466 THE MONTHLY BULLETIN, 



At the port of San Diego, while the growth has been somewhat less 

 pronounced, a concrete example of the result of a thorough quarantine 

 is afforded in the report of that station for June, which includes the 

 finding of contraband fruit from Mexico on a fishing launch. Here is 

 striking evidence of the necessity of horticultural quarantine which goes 

 further than the safeguarding of the more probable avenues of entry 

 for horticultural products, and which overlooks no possible means for 

 the entry of such materials. 



After three years of intimate association with William Wood, Los 

 Angeles County Horticultural Commissioner, and the individual mem- 

 bers of that Commission, it is with genuine regret that we announce this 

 change of location. The Los Angeles Quarantine Station has become 

 deeply indebted and is sincerely grateful for the many courtesies which 

 have been unfailingly and cheerfully volunteered for the quarantine 

 work in Los Angeles. We take this opportunity, therefore, to express 

 our appreciation of the assistance and cooperation which we have re- 

 ceived from the County Horticultural Commission in carrying out the 

 quarantine work in southern California during the past three years.
