Excerpt from Catalogue of the Exhibit of Economic Entomology at the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, Ill., 1893, Vol. 31: Made Under the Direction of the EntomologistThis section of the exhibit comprises some 602 special exhibits, each of which is an object lesson and pictorial epitome of the life history of a single injurious Species, including as far as possible the different stages of growth of the insect, the injury it does, with specimens, its enemies and parasites, the available remedies and preventives, and references to the chief articles where full information may be found. These references are principally to Government and State reports to which the farmer is most likely to have access. These exhibits are grouped together according to the plants or animals affected, and relate solely to orchard, field and garden crops, the parasites of domestic ani mals, and household pests. A small representative collection of cases of insect enemies to forest trees has also been added.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
