174 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Off. Due. 



The liKl I lull tlicre wcin' oiilv seven -iiuisciics fctnscd ceil ilicatcs 

 i() sell stock out of a total ol' one linndi-ed and loi-l^y-livi' itidicaies 

 a very satisfaetory condition as tai- as iclates to the presence of Sau 

 •Ios(? scak' and injurious tree diseases. The majority of the nursery- 

 men lia\(' fumij^ating plants on llieir pK inises, while others con- 

 tPmplate the erection of similar plants for the destruction of in- 

 jurious insects and tree diseases. 



There is no doubt that the law governing these matters is ac- 

 complishing much good, and (lie good results to be attained through 

 the sale of nursery stock that is free of disease, will make itself evi- 

 dent in later years. If the distribution of injurious tree diseases 

 can be prohibited through the nursery as an agency, the-n it is a 

 very important step in the right d^irection, and will be of inestimable 

 benefit, not onlj^ to the buyer of the nursery stock but to the nursery- 

 men as well, and will place the State of Pennsylvania on the same 

 level as that occujjied by sister States which have stringent laws. 

 This Division is also working in hearty co-operation with similar Di 

 \ isions of other States, following very closely shipments of diseased 

 stock from States having no laws governing this matter. 



Appended to this report is a complete list of (he nurserymen of the 

 State, together with their postofifice address and the number of 

 acres comprising each nursery. 



Very respectfully,
