NURSERY INSPECTION IN MINNESOTA. 

 1916. 



The season of 1916 was favorable for the devehjpmeut of dis- 

 eases and insects in the nurseries, the usually common pests being 

 much more abundant than in most years. The Tussock Moth was 

 especially abundant, and did considerable damage in certain nur- 

 series. One of the red spiders was so plentiful in some nurseries 

 as to make entire blocks of stock look sick, with leaves Avilted and 

 brownish. (In some cases the drouth helped to make this condi- 

 tion.) Leaf hoppers, fall wel) worm, aphids on apples, plums and 

 currants, poplar l)eetle on poplars and willows, snowy tree cricket 

 on raspberry, blight on poplar, anthracnose on gooseberries and cur- 

 rants, leaf spot on currants, blight on apple, gray bark or spur blight, 

 anthracnose and crowngall on cane fruits were some of the pests 

 reported.
