The MAPLE Bus About this time last year
the silver-mape trees along the avenue and around
the reservations attracted much attention by the
appearance OF the ander-sides Of the branches
Which were perfectly coated with white, silky
substance, which upon examination proved to be
nests Of insects, Of desert ption before com IA ra-
lively unknown. They do not appear to iniure
the trees, but merely construct their nests upon
the bark OF the maple; and the trees upon which
they were most numerous last year are now In az
full leaf and vigor AZ ever. The insects are again
coating the branches with their snowy nests, we
