eases and all forms of insects. When the least indication of any un- 

 familiar pest is found it is made the object of study until it is worked 

 out, as, for example, in our study and original publication on the 

 peach bud mite. 



In addition to the inspection of nurseries we have made inspec- 

 tion of all greenhouses that grow florists' plants for shipping by 

 mail or express, in order to see that these are properly inspected and 

 licensed, so they can comply with the Federal requirements, espe- 

 cially with the parcel post regulations in regard to tagging with a 

 certificate of inspection all such stock to be shipped or mailed. 



Tlie Nursery Inspection work has been chiefly in charge of Mr. 

 E. B. Engle, assisted by all of the orchard inspectors in whose dis- 

 tricts were any nurseries demanding attention. The report of this 

 particular line of service of this office is as follows:
