REPORT OF STATE HORTICULTURIST. S3 



^ Burlap this year reached a selling price that made it almost 

 prohibitive, and if some of the towns burlapped had not aided 

 in the purchase we would have been forced to dispense with 

 this part of the work. The towns aiding in the work were 

 Wells, Lisbon Falls, the cities of Bath and Biddeford. 



Biddeford purchased 2.000 yards, which gave us a working 

 capacity of 10,000 yards. I feel that we can utter no praise 

 too great for those towns that were so loyal to the State 

 Department in this work. I will also say that mere words 

 cannot express my gratitude or appreciation to the state ofificials 

 who have so materially aided me with their advice, and by 

 their kindly interest in my work, during the past two years. I 

 will also make special mention of Inspectors Flynn and Gross, 

 and the crews under their charge, for the faithful and efficient 

 service rendered the state during their term of office. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 ED. J. CADEY, 



Special Field Agent.
