he elm leaf caterpillar (Vanessa an-tiopa) have wrought destruction to many valuable trees. In the city of Yincennes, the elm tree borer (Compsidea triden-tata) has killed perhaps half of the elms in the last three years. The slippery elm (Ulmus pubescens) is a smaller tree not so often planted. MAPLE. The two maples most commonly planted are the soft or silvermaple and the ISTorway maple. The latter, as its name implies, isnot a native of this country. It is, however, an excellent tree, pro-ducing a compact round head densely set with dark gTcen foliage.It seems to be comparatively free from insect pests.
