Extract

Severe local infestations of a cottony scale on peach have been reported from the Niagara district of Ontario since the early 1920's. The species has been commonly referred to the cottony peach scale, Pulvinaria amygdali Ckll., but Steinweden (1946) showed that amygdali was an entirely different species, leaving the identity of the local species on peach in doubt.
