EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 183 



As the public may be interested to know the names of the parties 

 licensed to do business in Michigan, the list is appended. It includes all 

 inspected and certificated by Prof. Hendrick, and the additions made by 

 Mr. Trine up to March 25. 



The law permits fruit growers to dispose of surplus plants, but all other 

 parties who sell nursery stock in Michigan without complying with the 

 provisions of the law are subject to fine or imprisonment, or both. 



Some nurserymen have given the impression that the certificate of the 

 inspector " guaranteed " the stock, but it does nothing of the kind, as it 

 merely states that he has examined the stock and has found no trace of 

 injurious insects or dangerous diseases. It in no way guarantees the stock 

 to be true to name or even well grown, and should not be understood as 

 applying to the quality of the stock except as above stated. 



The report of Prof. Hendrick and the full text of the law is herewith 

 given.
