Excerpt from Injurious and Beneficial, Insects of California Insect devastation costs the United States millions of dollars annu ally. California bears her full share, two millions being a reasonable estimate. Wise and timely application of well-known remedies would save much of this constant loss. Mr. E. O. Essig's signal success in the discovery and practice of control measures pointed him out as one fit to instruct the public as to the life histories of insects and the best methods to control their attacks. This led to the publication by the State Commission of Horticulture two years ago of Injurious and Beneficial Insects of California. Anticipating a great demand for the book, a very large edition was issued. These anticipa tions were greatly exceeded, and very soon, the edition was wholly exhausted. Commendation of the work was most hearty and reached the Commission from all countries, far and near. The call for another edition was loud and general. The Commission is greatly pleased to heed this request in the present enlarged and improved edition, which it feels sure will be very heartily welcomed.

Excerpt from The California Species of Mealy Bugs The systematic literature dealing with certain groups of the Coccidae or scale insects is extremely unsatisfactory, this condition being especially pronounced in the case of those groups commonly called the soft scales. The present author has stated in an earlier paper that of the nearly 100 species of mealy bugs thus far described from North America, including some 35 from California, not more than three or four are recognizable at all on the basis of the published descriptions if taken apart from their typical host and their type locality, nor at the time of the present writing does this statement need any extensive modification. A few species have been described since the statement was originally made and to some of these it may not apply, but so far as the species known at that time are concerned, the additional claim may safely be made that even under the optimum conditions cited, the identification of many of our species can not be accomplished with reasonable certainty.

Excerpt from The Coccidae of California: A Descriptive List of the Different Scale Insects, Found in and Reported From California About sixteen years ago the State Board of Horticulture published a list of the Coccidse (scale insects) of California, giving some twenty-species found in the State. At that time comparatively little was known, by the residents of the State, about scale bugs or the amount of injury that could be caused by them; yet, to-day, there is no other single family of insects that is as important to the horticulturists of the world as are these minute creatures, and we can not know too much about them. As a group they are very unattractive to the average entomologist, and even more so to the average horticulturist, yet a knowledge of the species and the best known methods of combating their attacks is a very essential part of the education of every successful fruit-grower. Fruit-growing is a competitive business, and the successful grower must avail himself of every opportunity to gain knowledge that will be of assistance to him in his business; therefore, it has been deemed advisable to bring before his notice the following list of species occurring in California, with illustrations and short descriptions of the more important varieties, in order to enable the grower to recognize and distinguish between the destructive species and those that are not so destructive. Since the first list was published, and especially during the last few years, there has been a very active period among the growers, orchardists, nurserymen, and those having greenhouse interests, to gain a knowledge of scale insects. This activity has not been prompted by a love of the study of this particular branch of entomology, but purely as a business proposition, for these seemingly insignificant insects are capable of causing an enormous loss to the orchard, vineyard, nursery, or field in which they have gained a foothold. It must be remembered that each scale insect, after it has settled on the trunk, branch, or leaf of its particular host plant, virtually turns itself into an automatic pump and extracts the sap which is so vital to the life and growth of the tree. Usually the damage is done before the infestation is discovered, as many of our growers are absolutely without the slightest knowledge of scale insects.
