The parent insect emerges from a slender brown pupal case and is a delicate, grayish moth. Treatment: spray thoroughly in early June with poison. 4 Pistol case-bearer (C o 1 e o p h o r a m a 11 v o r e 11 a). Small caterpillars in pistol-shaped cases feed from April to May on the opening flowers and young leaves of the apple tree, often skeleton- izing the latter. The dark drab colored moths ap- pear the latter part of June, de- posit eggs ' and the young emerge there- from the latter part of July. The winter is passed by the caterpillars within cases securely attached to the bark. Treatment: spray infested trees with the poison just as the buds are opening, and repeat, if necessary, a few days to a week later. 5 Cigar case-bearer (Coleophora fletcherella). Small caterpillars in cigar-shaped cases feed from April to June on the buds and foliage of apple trees. The delicate, gray moths appear from the middle of June to the middle of July, lay eggs, which hatch in about two weeks, the young being leaf-miners. The cater- pillars soon make cases, later attach them securely to the bark, pass the winter therein, and begin feed- ing again in early spring. Treatment: spray infested trees with poison just case-bearer on ^ '^ ^ •' bit of leaf—four as the buds are opening, and repeat, if necessary, a slre^^riginy.
