Winter nest: Small caterpil-

This is the stage (see Fig. 24) in which they reach Min- 
nesota and other states on nursery stock and ornamentals, and is 
what the nurserymen and florists should look for, and what the 
inspector looks for at time of unpacking stock. THESE NESTS 
SHOULD BE CUT OFF AND BURNED IMMEDIATELY. IF 
LEFT ANY LENGTH OF TIME IN STOREROOM WHERE 
IT IS MODERATELY WARM THE CATERPILLARS 
MIGHT CRAWL OUT AND IN THAT WAY BE OVER-
