests that threaten fruit trees, elms, willows, and other common plants, with notes on life cycles and harm levels.
Apple-tree borers, elm-leaf beetle, woolly apple louse, aphids, and other widespread pests.
Practical remedies and preventive measures, including sprinklered washes, kerosene emulsions, and timing for applications.
Observations on how weather, geography, and local practices affect pest pressure and control success.

Ideal for readers interested in agricultural history, early pest management, and the practical texture of 19th‑century entomology.
