New Vork- Number of shipments, 860; 3,998 boxes, 229 bales, 33 bundles, 

 185 tubs, 121 baskets; boxes burned, 745; hales burned, 2. 



We arc nearly all of us under obligations to Dr. Howard for 

 reports on shipments of imported stock. If the importations this 

 winter prove to be free or partly free from brown-tails, it will be 

 largely the result of his visit to the entomologists in France. 



jN"o brown-tails were found on any stock except that grown in 

 France. We have inspected this fall hundreds of shipments from 

 Germany, England and Holland and a very few from France and 

 no pests have been reported. The bulk of stock used by our nur- 

 serymen for budding comes from France and most of it is received 

 in the first three months of the year. 



We are seemingly as ready for the work as is possible and shall 

 attack it with the hope of successfully delaying the establishment 

 of the two dreaded pests in New York State. 



ORCHARD INSPECTION 



The inspection of orchards the last year has been commenced 

 systematically in some counties containing the large commercial 

 orchards, though the work has been somewhat interrupted by the 

 importance of other lines of inspection. It is worthy of remark
