424 ANNUAL REPORTS OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



Distribution of imported nursery stock, hy States — Coutiuued. 



The total importations of nursery stock from foreign countries 

 indicated in this statement for the last four years is interesting in 

 view of war conditions affecting the principal exporting countries, 

 namely, France, Holland, and Belgium. The importations of 1913-14 

 were not influenced by the war, as these importations were com- 

 pleted before the war began. The war had no effect on importations 

 during the next two years and, in fact, there was an increase during 

 the second year of the war, 1915-16. A marked decrease is shown, 

 however, in the last year, 1916-17. The succeeding table shows 

 the country of origin, amount, and nature of these nursery stock 

 importations.
