These two organizations have joined forces to promote horticuitural interests in all its branches, and hereafter will be known as the American Horticultural Soctety, with headquarters in Wash- ington. These merging formed about the same time, the American Horticultural Society in Washington, with members in many States, while the National Horticul- tural Society was located in the Da- kotas, Minnesota and other North Central States. Having practically the same mission, they have united to foster horticultural interests through out the entire United States. In order to promote more localized efforts, there is provision for regional, State or local branches.

Insect pests annually exact a toll, through injury of property, of at least $2,000,000,000. It has been conserva- tively estimated that this, in the case of plants, amcunts to about 10 per cent of the crops secured. From the time plants begin to grow until their har vesting, vegetation is constantly threatened with attacks from insects. Tt is essential that the amateur he informed about insects and their con trol. “Insect Pests of Our Garden Plants and Their Control” is the sub- ject of Bulletin 3 of the American Hor- ticultural Society and was written by Dr. C.
