72 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



LEGISLATION. 



In previous reports mention has been made of defects in the state law 

 relating to the inspection of orchards and nurseries and at the suggestion 

 of the State Horticultural Society and many nurserymen and fruit growers 

 of the state, a bill was prepared by myself, and introduced by Senator Crop- 

 sey of Kalamazoo County, to correct the imperfections. For the most part 

 it merely combined the three laws previously upon the statute books and 

 unified the requirements. The principal changes were to make the spraying 

 and j^ellows laws applicable to cities and villages as well as townships, and 

 to give the state inspector of nurseries and orchards authority to enforce 

 the law so far as orchards are concerned. 



I append a list of the firms licensed to sell nursery stock in Michigan. 

 Those first named include such as are engaged in the propagation of trees 

 and plants for sale, to which is added the list of dealers in nursery stock, 

 and the foreign nurseries that have agents selling stock within the state:
